Values Based Psychiatry first began as an aspiration that Sarah dreamed of in June of 2012; most Saturdays, she spent time developing a potential website and thinking of the core values that she wished to incorporate into her treatment approach. 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. Sarah decided to continue her work and opened Values Based Psychiatry in September 2015 in her hometown of St. Charles, Illinois to continue her mission of providing excellent patient-focused psychiatric services.
