You wake up from another nightmare about something that happened when you were a kid, and now you’re exhausted before the day has even started. A memory from childhood pops up while you’re trying to get through your day, and you can’t get it out of your mind. Your boss speaks to you in the same tone your parent used when you were a kid, and you feel yourself tense up.
You’ve tried to put what happened behind you, but it keeps finding its way into your life now. You’re tired of your childhood having this much power over your life.
I specialize in EMDR therapy for adults across Pennsylvania and Delaware who are struggling with what happened in childhood. EMDR can help you work through these experiences so they don’t have as much power over your life today, without having to talk about everything that happened in detail.
If you’re ready for things to feel different, schedule a free consultation to see if we might be a good fit.

Treatment Approach
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
Approach Description: EMDR therapy can look different depending on what you need and where we are in the process. We might pay attention to what you notice in your body or spend time understanding the different parts of you that show up when you’re struggling.
We’ll also spend time helping you feel ready to address difficult memories rather than rushing into them. I’ll explain what we’re doing and why along the way, so you understand how it connects to the things you want to change.
When we do focus on difficult experiences from childhood, you don’t have to tell me every detail of what happened.

I’m Sarah Sternlieb, a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDR therapist. EMDR is the main approach I use in therapy, and I sometimes incorporate somatic tools, mindfulness, and parts-informed approaches into EMDR depending on what would be most helpful for you.
You don’t need to come to therapy knowing exactly where to start. We’ll look at what’s affecting you now, explore how it may connect to what happened earlier in your life, and decide together where we focus. I’ll help you make sense of what’s coming up without assuming I already know the answer for you.
The goal isn’t just to understand why you feel the way you do. We want what you’re struggling with to actually start feeling different.
Using EMDR and other mind-body approaches, I help your brain process what you’ve been carrying so it no longer feels like it’s taking over your life. Therapy with me is collaborative, paced around you, and focused on helping you feel more grounded, more connected, and more at ease in your day-to-day life.
