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.

Her approach is collaborative, systemic, and strengths-based, grounded in a genuine 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 in couples therapy through The Gottman Institute, and is currently completing training in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy with Numinus and somatic trauma therapy with the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute.

Born in Bogotá, Colombia, and raised in Miami, Sarita now calls New York City home. Her multicultural background deepens her understanding of family dynamics and the ways culture shapes our relationships. She offers therapy in English and Spanish.
