Sarah McCaslin is the Executive Director of the Psychotherapy & Spirituality Institute, where she also serves as a clinician, faculty member, and clinical supervisor. A licensed clinical social worker and ordained minister, Sarah is committed to integrating the sacred into psychotherapy—supporting individuals and communities in exploring how spirituality can be a source of resilience, healing, and transformation.

Sarah’s therapeutic approach is relational and integrative, informed by mindfulness, interpersonal neurobiology, and family systems theory. She works with individuals, families, and couples, with a particular interest in supporting adolescents—who, as psychologist Lisa Miller describes, are in a stage of profound spiritual discovery—and the parents who accompany them. She also works regularly with interfaith couples navigating the complexities of identity, tradition, and relational growth.

Her clinical work is enriched by advanced post-graduate training from the Ackerman Institute for the Family. She is known for creating a space where clients can explore their spiritual stories—whether rooted in a faith tradition, marked by loss or struggle, or unfolding along more personal and evolving paths.

In addition to her leadership at PSI, Sarah serves as adjunct faculty at Union Theological Seminary and is a national presenter on spiritually integrated psychotherapy. She has spoken at the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium—one of the largest gatherings of psychotherapists in the world—on the role of the sacred in clinical practice.

Sarah holds a Master of Social Work from Columbia University and a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary.

Sarah can be reached at smccaslin@psinyc.org and 929.382.4504. She arranges initial consultations to prospective clients free of charge.
