Sarah Buino
Sarah Buino, LCSW, CADC, CDWF is the founder of Head/Heart Therapy, Inc. She is a licensed clinical social worker, certified addictions counselor and a Certified Daring Way™ facilitator. She holds a masters degree from Loyola University in Chicago and specializes in shame, substance abuse and mood/anxiety disorders.
Sarah has served as a therapist at Presence Behavioral Health's Addicted Professionals Program, working with attorneys, executives, nurses, and physicians struggling with substance use disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and trauma.
Before Presence, Sarah performed clinical work with adolescents and their families at Alternatives, Inc., a community mental health agency in Chicago that’s widely recognized for its youth-driven programming. There, she tapped her skills as a musician to develop musical intervention groups for substance abusing youth. She later shared her musical intervention work at the International Association for Social Work with Groups conference in 2010, the National Association of Social Workers Illinois Conference in 2011 and was published in the journal Social Work with Groups in 2010.
In the fall of 2014, Sarah was asked to be a liaison for Loyola University's School of Social Work. She currently works with students chosen to receive the Interprofessional Practice with At-Risk Youth Training Project (IPRY) grant. Sarah oversees student-fieldwork relations and supports both parties in creating a challenging and rewarding training experience. She is passionate about mentoring and helping new clinicians successfully bridge the gap between academia and clinical practice.
Sarah became part of Loyola University's School of Social Work adjunct faculty in the fall of 2015. She currently teaches Introduction to Alcohol and Other Drug Disorders to master's level students. She is committed to relating the pharmacology and science of addiction in a relatable way to foster passion for chemical dependency work.
Sarah has always valued authenticity as a critical component of whole-hearted living. Since hearing Dr. Brené Brown speak in the winter of 2009, she has been sharing the concepts of shame-resiliency, authenticity and vulnerability with her clients. She has completed training with Brené Brown's team and is a Certified Daring WayTM facilitator (CDWF). The Daring WayTM is a highly experiential methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. The method was developed to help men, women, and adolescents learn how to show up, be seen and live braver lives. The primary focus is on developing shame resilience skills and developing a courage practice that transforms the way we live, love, parent, and lead. It can be facilitated in clinical, educational, and professional settings and is suitable for work with individuals, couples, families, work teams, and organizational leaders.
Sarah is also knowledgeable about the benefits of various alternative and complementary techniques for wellbeing, and is a certified Reiki Master. Reiki is a form of energy healing that encourages the release of oxytocin to reduce pain and increase the body’s ability to repair itself mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
In her spare time, Sarah is a musician and sings in a variety of musical groups around the city of Chicago. She loves fitness: yoga, weight lifting, and just about anything that gets her off the couch. She also loves tattoos and changing her hair cut and color often.
