Sarah Heyn

Sarah Heyn is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin, credentialed to provide professional mental health care (WI LCSW 8892-123). She brings eight years of experience to her clinical work and has served in a variety of care settings, including a community clinic and a private Christian counseling office, along with graduate internships at UW Hospital and the VA Hospital in Madison.

She works with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem difficulties, grief, relationship and family conflicts, parenting issues, ADHD, LGBTQ-specific concerns, substance use, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, eating and sleeping disorders, anger management, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Her approach is respectful, strengths-based, and client-centered, rooted in the belief that each person is the expert in their own life.

Sarah aims to guide clients who may be overwhelmed by stressors or challenging symptoms. She combines clients' personal strengths with evidence-informed techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy to build individualized treatment plans. Before concluding therapy, she helps clients develop a practical action plan to respond to future stressors.

To support a healthy work-family balance, Sarah maintains consistent communication practices: she responds to messages on the platform Monday through Friday during business hours until 2 p.m., and she typically addresses messages sent in the evening or on Sunday first thing the next business morning. She is also available for live video or phone sessions each business day between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Sarah is transparent about limitations of the online format - she does not write letters to courts, lawyers, or medical professionals, but she can discuss strategies to help clients advocate for themselves within those systems from a therapeutic perspective.

Taking the step to seek therapy is a positive move, and Sarah looks forward to partnering with clients to make progress toward their goals.
