Dr. Sarah Altman is a dedicated psychologist who understands that extremes in emotional and psychological states can lead to imbalance, avoidance, and mindlessness. These challenges often manifest in other areas of health, including eating habits, physical activity, and sleep patterns. Individuals may cope with emotional or stress-related eating as a way to navigate through these complexities, which can disconnect them from their values and goals. Dr. Altman is committed to helping clients reestablish their core values and goals by emphasizing a balanced perspective and an awareness of the mind, body, and behaviors. Utilizing evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Dr. Altman supports those facing behavioral health concerns. She specializes in the treatment of trauma and PTSD through Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and her expertise extends to assisting individuals struggling with eating, weight, and body image issues, as well as related emotional challenges including depression and anxiety. Dr. Altman also holds an Adjunct Faculty position at OSU and has shared her knowledge as a presenter at various national and local conferences on the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of eating disorders and weight concerns.
