Sally Rabinowitz

Sally (she/her) holds a Master of Science in Art Psychotherapy and provides both traditional verbal therapy and art therapy. She has specialized training in Experiential Dynamic Therapies and focuses on trauma-informed and psychodynamic approaches, examining how past experiences may affect present ones. As a queer, disabled person, Sally’s therapeutic approach emphasizes human connection, collaboration, and fostering a sense of safety and empowerment.

 Therapy can feel daunting, especially when experiences are too difficult or exhausting to initially put into words. However, working as a team can alleviate some of that fear and pressure. Sally strives to work through an anti-oppressive lens, proactively addressing what she might represent as a white cisgender therapist. She is direct, uses humor, and acknowledges the “inconvenient” parts of healing while also providing encouragement and hope when it may be difficult for clients to find their own. With a focus on collaboration, Sally believes that honoring her clients’ perspectives and knowledge is essential to providing successful and individualized support.

Sally emphasizes the importance of communication beyond verbal connection. She specializes in working with individuals coping with anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, relationship issues, functional neurological disorder, complex trauma, chronic illness and chronic pain. 

Sally has guest lectured at the Columbia School of Social Work and has been featured in the American Art Therapy Association (AATA) online magazine. Her 2021 interview with AATA can be read here.
