Sarai Bak, LPCC
Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate with a wide variety of experiences and skills. I believe that therapy is a partnership, a collaboration between counselor and client(s) to reach the client’s goals. Those goals may be concrete, like learning coping skills to treat depression symptoms, or abstract, like processing past traumas. Therapy is not one-size-fits all, therefore I’m committed to tailoring my therapy to my clients’ needs using trauma-informed, strengths-based, and multiculturally competent approaches.
As a queer Jewish woman and the child of a refugee, I know how much our identity and cultural upbringing can affect our mental health and our understanding of social roles. I strive to make space for all identities and backgrounds in my therapy room in order to create a safe, welcoming space where we can have difficult conversations about how who we are affects what we do, and vice versa.
