Sarah Bent

Sarah Bent, LCSW, provides clinical support for people facing mood and trauma-related concerns from her licensure in Indiana and Maine. Over eight years of practice she has focused on anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, grief, and post-traumatic stress. Her work also reaches into areas such as chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and challenges that arise in family and interpersonal relationships.

Her clinical orientation combines client-centered listening with structured tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Trauma-focused strategies are used when past events are a central part of a person’s current difficulties. Sessions are offered with attention to each person’s pace and goals, and interventions are tailored to the presenting issues and individual preferences.

Sarah draws on training that includes attention to multicultural concerns, sexual assault and abuse, and later-life and hospice-related needs. She supports efforts to strengthen communication, build self-regard, and address isolation, guilt, and shame. People who are looking for a collaborative clinician with a focus on practical coping skills and trauma-informed care can consider working with her.
