Dr. Sarah Leclerc, NY Psychologist 022745

Dr. Sarah Leclerc is a psychologist who brings a Haitian and feminist perspective to therapy, grounded in the belief that people benefit from having a supportive space to show up as themselves and explore the complex, evolving nature of identity. She is licensed in New York (NY Psychologist 022745) and works with adults navigating concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, and coping with life changes. She also supports clients dealing with isolation or loneliness, life purpose, money and financial issues, multicultural concerns, and self-love.

Her work is strongly informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based practices, with an emphasis on learning to make room for difficult thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations while still taking steps toward what matters most. In sessions, clients may practice noticing painful experiences with greater gentleness and self-compassion, and then explore how to move toward values-guided action even when avoidance or isolation feels tempting. Mindfulness can be used as a practical skill for staying present and building steadier awareness in everyday moments.

As a feminist psychologist, Dr. Leclerc also keeps culture, history, and systemic barriers in view, including the ways racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and Islamophobia can shape mental health. She values healing and liberating work that helps people build connection, find affirming communities, and strengthen the relationship they have with themselves through intentional self-care and embodied presence in daily life.
