Sara Mallen

Sara Mallen is a licensed clinical social worker and therapist dedicated to supporting clients aged 7-25 who seek weekly or bi-weekly outpatient therapy. She treats a diverse range of mental health disorders and emphasizes the importance of a person’s environment and relationships in their therapeutic journey. Sara is passionate about working with local clients in her community and combines this with her role in a children's partial hospital program. Her extensive background includes various settings such as schools, outpatient care, and partial hospitalization, where she primarily employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with children and young adults. Throughout her professional career, she has prioritized the inclusion of families in the treatment process, understanding that children exist within a larger systemic framework. Recognizing that engaging in therapy, particularly scheduling that first appointment, can be challenging, Sara offers a warm and structured approach, drawing on her prior experience as a licensed infant, toddler, and daycare teacher when working with younger clients.
