About Sara

Hi, My name is Sara Dimerman, also known as HelpMeSara. I’m likely one of the only psychologists you’ll meet that has an undergraduate degree in Radio and Television. However, soon after graduating from Ryerson, I began my journey towards obtaining a Masters level degree in Assessment and Counselling from the University of Toronto.

For more than thirty years I have been counselling individual adults, teens, parents, couples and families out of my office in York Region, Ontario. In addition to seeing clients in person, I also offer telecounselling – on the phone or online. I’m registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario and also a member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals. So, my fee is covered by extended health insurance, if you have.

Have an idea for a future Experts Connect with HelpMeSara podcast? Write to info@helpmesara.com.


Over the years I have helped clients through:

  • periods of depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder
  • workplace, school and home life stressors
  • complex family and sibling relationships
  • difficult dynamics as a couple, including issues around intimacy, sexual relationships and infidelity
  • separation and divorce
  • parenting children, teens and adults
  • low self esteem and confidence concerns
  • career changes, retirement and other life transitions

Aside from my counselling practise, I am fortunately able to blend my interest in people and psychology with my passion for media and writing.

I frequently appear on radio and television and am quoted in magazines and newspapers as a parenting and relationship expert. I am also the host of the Experts Connect with HelpMeSara show, heard here and on other streaming channels. On this show, I have conversations with other experts about topics that are interesting and informative.

I write books related to issues that are often raised by my clients. My first of five books was published in 2008 and my most recent, in 2019. More information about these books and how to find them can be found on this site’s home page.

I look forward to helping you.
