Therapist

Sarita is an MFT therapist at Calla Collective and Mindful Therapy Institute, dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s transitions, build deeper connections, and lead more fulfilling lives.

Sarita takes a compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based approach to therapy. She specializes in reproductive mental health, supporting clients through the emotional complexities of fertility, pregnancy, postpartum transitions, and parenthood. She is equally passionate about couples work, helping partners strengthen communication, deepen intimacy, and navigate relationship challenges with greater understanding and connection.

Her approach is integrative, systemic, and exploratory, guided by a deep curiosity about people and the experiences that shape them. Sarita helps clients connect the dots between their past experiences, relational patterns, and present challenges, creating space for greater self-awareness and meaningful change. She combines practical tools with deeper emotional exploration, recognizing that healing involves both understanding ourselves and connecting with our emotional and embodied experiences.

Sarita holds a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northwestern University and a Bachelor's degree from NYU, where she was an Honors Scholar. She has specialized training in reproductive mental health through the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and couples therapy through The Gottman Institute. She is currently completing training in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy through Numinus and somatic trauma therapy through the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute.

Born in Bogotá, Colombia, and raised in Miami, Sarita now calls New York City home. Her multicultural background informs her sensitivity to identity, belonging, and family dynamics. She offers therapy in both English and Spanish.
