Sarah Gundle
As a psychologist, Sarah Gundle uses poetry and writing prompts with her patients because she's found that written words can often access what spoken ones cannot.
Sarah has a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a master’s degree in International Affairs from Columbia University. In addition to her private practice, she teaches courses on trauma and international mental health at Mount Sinai. She is also a member of Physicians for Human Rights and works in their Asylum network, where she evaluates the mental health of persecution survivors seeking asylum.
Sarah recommends Girl Determined.
