Sara Solomon, LMFT
The journey towards change looks different for everyone, and I am honored to be part of it.
My 13 years of experience in the field of addiction and substance misuse has given me a compassionate and change-oriented approach to the self and relationships. With extensive training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), a modality that honors the balance between acceptance and change, I offer a variety of resources and skills while also using somatic parts work to build emotional awareness and heal from trauma.
I believe our dreams offer another way to heal - Dreamtending sessions provide an in-depth exploration of your dreams to cultivate creativity and a deeper connection to the unconscious self. I offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and psychedelic integration for those who are on a progressive healing journey.
It is important to recognize that different people have different personalities and styles. Make sure you feel comfortable and connected with the person you choose as a therapist. I encourage meeting with various therapists in order to find the best fit.
SPECIALTIES: Couples and family conflict, addiction, trauma, emotional dysregulation, codependency, self-worth

After completing my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University, a social justice institution, and clinical training at Exodus Recovery IOP in Los Angeles, I followed my heart to New York City. I chose to establish my practice in Brooklyn where I was lucky to work with adults, couples, teens, and families with a broad range of backgrounds, occupations, races, and sexual orientations. I have now returned to Los Angeles, maintaining my New York practice via Zoom, and seeing clients in person in Silverlake.
In addition to counseling privately, I have served as both the Director of Women’s Programming and Director of DBT Programming for a private eating disorder clinic and sober living facility in Manhattan. I have facilitated mindfulness skills groups and taught workshops for adults, teens, and families since 2012.
