Sarah continues to work for herself in her practice, providing therapy services for clients, supervisory services for her staff, and administrative responsibilities to maintain her business. Rising Lotus Counseling has become a very well-known practice in its location as one of the few agencies there that directly services youth, provides play and art therapy, and specifically treats maternal mental health conditions. While running Rising Lotus Counseling, Sarah has also been an adjunct professor for several of New York’s top social work programs since 2017 including Adelphi University, Columbia University, and Fordham University.
