Looking for a DBT therapist in Philadelphia, Lancaster, Harrisburg, York & Lebanon, PA who helps you feel not so crazy?

You wish you knew how to make people understand just how much emotional pain you’re in because when you’ve tried before, it wasn’t pretty. You’re feeling ashamed and all you really want is to know that you’re not crazy; that you won’t be left alone.

Your life has become unmanageable, chaotic & out of control; your relationships have suffered & you don’t know what to do. What you do know is that you desperately want to feel better. You just want some relief from the panic attacks, the intense worry & fear of rejection, painful relationships, and feeling like sh*t.

I'm Sara Weand, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and DBT therapist, who spent almost 20 years working in the mental health field, through state and local agencies, soaking up as much knowledge, experience, and specialized expertise in the treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder, anxiety, and trauma, before devoting myself to opening my own virtual therapy private practice.

Finding the Best DBT & Anxiety Therapist for YOU

Whether or not you’ve gone to therapy or counseling before, you’re nervous to put yourself out there- it feels so uncomfortable; embarrassing; scary… You may have been told that you’re just not trying hard enough and that you actually want to be this way.

Here’s the thing—

Not all DBT therapists and anxiety treatments are the same.

As a DBT therapist who provides standard, outpatient DBT therapy, I get it. Sometimes, you need more than insight alone to make sustainable, positive changes in your life. Sometimes you need to learn practical & effective skills to help you get through the mess. Sometimes simply changing your thinking or “thinking more positively” isn’t gonna cut it.

A DBT therapist who accepts AND challenges you.

My clients have told me time and time again, that before they started working with me, they didn’t feel like they had a voice; that they weren’t being listened to. They felt dismissed, let down, and even blamed for their failure to improve or the trauma they experienced.

You want to feel heard & to know that there’s hope.

Working with me, I believe that YOU are the expert in what you’ve been going through. As a DBT therapist, I can help YOU solve the problems in YOUR life. That means helping you create a life that’s worth living and not simply existing, full of emotional suffering.

Philadelphia DBT Therapy for BPD & Philadelphia Anxiety Therapy

I get that you’ve been doing the best you can and you’re still feeling like crap. I get that you want to improve; to make changes, but don’t know what to do. You’re left feeling stuck, helpless, and overwhelmed.

As a DBT therapist, I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), to help my clients find their way out of hell.

When you work with me, I can help you stop riding the “emotion roller coaster”, by learning how to regulate & tolerate your emotions, cope with panic attacks & debilitating anxiety, keep relationships with the people you love the most, and build a life that is worth living. Taking the first step to getting help can be powerful.

And... just in case you happened to land on this page because you were interested in the Sara "outside the therapy office"...

I'm half Swedish and am totally love adventures and exploring. Native to Pennsylvania, I'm a wife, mom, and a perfectionist in recovery.

After many years of working in the mental health field for local and state agencies, where I spent way too much time dealing with “red tape” policies and navigating systems where people were second to paperwork, I devoted myself to opening my own counseling and psychotherapy practice, where I pride myself in prioritizing helping people- pure and simple.

I absolutely love traveling and exploring new places, particularly if Geocaching or metal detecting are involved. When I'm not enjoying time with my family, my "Happy places" include my local CrossFit box, flea markets, creating mixed media art, or simply meditating on my deck.
