Sarah BenchPsychologist, PhD

About

I am a clinical psychologist working with adolescents and adults, with offices in Midtown East and the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I have specialized training and a particular expertise in adolescent psychotherapy, informed by my experience working in independent schools. I enjoy working with teens who feel anxious, misunderstood, or insecure, and who want support navigating relationships with peers and family. I also work with adults who may feel stuck or overwhelmed and are looking for a thoughtful, supportive space to better understand themselves and their relationships. I work from an interpersonal, psychodynamic perspective. Together we will explore your personal history, emotional experiences, and relationships, including the therapeutic relationship itself, to understand how past patterns shape the present and to open space for new ways of being. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help manage symptoms.
