Meet Emma Sartain, LSW:
Hello! I’m a therapist at Olive Branch Therapy Group and a Licensed Social Worker. I received my undergraduate degree from York College of Pennsylvania and my Masters’ in Social Work with a Certificate in Interpersonal Violence and Trauma from Rutgers University. Previously I have worked in both crisis intervention and long-term counseling settings. I specialize in healthy relationship building, personal and past family traumas and abuse.
My Therapy Specialties:
I specialize in working with adolescents, teens and adults dealing with:
- Trauma
- Grief/Loss
- Self-Esteem and Growth
- Boundary Setting and Communication
- Empowerment
- Stress Management and Mood Regulation
- Anxiety and Depression
- Intimate Partner Violence/Teen Dating Violence
What drew me to this work:
I have always been interested in how we grow and change as individuals, and the ways that we impact each other during that process. I believe that everyone deserves access to a system of support as they engage in the change process, and I am honored to be a part of that system. I am regularly in awe of the individual capacity to change and seek to provide trauma-informed care across the lifespan in order to support that continued growth.
My style:
I strive to provide warm and genuine spaces for my clients. I believe in humor, transparency, and meeting clients where they are in their individual journey. I have found that one of the most supportive things I can provide is a space that is safe and truly non judgemental. I believe that you are the expert in your own lived experience and emphasize that you are the one who has gotten you through until now!
A Little About Me:
In my free time, I’m normally making a craft of some kind! I can often be found embroidering, crocheting, or trying to get my dogs to stop laying on my current projects.
Services I offer:
In-person individual therapy
