Who We Are
Sarah McSorley, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been providing psychotherapy since 2016. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Master’s in Social Work at Indiana University and have been offering psychotherapy services to adults, couples, and families since 2011.
Our Therapeutic Approach
At New Leaf Therapy, I work from a grounded, real-world approach that focuses on what’s actually happening for you rather than simply applying predetermined frameworks. I pay close attention to patterns in thoughts, behavior, relationships, and emotional responses, helping you understand how those patterns manifest in your life so we can interrupt them in ways that shift experience, not just insight.
A central part of my work at Leaf Psychotherapy is to help you develop trust in your own judgment and internal sense of knowing, while also fostering more kindness and understanding toward yourself. Many people come to therapy carrying a great deal of self-criticism or feeling as though something about them is 'wrong.' Rather than treating these responses as problems to fix, we work to understand them as understandable adaptations shaped by your experiences and environment.
In our sessions, we focus on:
- Clarifying what’s maintaining distress or conflict,
- Building usable skills that make daily life feel more manageable,
- Strengthening your capacity to tolerate discomfort without shutting down or over-functioning,
- Expanding your ability to relate to yourself and others with greater clarity, choice, and self-respect.
This approach, offered by New Leaf Therapy LLC, draws on evidence-based ideas and tools where they serve your actual goals, but is always tailored to you, not to a diagnosis or a textbook. The emphasis is on helping you feel more grounded in yourself, more trusting of your own perspective, and more able to meet your experiences with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment.
In addition to therapy, I offer coaching and limited consulting and facilitation for professionals and teams navigating communication challenges, recurring interpersonal conflict, and patterns that contribute to burnout or turnover.

Our Mission
My mission at New Leaf Therapy LLC is to help people make sense of their experiences without pathologizing them. Through Leaf Psychotherapy, I aim to strengthen trust in their own judgment and develop more compassionate, effective ways of relating to themselves and others.
