Our Team

Sara Trosty Walsh, LCSW, is the Founder and Clinical Director of Wellness Counseling Group, a Florida-based psychotherapy practice specializing in oncology mental health, chronic illness, grief and loss, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She earned her Master of Social Work degree from the University of Pennsylvania and has more than 30 years of clinical experience helping individuals and families navigate some of life's most difficult challenges.

Sara's commitment to this work is both professional and personal. As a two-time cancer survivor, she understands firsthand the emotional impact of diagnosis, treatment, uncertainty, caregiving, and survivorship. Her lived experience, combined with decades of clinical practice, allows her to support clients with deep empathy, insight, and understanding.

Prior to founding Wellness Counseling Group, Sara served as Florida Program Coordinator for Sharsheret, a national nonprofit organization supporting women and families facing breast and ovarian cancer. In that role, she provided education, outreach, and community engagement throughout the state while helping to raise awareness about the psychosocial impact of cancer and hereditary cancer risk.

Today, Sara specializes in working with cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and individuals facing chronic illness, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. She is passionate about helping clients move from surviving to thriving while rebuilding a sense of meaning, purpose, and connection.

In addition to her clinical work, Sara provides educational presentations, professional trainings, support groups, and community programs focused on the emotional realities of cancer, survivorship, caregiver burnout, grief, resilience, and adjustment to illness. She collaborates with hospitals, healthcare professionals, nonprofit organizations, and community partners to increase awareness of the critical role mental health plays in comprehensive cancer care.
