About Collaborative Minds Psychotherapy LLC

From our founder, Sara Schreiber, LCSW: I have always felt drawn to helping people. Even as a child, I noticed who was being left out and instinctively found ways to bring them in, integrating new friends into already established groups. In many ways, I’ve been creating “groups” for as long as I can remember, which is one of the reasons group therapy continues to feel so meaningful to me. Becoming a therapist felt like a natural extension of this instinct. It offered a clear path to truly listen, help people better understand themselves, and support them in discovering where they want to go in life.

At Collaborative Minds Psychotherapy, this same spirit guides our approach as a group practice. The clinicians I hire share a commitment to creating spaces where people feel seen, understood, and supported. We aim to help our clients navigate growth, connection, and change with compassion and clarity. For us, therapy is not just about addressing challenges—it’s about fostering genuine human connection and helping each person find their own path forward.

Jewish Community Experience

You can expect sessions to feel supportive, thoughtful, and grounded in genuine connection. Our clinicians focus on creating a space where clients feel safe to be themselves—whether that means speaking openly, sitting with emotion, asking difficult questions, or moving at their own pace. Each session is collaborative and tailored to the individual, balancing listening and reflection with gentle guidance, practical tools, and skill-building when it’s helpful. Clients often gain deeper insight into their thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns, while also developing strategies to manage anxiety, mood, stress, and interpersonal challenges.

For adolescents and young adults, sessions often provide support around identity development, peer relationships, family dynamics, and navigating life transitions. When appropriate, we collaborate with parents, families, schools, and other providers to ensure care is comprehensive and aligned. Whether in individual or group therapy, our goal is for clients to leave feeling understood, supported, and better equipped to navigate life with confidence, resilience, and self-compassion. Our approach honors the rich diversity of the Jewish community while offering culturally sensitive care that meets each person where they are.

  Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a new, scientifically based psychotherapy that takes a fresh look at why we suffer and even what it means to be mentally healthy.
