Our Story

Sage Therapy was founded in October 2020 from a deep passion to create a supportive and reliable mental healthcare practice for all clients. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality therapy, regardless of their background or identity.

We offer a comprehensive range of mental health services to clients of all ages, from kids and teens to adults of all identities. Our practitioners have experience working with a wide range of mental health concerns.

Our goal is to create a place where therapists feel valued and supported, allowing them to provide the best care possible. We recognize that provider well-being is directly linked to client care.

In addition to providing quality client care, we are committed to educating the next generation of mental health practitioners. Through our internship program, training programs, and workshops we strive to provide education that is rooted in compassionate and evidence based practice. We prioritize clinician education because we believe that a solid foundation leads to the best client outcomes and empowers our clinicians to become leaders in the mental healthcare industry.

What We Aim For

At Sage Therapy, we strive to break down outdated narratives and stigmas around therapy. We believe that taking care of your mental health matters because you matter. Our mission is to provide a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone feels heard and seen.

As a practitioner and practice owner, my personal goal is to cultivate an environment where everyone feels valued and respected. I understand what it feels like to be undervalued, and I want to ensure that our clients and therapists feel heard and understood. We empower people to own their stories and use them to shape their lives and mental health journeys.
