We know the unique challenges adults, children and teens face and the need to be held and healed with effective, evidence-based approaches. That is why we use a combination of traditional talk therapy, art therapy, play therapy and sand tray therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Our goal is to provide each adult, child, teen and family with new skills and insights, allowing for lasting change and greater wellbeing.

Therapy for Children and Teens

One in six children has a mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder with the most commonly diagnosed disorders being ADHD, anxiety and depression. As a parent, it can sometimes be hard to know what is “just part of growing up” versus when your child might actually need extra support and treatment. Learning about the warning signs in your child can be helpful in early intervention. To view the most common symptoms in children to look out for click here. For teenagers, click here.

Individual Therapy

One in five US adults experienced a mental illness in 2018. The three most common mental health disorders are anxiety, depression and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Research surveys show the average time from when symptoms first manifest to when support is sought is 11 years! For some, the delay in seeking therapy can be because it is hard to know what is “normal” vs. unhealthy and who to turn to for help. At Sage House, we work with you to understand and manage your symptoms in a safe, confidential and supportive environment. No one should suffer alone without the help that is needed.

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Did you know that people with depression have a 40% higher risk of developing cardio vascular and metabolic diseases than the general population? In fact, depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide and suicide is the 10^th leading cause of death in the United States. You don’t have to suffer alone. At Sage House, we work with you to help you rediscover your innate wisdom and align from the inside out.
