Sarah Bent, LCSW
About me
As a licensed therapist in Indiana and Maine, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore their unique challenges and strengths. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, focusing on issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and interpersonal dynamics.
My therapeutic practice is deeply rooted in understanding individual experiences, with particular expertise in women's issues, sexuality, chronic health challenges, and multicultural concerns. I'm committed to helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, and work through feelings of isolation, guilt, and shame.
I believe in a holistic, person-centered approach that honors each individual's journey. My goal is to provide supportive, evidence-based guidance that empowers clients to cultivate resilience, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful personal growth.

Sarah is the first therapist I’ve felt truly confident is the right fit for me. She is professional, knowledgeable, understanding, and easy to talk to. She’s also a real person—relatable and warm—making our sessions feel comfortable and genuine rather than cold or clinical. Talking with her feels like speaking to someone who truly understands me, while also providing the expertise and experience to help me grow. She’s helping me develop healthier boundaries with family and friends, improve myself, and work on my emotional intelligence while unlearning old habits and behaviors. The practical tools she provides have already proven effective, and I’ve seen real results in just a few months. I have no doubt that my sessions with her are making a positive impact on my life.
