Therapy for Young Adults & Adults Navigating Relationships, Anxiety & Life Transitions
For thoughtful, high-functioning adults who may look like they have it all together - but inside are struggling with overthinking, relationship patterns, people-pleasing, anxiety, or uncertainty about what's next.
YOU MIGHT BE HERE BECAUSE…
Maybe you look fine on the outside. But something doesn't feel right.
You may be doing well on paper while privately feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself.
Maybe you're questioning a relationship, replaying conversations, struggling to set boundaries with family, feeling behind your peers, or wondering why you keep falling into the same patterns.
You don't need to be in crisis to start therapy. Sometimes you simply know that the way you're living, relating, or thinking isn't working anymore.
Hi, I’m Sarah.
I'm a New York psychotherapist with 20+ years of clinical experience, working with adults navigating relationships, identity, anxiety, and major life transitions.
My approach is warm, thoughtful, and relational. Rather than simply focusing on what's happening right now, we'll pay attention to the patterns that show up in your relationships, your decisions, your self-talk, and the ways you respond when you're uncertain or overwhelmed.
The goal isn't just to feel better temporarily. It's to understand yourself differently and work on building greater self-trust, clearer boundaries, and a stronger sense of what you actually want - not what you think you should want.

"As I went from college into early adulthood, Sarah Eckfeldt was an invaluable guide through it all. I come from a background where discussing emotions wasn’t the norm and Sarah provided a safe space for me to open up and to trust. She was exceptional at helping me recognize my life patterns and focusing me on what was important; the things I could change. Throughout our sessions, I shared my deepest thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Sarah's support has been instrumental in shaping the person I am today. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking understanding and growth both in general or during a transitional period of life".“I began seeing Sarah to discuss an acute issue I was having in my relationship. I thought therapy was useful for solving specific problems and once those problems were resolved, I would stop. That was nearly seven years ago, and I still look forward to our sessions every week. Over that time, Sarah has helped me enforce boundaries in my personal life, improve my relationships with a number of friends and partners, and helped me better understand my stressors. She is always professional, always prompt, and always communicates clearly. My mental health, relationships and attitude toward life have all improved since I started seeing Sarah.”What You’ll Gain:

Make decisions from clarity, not fear
Quiet your inner critic
Feel grounded + confident in choices
Build a life that feels like yours
You Don't Have to Know Exactly What's Wrong
You may come to therapy because of anxiety, relationship struggles, family dynamics, or uncertainty about what's next. You don't need to arrive with the perfect label. We can figure out together what's underneath what you're experiencing.
Relationships, Dating & Breakups
Dating anxiety, situationships, breakups, communication, and recurring relationship patterns.
Difficult family relationships, guilt, people-pleasing, and learning to set boundaries without losing yourself.
Family & Boundaries
Many people reach a point in early adulthood where life doesn’t look or feel the way they imagined. Instead of excitement, there’s confusion, pressure, or a sense of being lost.
Identity & Life Transitions
Anxiety & Overthinking
Overthinking, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, and emotional overwhelm.
Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means you’re on the edge of meaningful change.
