About Sara Moskowitz
Sara Moskowitz is a compassionate and intuitive somatic psychotherapist specializing in helping people unlock the wisdom within their bodies. Through Somatic Experiencing (SE) and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), Sara supports clients in addressing anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, and life’s challenges at a deeper level than traditional talk therapy. Her clients frequently report leading more embodied, fulfilling, and connected lives after this work.
Sara’s clinical training includes extensive postgraduate education in trauma, Somatic Experiencing, and nervous system regulation, including certification as a Safe and Sound Protocol provider (see her full training background below). She works with people navigating anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, and complex conditions like POTS/EDS/MCAS, where a nervous system stuck in overdrive can complicate an already tricky picture. With a balance of that formal training and her own intuition, Sara has a knack for knowing what intervention might support a particular client best.
She works with folks from all over Chicago, including her hometown of Oak Park, and is licensed to provide telehealth services throughout Illinois.
In addition to her professional expertise, Sara is a mother to two children and one rambunctious dog. She finds joy in watching her family grow, indulging in sub-par reality TV, and exploring her creative side as an artist. Sara often works with clients seeking to deepen their intuition, connect with spirituality, or explore their creative outlets.
Whether you’re seeking to move beyond trauma, calm a nervous system that won’t settle, or live a richer and more connected life, Sara is here to guide you on your journey.
