Sarah Schiano DiCola, LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration and respect for each person's unique experiences and goals.

I specialize in working with clients facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, trauma, self-esteem issues and personal growth. I believe that therapy provides a safe and supportive space where clients can gain insight, develop effective coping strategies and build the confidence needed to move forward.

My therapeutic style is direct, meaning I prioritize authenticity in therapy; I'm not a blank slate. I draw from a multitude of evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients achieve lasting and meaningful results.

I earned my Master's degree from Springfield College and have 10 years of experience working in hospital settings, starting as a clinician in the child and adolescent inpatient setting. After this I became a clinician working with adults and families at a residential substance use treatment facility for both intensive and intermediate levels of care. I am currently AcuDetox Certified. Throughout my career, I have been committed to creating an inclusive environment where clients from diverse backgrounds feel heard, valued and empowered.

Seeking support is a courageous step. Whether you are working through a difficult period, seeking personal growth, or looking to strengthen your relationships, I look forward to collaborating with you on your journey toward healing and well-being.
