For some, the choice to find a therapist comes in moments of hardship or crisis. For others, it comes as an easy decision filled with curiosity. Wherever you are in your self-development, I’d like to meet you there. Your goals are central to our work together, and together we will craft a treatment plan that meeds your needs at a pace that feels safe and accessible. Not sure where to start? No problem - that’s a great place to begin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636dbccc01d1fa72da10baec/1668136183221-L4UZAOI5YSY4H7PUJYMO/AdobeStock_323427575+copy+2.jpeg Services - Virtual and In-Person Therapy Whether your preference is face-to-face in an office or from the comfort of your own home, I offer both. Virtual therapy is available for Oregon clients, and my office in Bend is a space for any Oregonian who wishes to connect in person. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636dbccc01d1fa72da10baec/1668476554374-VJ30SKJ0X5MMBFA98CYB/unsplash-image-RwS9lbEprx4.jpg Services - Intimacy and Sex Therapy Intimacy and sex are not the same, but we often include them in the same breath of vulnerability. Sex and intimacy therapy may serve clients experiencing emotional distress with their sex life, physical discomfort during sexual play, desire discrepancy in partnership, shame, navigating kink/BDSM relationships, sexual trauma, erectile variability, and more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636dbccc01d1fa72da10baec/1668477145653-QZX8MDFBQRTTDNSM9KGP/unsplash-image-5-c6-_ZVnes.jpg Services - Attachment-based Therapy Attachment theory posits that caregiver patterns of attachment in childhood condition our behavioral patterns in emotional attachments throughout the lifespan. As an attachment-oriented therapist, I often look at patterns in interpersonal relationships as a guiding light for our work. Attachment can apply to so many individual therapeutic goals - whether you are struggling with your identity, connections, purpose, communication skills, depression, anxiety, codependency, or something else, together we can work to heal and repair the patterns that may be limiting a sense of peace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636dbccc01d1fa72da10baec/1668476753262-3Y4VIOYTBPI6HS037OCH/unsplash-image-iV-BBV6wQds.jpg Services - Partnership and Couples Therapy While “couples” therapy is the common vernacular, the word can erase partnerships of more than two or of a different orientation. I work with monogamous and non-monogamous couples and partnerships to enhance communication skills, reconnect, safely navigate conflict, and cultivate intimacy. Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) is at the heart of my partnership work. In addition to romantic partnerships, I also provide relational therapy for other relationship configurations (such as co-parents or friendship). https://www.sarahsilverstein.com/home daily 1.0 2025-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636dbccc01d1fa72da10baec/ded57aa8-4e00-48c8-aef1-32556e31e5da/IMG_6013.jpeg Home - Hi, I’m Sarah she/hers; therapist, coffee lover, and outdoorist I support my clients in overcoming trauma, cultivating intimacy, forging healthy relationships with sex/uality, and deconstructing social narratives in order to live a fulfilling and connected life. I work with individuals and within relationships; romantic couples, polyamorous/ethically non-monogamous partnerships, friends, and family are all welcome here. My mission is to provide a safe, inclusive practice that centers and affirms non-traditional frameworks, counternarratives, LGBTQIA+ identities, and queer, feminist theories. Together we can seek to unpack the harm done by systems of oppression in order to shed the “shoulds” and live your most connected life. https://www.sarahsilverstein.com/group-general-about-page daily 0.75 2022-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636dbccc01d1fa72da10baec/1668136150023-RVIME6L35MOQNO1BPJK7/AdobeStock_308765767.jpg Group General About Page - Hi, I’m Clark I’m so glad you’re here Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue.

My fundamental approach to healing lies in the power of connection. Prior to receiving my Master’s of Social Work at the University of Denver, I worked in experiential and outdoor education as a trip leader and guide for six years. For weeks at a time, I facilitated meaningful outdoor adventures for teenagers and university students in order to foster opportunities for social-emotional growth. Over time, that passion for personal development lead me to pursue my MSW. During my graduate program, I directed my attention to another world that had always captivated my interest - sex, intimacy, and identity. Today I work as a therapist with a specialty in these three areas, informed by my history as an interpersonal-oriented guide. I feel deeply lucky to do the work I’m able to do, and it is a privilege to be with others in their own journey of self-discovery, self-growth, and self-acceptance. https://www.sarahsilverstein.com/instagram-landing-page-1 daily 0.75 2022-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636dbccc01d1fa72da10baec/1668136195380-Y4IQDY7H70JFYMZ354VB/AdobeStock_301393089.jpeg https://www.sarahsilverstein.com/specialty daily 0.75 2022-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636dbccc01d1fa72da10baec/1668136197528-26DQ21L9BCWR17FUS9JA/Ellen+-+Anger+Image.jpg Specialty - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636dbccc01d1fa72da10baec/1668136197533-M4ZKIFYBNJW5OZBFMU41/AdobeStock_323427575+copy+2.jpeg Specialty - You deserve to feel seen and heard A safe space to explore your emotions Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue.
