By May of 2013, Values Based Psychiatry was running smoothly and began to emerge as a well-known practice throughout New Jersey, serving clients in offices in Princeton and Red Bank. Although Values Based Psychiatry experienced great success on the East Coast, Sarah made a permanent decision to relocate back to the area where she grew up in the Midwest.
