Online Therapy/Coaching for Millennials & Gen Z.
Helping you find your value in a devaluing world.
Does this sound like you?
You grew up learning that hard work and determination could get you anywhere, but you never learned how to rest.
You were taught that working hard made you a better person, so you struggle to identify what your values are as an adult.
Because of your upbringing, you feel that your productivity dictates your self-worth, and you feel guilty when you take time off. Since you chose your professional career, you have felt left out and misunderstood when with your family.
You struggle to think about the future because of financial stressors like student loans, and you aren’t sure what needs to change.
You’re pressured to hit social milestones like getting married, having kids and buying a home, even if you want something different or are unable to.
You’re issues are misunderstood by older generations. You’re angry and frustrated, but you don’t feel it’s for a “good enough reason.”
Hi there! I’m Sarah Bryski-Hamrick.
Why I Love Working with Millennial Workers.
I am a millennial. I understand what it’s like to have too much expected of you when you’re working with too little resources. I know that from a young age, you were taught that your hard work defines you - it makes you a better person.
I know what it is like to be burdened by debt, not own anything, and feel like it’s all your fault.
I understand the desire to have experiences instead of hitting traditional life milestones. I know what it is like to reject the oppressive systems that we have been brought up in.
I get what it is like to be over educated and underpaid, while aching with empathy for those around you that are suffering. I get it. I am here to help.
I also know that the younger generation, Gen Z or zoomers are facing the same, if not worse, quality of life challenges as millennials. I am here for you too, Gen Zs.
My Therapeutic Approach.
As a leftist therapist, I specialize in treating left leaning clients. This includes socialists, communists, anarchists, dem socs and folks who are just trying to figure it out.
I use a liberation psychology, feminist therapy and trauma informed care in all of my work. I love using feminist therapy to validate the frustration and the strain that keeps millennials and Gen Zs down. With a liberation psychology frame, I understand that the class struggle encompasses racism, classism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism and other methods of keeping us separated and disempowered. Living within class struggle as we know it causes lasting damage to your mental health.
With me, your therapy will be political.
I also use EMDR therapy and mindfulness to work through “feeling stuck” with old pain and find peace in the now.
Who I am.
I like to garden, nest with my partner and pets, read, and be weird. I like to cultivate safety and continue a lifelong journey of healing. I’m a socialist and community organizer, I’m staunchly anti-capitalist and LOUD about injustice. I believe that all of our struggles are interconnected, and I know that Palestine will free us all.
I’m autistic, and didn’t find out till my late 30s! The world has since opened up for me, and I’ve learned to love myself more deeply because of it. I love helping clients through this process, which involves unlearning ableism, tapping into repressed strengths and unmasking.
I desire revolution both politically and internally for me and all citizens of the world. I love the outdoors, resting, being curious and watching shows.
That’s me! I am certainly not for everyone, which is good. Because humans are complex and beautiful.
But if you’ve read this far, maybe I am the therapist you’ve been looking for.
My specialty: professional millennials + Gen Z.
I specialize in treating millennials & Gen Zs from working class backgrounds. As someone who grew up in a working class family, I understand what it is like to feel that your hopes and dreams are muted by inaccessibility.
It can be a struggle to imagine yourself in a professional role, and oftentimes when you arrive there, the residual feelings can bring about issues with confidence and motivation. Does this sound like you? I can help with that!
In session, you will learn ways to trust your instincts, trust your education, and use your background to empower you.
A lot of millennials and Gen Zs have internalized capitalism, which is when your self-worth is directly connected to your productivity. If this is true for you, it is not your fault.
Our culture is obsessed with productivity, consumerism and making the wealthy more wealthy, resulting in workers (like me + you) feeling like they are never doing enough. This is an effect of the political and economic system we live in, known as capitalism.
My clients are taught how to value their time, have healthy expectations for themselves + practice self-compassion while still enjoying their work.
I serve Pennsylvania & Florida residents under my license. Not in PA or FL? That’s ok! I also offer therapeutic coaching for folks across the US, and internationally!
Business Coach for Therapists.
I provide business coaching for therapists across the globe! I help what are known as “Exploited Therapists” or therapists whose labor and time has been exploited by wealth hoarding bosses and supervisors.
I coach therapists through the journey of building their own liberation oriented therapy practices.
I love helping therapists heal from the exploitative systems they have worked in, whether is be hospitals, private practices or agencies.
We are a field of helpers and healers.
We work emotionally laborious jobs. The world teaches us that while being healers, we also need to suffer financially throughout our career.
I do not accept that.
When you work with me, you will learn how to build a thriving private practice that reflects you altruistic values, allows you to actually save for your future, and gives you more time in your day.
I coach clients in the US & abroad.

“Working with Sarah was a breath of fresh air. I feel like she really understood where I was coming from. She helped guide me to make changes to my website and directory listings, and overall I felt so supported and seen by a fellow liberation-oriented therapist. It’s been 6 months since I opened my practice and I have a full caseload. Thank you, Sarah!!”
“Sarah has been an invaluable resource during the first year of setting up my private practice. She strives to create an anti-oppressive space and allows me to view how my practice fits into the larger world.”
“Sarah helped me to think differently about my niche and website. I have received so many client phone calls after changing my website based on Sarah’s ideas.”
“Sarah is intelligent, empathetic and insightful. Her demeanor is calm and professional and her feedback well reasoned and sensitive. She really helped me put things in perspective and prioritize the impact of self advocacy. I would highly recommend Sarah!”
