Carstensen Sara A

Sara saved my life. After years of struggling with substance abuse issues, and the shame that came with it; Sara was the first person to listen without judgement, and provided me with the personalized treatment and resources that I so desperately needed. In addition to substance abuse, I also struggle with depression. Sara has not only helped me find the right combination of medication and therapy that is localized to my personal needs based on her empathetic and extensive medical knowledge, but for the first time I BELIEVED and TRUSTED in another human beings ability to help me. For most of my life I felt unheard, misunderstood, and had been overly medicated by previous healthcare professionals. Together we worked as a team to find the best course of treatment as time went on. She
