Dr. Sarah Bond

Hi there, I'm Dr. Sarah, a psychodynamic psychologist specializing in relationships issues, self-esteem, and spirituality. 

I’m a licensed psychologist with a doctoral degree in clinical psychology. My education and training involved over six years of theory and clinical application, including three years of practicum, a 2000 hour APA-accredited internship, and 1500 hours of supervised post-doctoral residency work. Along the way, I developed specializations in psychodynamic and relational approaches to treatment. At this time, I work exclusively with individual adults. 

My orientation is relational and intersubjective, meaning that I understand the therapeutic relationship itself as central to the work and not merely its container. We don’t see others as they are, so much as we create them in the image of what we’ve come to expect from others. This is true in life, and also in therapy. What unfolds between two people in a room, the feelings that get stirred, the dynamics that get enacted, all of these are therapy’s most vital material, not distractions. 

Along with my training, I also bring my own experience as a patient in depth-oriented therapy. This personal work has helped shape my understanding of myself, and informed the way I practice. I understand from both sides what this work asks of us, and what it can offer.
