Sarah Vidal

Hi there!

I’m Sarah Vidal (she/her/they/them), and I’m honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey. As a Licensed Master Social Worker, I approach therapy as a human first—because I know firsthand how difficult it can be to take that first step toward healing, especially when you’re confronting deep inner pain and trauma. Whether you’re dealing with disordered eating, body image struggles, anxiety, depression, or trauma, I’m here to meet you exactly where you are, ready to support you without judgment.

My work is informed not only by clinical expertise but also by my lived experience, which allows me to offer a compassionate, understanding, and personalized approach. I’m especially passionate about working with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, recognizing the unique challenges that trans and gender non-conforming folks may face, particularly in relation to body image and dysmorphia. My goal isn’t just to help you resolve issues but to help you move toward becoming your most whole and authentic self.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our work together will be tailored to meet your unique needs. As I learn more about you and your goals, I may use techniques like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—or a combination of approaches. At the core of our work, I use a psychodynamic approach to help you better understand yourself, your relationships, and the behavioral patterns that may be holding you back. I’m also here to help you communicate your needs to the important people in your life so they can support you in the best way possible.

Throughout our time together, my aim is for you to feel truly supported, empowered, and seen. I work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework and believe in the principles of Intuitive Eating, ensuring that our work together will honor your body and your process. I’m also open to collaborating with any dietitians or primary care providers on your care team.

When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me spending time with my partner, taking my pup to the park, or belting out tunes in a piano bar in NYC. I’m a proud theatre kid at heart, a chronic Friends watcher, and a total coffee lover! I look forward to learning more about you and how we can work together to make lasting changes in your life.
