Dr. Sara Feldman has been working in the area of child and family services for more than 20 years. Her clinical career began in New York City, working with behaviorally disordered children and their caregivers. That experience inspired her interest in learning more about effective approaches to working with vulnerable children and families.

During her 17 years with Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago, Dr. Feldman’s research focused largely on the implementation of clinical models and other service programs in child welfare and human service systems. That work allowed her the opportunity to study best practices in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, and behavioral disorders in children, adults, and families. She has led seminars around the country that focus on the application of an evidence-driven, methodical approach to problem-solving – not only for individuals and families, but for human service organizations as well.
