Sage Wellness

Child and Teen Therapy

At Sage Wellness, we believe trust and safety are at the heart of every therapeutic relationship, especially for children and teens. Our therapists meet your child where they are, creating an affirming space for them to express themselves and grow.

We use a person-centered approach informed by evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Our work often includes collaboration with parents, guardians, and, when appropriate, teachers or pediatricians so your child receives consistent, compassionate support across all areas of life. Our goal is to help your child develop confidence, coping skills, and a stronger sense of self, while helping you feel supported and informed along the way.

When challenges affect the whole household, family therapy can strengthen communication and connection. Older teens may enjoy walk and talk therapy, which can feel less intimidating than sitting face to face. School counselors can find referral information on our resources for school counselors page.

Family Therapy

At Sage Wellness, we take a holistic approach to family counseling. Our therapists work collaboratively with your family to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs. We use evidence-based techniques that build communication skills, conflict resolution, and problem solving to promote growth and healing within your family system. Each family member has the opportunity to be heard, and together you will practice new ways of relating that carry over into daily life at home.

Family sessions are typically 45 minutes and can be extended to 60 or 90 minutes. Depending on your goals, your therapist may recommend combining family sessions with kids and teens counseling, individual therapy, or couples therapy for parents.
