About Me
Sarah Beatty, LCSW
I am a client-centered, anti-oppressive, relational therapist. My approach is warm, empathic, gentle, and trauma-informed. I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been in practice for 10 years. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and a BA in English from DePauw University. In my free time, you'll find me with my chihuahua-husky mix, Moonie!

I believe...
Because I'm in a role where I have the privilege to say it...
We all deserve bodily autonomy.
Black, Brown and Indigenous lives matter.
Trans people have always existed and always will.
Immigrants belong.
Disabled, chronically-ill, neurodiverse, and fat bodies are beautiful and deserve to take up space.
