Dr. Sara Snyder is a clinical psychologist who specializes in trauma recovery, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and the mental health needs of displaced and marginalized populations. She is authorized to provide telepsychology across all PSYPACT states.
In her private practice, she provides individual and group therapy. Whether clients are coping with recent traumatic events, ongoing systemic harm, or long-standing emotional patterns, she meets clients where they are—without judgment. Her style is warm and collaborative, bringing curiosity, flexibility, and cultural awareness to every session. Guided by the belief that clients are the experts of their own experiences, Dr. Snyder’s approach supports both structured skill-building and depth-oriented insight for growth in the immediate and long-term. She provides a space for clients to process trauma, reclaim their agency, and move toward a meaningful recovery.
Dr. Snyder is dually trained in psychodynamic care and evidence-based trauma modalities, including: Prolonged Exposure (PE), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT and DBT-PE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Herman’s Three-Stage Recovery Model.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Snyder is an active researcher, supervisor, and consultant. She is the Director of Research and Development for the Cambridge Health Alliance Asylum Program and an Instructor at Harvard Medical School.
She completed postdoctoral clinical training at Cambridge Health Alliance in the Victims of Violence Program and her postdoctoral research training at Massachusetts General Hospital – both Harvard affiliates.
