Sara Rothleder
As a new client liaison, community outreach coordinator and workshop presenter, Sara Rothleder, LCSW-C strives to help as many people as possible live fulfilling lives. Sara uses her depth of experience and knowledge as well as her compassionate nature to build and enhance supportive and productive relationships with colleagues and clients at Gaithersburg Counseling Center. Sara recognizes that each individual looks for treatment for their own unique reasons and she utilizes a strengths-based perspective to empower clients to find the help they are looking for. She brings this approach to her workshops as well. Sara employs her training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help workshop attendees achieve their goals. Without judgment, Sara actively listens to new clients to determine what their needs and wants are and together develops a plan to get them the help they are looking for. She believes in creating a validating environment where clients and therapists are empowered to create the life they want to live and to feel more in control of their emotions and behaviors. Sara presents on topics for therapists who work with a vast array of emotional stressors including anxiety, stress, depression, abuse and trauma, relationship issues, and issues surrounding life transitions.
Sara obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Michigan. Then, Sara earned her Master of Social Work degree at the University of Maryland, specializing in working with Children and Families. As a Clinical Social Worker with over fifteen years of experience, Sara recently spent a significant amount of time working with severely emotionally disturbed adolescents and their families. In doing so, Sara developed an expertise in helping such clients and their families cope with the effects of mental illness and develop strategies for building better lives. Sara also has experience working with adults struggling with significant mood disorders.
