Sara Linnehan | MSW, LCSW, LCSW-C

ABOUT ME

I am a grief and trauma therapist working with people in Maryland, Delaware, and Tennessee. I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) in 2010 from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in Baltimore, Maryland. In 2021, I completed my certification in grief and trauma therapy with the Wendt Center for Loss and Healing in Washington, D.C.

My journey toward grief and trauma work took shape in 2018, after several years of hospital and outpatient clinic work. In this work, I witnessed so much healing from genuine human connection and access to self-compassion and curiosity.

In my work, my passion is to be with those living with immense grief and loss, including complicated grief and loss due to suicide. I believe there is no right way to grieve and that no one should feel all alone in grief. I love being with people through the complexities of grief—witnessing how they evolve an ongoing relationship with their person, navigate both the dark and light moments, and find a way toward an ongoing life.

WHAT KEEPS ME GROUNDED

I value time with my husband and two children, especially playing outside. I love to hike, swim, and work in the yard. My greatest joys come from developing meaningful connections and exploring our world through travel.
