A Different Kind of Therapeutic Experience

Sage House was created to feel intentional — calm, private, and deeply respectful of your time and goals.

Many of our clients are accomplished, analytical, and self-aware. They have read the books, tried the strategies, and built meaningful lives — yet still find themselves navigating anxiety, relationship strain, burnout, parenting challenges, or transitions that require more than surface solutions.

Here, therapy is not reactive or rushed. It is collaborative, structured, and grounded in evidence-based care.

We believe meaningful change happens when insight and relationship meet.

At Sage House Counseling & Art Therapy, we strive for holistic wellbeing above all else. We believe everyone has the ability to be held and healed with effective, evidence-based approaches. We start by listening to what is working and what is not.  We then create a customized treatment plan unique to your needs and goals. Our team of independent contractor clinicians draw on years of experience and creative approaches that really work.  We offer traditional talk therapy as well as art therapy, play therapy, and sand tray therapy. We also offer Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Psychdynamic and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Additionally, we offer therapy services with clinicians who specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ clients, BIPOC clients as well and clients wishing to explore and incorporate faith and spirituality in therapy. We work with you to help you rediscover your innate wisdom and align from the inside out.

Psychotherapy for Individuals, Couples & Families

Evidence-Based. Relational. Thoughtfully Structured.

Our therapy services are designed for those who value both depth and direction.

We integrate approaches such as CBT, EMDR, EFT, IFS, developmental and attachment-based therapies — tailoring each treatment plan with intention and clarity. Sessions are conversational but purposeful, reflective but forward-moving.

Clients come to us for support with:

  • Anxiety and high-functioning stress

  • Trauma and unresolved past experiences

  • Relationship and marriage concerns

  • Parenting and family dynamics

  • Life transitions and professional burnout

  • Mood-related concerns

Above all, we prioritize a steady therapeutic relationship — one built on trust, discretion, and long-term continuity when appropriate.

Psychological Testing & Comprehensive Evaluations

Clear Answers. Nuanced Understanding. Practical Guidance.

In addition to therapy, Sage House offers comprehensive psychological testing for children, adolescents, and adults.

Our evaluations are thorough, data-informed, and carefully interpreted — designed not simply to provide a diagnosis, but to offer meaningful understanding.

We provide:

  • ADHD and executive functioning evaluations

  • Autism spectrum assessments

  • Psychoeducational testing

  • Mood and anxiety assessments

  • Personalized written reports with actionable recommendations

We understand that clients seeking evaluations often appreciate precision and clarity. We ensure the process is transparent, organized, and respectful — from intake through feedback.
