About Us

Meet Sara Goldsmith, LCSW

Hi, I’m Sara Goldsmith, a licensed clinical social worker with a lifelong passion for helping young people succeed. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a special education teacher, gaining firsthand experience in supporting children with diverse needs.

I’ve been riding horses since the age of six and competed throughout my teenage years, so I understand the unique pressures of equestrian sports. My background allows me to connect deeply with young equestrians, helping them manage pre-competition anxiety, set achievable goals, and develop coping skills that translate beyond the arena.
