Sarah Anas

During my time in graduate school, I have worked at New York Presbyterian's eating disorders unit, as well as NYU's Center for Counseling and Community Wellbeing. I've worked with clients of all ages, ethnicities, and presenting problems. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a space that works for them, utilizing compassion-based cognitive behavioral therapies, as well as components of dialectical behavior therapy, to help clients tolerate difficult emotions, gain insight to their experiences and symptoms, and reduce negative thoughts. I like to explore values and motivations, create a 'tool-belt' of skills to get through difficult times, and see how compassion can lead to growth.

I am a Health at Every Size Aligned therapist, meaning I believe an individual can be healthy and healed with any body shape or weight. I generally operate from an anti-diet, intuitive eating approach, and help clients to unlearn diet culture's rules. Further, I believe that therapy is built on trust, connection, and empathy. I strive to make therapy a warm, safe, and sometimes even fun space. I am an active supporter of LGBTQIA+ initiatives, anti-racist movements, and women's reproductive rights. I will always fight to ensure all of my clients have the resources they need.
