About Me

Sarah Beth Alcabes, LICSW

(she/they)

I am a White, genderqueer therapist who specializes in working with queer and transgender youth and their families. I provide affirmative, respectful, and compassionate care to young people. My decade of experience working in DC public and charter schools has made me passionate about supporting not only youth and their families, but also helping adults connect with their inner-child.

I am an anti-racist, anti-zionist, Jewish leftist, and my politics inform the therapeutic care that I offer. The personal is political and therapy should reflect that. Our identities impact our daily life, as we navigate living in racialized capitalism in an increasingly hostile and scary time. I believe therapy can support clients to increase their capacity to be active participants in building a better world, through attunement to our relationship with ourselves and others.
