Sarah Yellapa, MSW, RSW

 Hi! I’m Sarah, a fully bilingual (English/French), Registered Social Worker supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and parents seeking new ways to support their child.

I completed my Bachelor of Social Work degree at Toronto Metropolitan University and pursued my Master of Social Work at the University of Toronto, specializing in children and families.

My passion for mental health and well-being fuels my commitment to empowering clients in navigating a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, disordered eating, body image, low self-esteem, perfectionism, stress, bullying, self-harm, ADHD, and emotion regulation.

Working from a holistic perspective, I employ a tailored strengths-based approach to therapy, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, EFT, and EFFT to support clients in overcoming barriers and achieving positive change.

In our journey together, I prioritize establishing a strong foundation of trust and genuine connections through transparent communication. My goal is to create a warm, safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and valued, as we explore challenges and progress toward achieving goals.

Outside of my work with OWPC, I enjoy travelling, going to concerts, playing with my little dog, going to the gym, and spending time with family and friends.
