I feel so lucky to have been matched with Sara. In her presence I felt safe enough to bring to light issues I had been too afraid to even acknowledge for years. Sara always gave me the space I needed to meander and explore problems in my own time no matter how long that was. Sara has unfortunately succeeded in helping me to become a healthier person however and so our regular sessions are coming to an end but I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her on a steady basis. She is one of the most supportive and genuine people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and I could not recommend her services enough.

During these unprecedented times many of us need extra support and more than ever a listening ear to share our experiences. Everyone's journey with social isolation is unique - we are all coping differently. However, stress, anxiety, depression and fear for the future are widespread. I'm an experienced licensed therapist and counselor, former Fortune 50 executive with experience in Hospital Psychiatric facilities and as a Peace Corps Response volunteer in Africa working in crisis and high stress public health situations. I also offer you safety and support during times of crisis or whenever you or your family may feel out of your depth.
Having faced my own life challenges I'm especially looking forward to hearing your story and working together towards the solutions you're searching for. My most meaningful partnerships are with clients who embrace collaboration and creativity in their paths to finding the life they want for themselves, their family and friends.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Being with Sara has truly opened my eyes in ways that I hadn’t imagined. It hasn’t always been easy, and it is actually through those challenging times that I have been able to learn the most from being in relationship with Sara. Sometimes, we learn the most from relationships that seemingly do not work in ways we had hoped. This time I have had with Sara has also reemphasized that sometimes what needs to be addressed isn’t necessarily what we had in mind upon entering therapy and that’s okay. My time with Sara reflects these points in a meaningful way. Although, our time together is drawing to a close, it has put me in a position to reflect on how I am being and what I’m actually doing in relation to who I want to be. It has helped me regain my footing toward continuing to become my authentic self and creating an authentic professional identity. Thank you, Sara, for remaining in partnership with me throughout my confusion and this part of my journey in being my authentic self.
I was matched with Sara during a very difficult time in my life. I couldn’t ask to be matched with a better person. She meets me where I am and helps me work through what is going on in my life. Her compassion, expertise and guidance are so valuable. I am so grateful for her help.
Sara has helped me through some really complicated issues. She is a great listener who knows how to parse out feedback just when you need it.
Prof. Sara Chesters care is evident in every session and message she responds to. She listens and genuinely cares what is happening in my life. The short time I’ve been working with her has been a great help.
I’ve known Sara for less than six months but it feels like much longer. She has helped me change my life completely and trust my intuition. She’s helping me out up boundaries around toxic people snd situations and focus on the positive people and things in my life. I can’t recommend her enough! She’s very personable and understanding and you can tell she really cares.
She's amazing and is always there no matter what and always has something to say about what's going on. She's amazing
I love Sara! She is very thoughtful and insightful. She understands what my goals are and is very down to get into the nitty gritty of my inner most feelings but also is able to help me zoom out and see the big picture. 10/10 would recommend!
Sara is an important person in my life and has been a wonderful counselor for me for over a year now . I am very grateful to have found her. Thank you!
