Sara Saiger, GA LCSW CSW007664

Hi! Thank you for viewing my profile!
Working with individuals inflicted with mental health issues has been my long term passion.
I have a wide array of experience with both mental health and substance use disorders, and specialize in the adult (18+) and geriatric populations. I have been working as the Clinical Supervisor of a crisis center for the past 5 years and prior, as a Behavioral Health Therapist in a psychiatric setting for over 12 years. Earlier in my career, i spent just over 3 years working as a Clinical Care Coordinator and Therapist for an inpatient substance abuse program. I have loved all my positions and have such compassion for those who are suffering.
I obtained my undergraduate degree from University of Buffalo in New York in Health and Human Services with a minor in Sociology and my Masters of Social Work degree from University of South Florida in 2005. I use a person-centered, solution focused approach along with motivational interviewing, and believe that each individual circumstance has its own recipe for success, which includes a high level of trust and rapport between client and therapist.
Most people find me to be extremely empathetic, pragmatic, nonjudgmental, and eternally hopeful. I have a deep passion for helping others in need and firmly believe in the ability to change and better our lives.
I look forward to getting to know you and assist you through your current struggles in attempt to uncover the best version of yourself :)
