Sarah Korenblit, LCSW's style

Why Sarah Korenblit, LCSW chose to be in the helping profession

I've known since I was a teen that I wanted to work in the mental health field. From an early age, I was drawn to understanding people, hearing their stories, and helping them navigate challenges. I love being able to bring curiosity, creativity, and empathy into every session, using my skills to truly listen and connect with each person I work with. Every client teaches me something new, and that continual learning keeps me passionate about this work.

What I find most rewarding is seeing growth unfold over time. I enjoy creating a space where people feel heard, understood, and supported as they explore their thoughts and emotions. My approach combines thoughtful observation with practical strategies, always tailored to each individual. Helping people uncover their strengths and navigate life’s challenges is not just my profession, it’s the work I feel called to do.

Sarah Korenblit, LCSW's approach

I approach clients with the belief that they already have everything they need to heal within themselves. This perspective comes from the Carl Rogers and Humanistic approach, which honors the idea that people are doing the best they can with the tools and experiences they’ve had. Over time, my understanding has been deepened through training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), which has given me a richer framework for seeing how our inner worlds operate. I guide clients in connecting with their own inner wisdom, helping them access the calm, curious, and compassionate Self that is always present.

In my work, I see the other Parts of our inner system not as problems, but as well-intentioned voices trying to help, even if their methods are confusing or unhelpful at first. By exploring these dynamics with curiosity and care, clients can begin to understand the messages behind their feelings and behaviors. My goal is to create a space where people feel safe to meet themselves fully, to witness all parts of their inner system without judgment, and to access the guidance and strength that already exist within. Healing, in this way, becomes a process of remembering and reconnecting with the wisdom they’ve always had.

What you can expect from sessions with Sarah Korenblit, LCSW

I also have a strongly practical and down to earth approach. I want to understand you as a person and what actually works for you in real life, not just in theory. I respect that you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance without ever assuming I know your experience better than you do. Therapy should feel useful and grounded, not abstract or disconnected from who you really are.

I have a pretty fun and chilled personality, and I like sessions to feel natural and comfortable rather than stiff or clinical. I believe that humor, warmth, and honesty can be just as important as insight and technique. I strongly recommend that you check out some of my videos to get a feel for my vibe, because finding the right fit matters so much. I think seeing me in action can help you sense whether we might work well together and whether you’d feel at ease sharing your story with me.

Sarah Korenblit, LCSW's experience working with the Jewish community

Since opening my private practice at the end of 2019, I’ve had the privilege of working with Orthodox Jewish clients. As a member of the Orthodox community myself, I bring that lived experience to my work, which helps me understand some of the cultural and communal nuances my clients may navigate. At the same time, I fully recognize that every person’s experience in the Orthodox community is unique, and I see in practice just how different these experiences can be. I make it a priority to leave space for each client’s perspective and never project my own views or experiences onto anyone.

My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and challenges authentically. I honor the ways that faith, tradition, and community shape each person, while supporting them in discovering their own path and solutions. By blending lived experience with curiosity and care, I aim to provide guidance that is both culturally informed and deeply personal.
