Individual Therapy

(Young Children, Adolescents/Teens, Adults)

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither is therapy. At Sagewood Therapy, we provide individual therapy for children, teens, and adults in a space where your lived experience is honored and your voice matters.

We take a person-centered, relational approach, which means we’ll move at your pace and focus on what feels most relevant and meaningful to you. Whether you’re facing overwhelming emotions, relationship patterns, identity exploration, or the weight of past pain, therapy can be a grounding space to reconnect with yourself.

Our work draws from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with other integrative and trauma-informed approaches. But more than anything, we focus on building a genuine connection and trust — because healing happens in relationships, not just in technique.

For young children, sessions may involve creativity, play, or movement to support emotional processing and self-regulation. Teens often use therapy to navigate transitions, build coping skills, and better understand themselves and their relationships. For adults, therapy can be a powerful tool to untangle old patterns, process grief or trauma, and move toward clarity and purpose.

No matter where you are in your journey, individual therapy can offer a space to feel, to grow, and heal.


  • Do you ever experience constant worry, restlessness, or a sense of dread that’s hard to shake off? If so, you might be experiencing anxiety. Anxiety is a common emotional response to stress, but when it becomes overwhelming or persistent, it can interfere with your daily life. Other common symptoms of anxiety include trouble sleeping, irritability, racing thoughts, tension or avoidance behaviors from the perceived fear. 

    If this sounds like what you’re experiencing, reach out today! In therapy, we can identify and practice tools to understand your anxious triggers and cope with them. Together, we can work together to reduce your anxiety.

  • Do you or your child experience persistent sadness, low energy, or a loss of interest in things you used to enjoy? Depression is more than just feeling down—it can affect how you think, feel, and function in daily life. It often makes even simple tasks feel overwhelming or pointless. Other common symptoms may look like: changes in sleep or appetite, withdrawal from friends or activities, feelings of worthlessness, or difficulty concentrating.

    What help looks like in therapy: Therapy offers a supportive space to explore the roots of depression, challenge negative thought patterns, and rebuild motivation. Techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help foster emotional healing and a renewed sense of hope.

  • Panic can involve recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and a constant fear of having another one, leading to significant distress or changes in behavior. The intense fear often includes physical symptoms like heart palpitations, sweating, and chest pain, and can sometimes lead to avoidance of situations where attacks might occur.

    At Sagewood Therapy, we can help you explore the triggers and patterns of panic to address the fear and negative thoughts surrounding panic. In therapy, you can develop coping strategies, face feared situations gradually, and work toward reducing the overall impact of panic on your life.

  • Stress is your body’s natural response to pressure and can often be triggered by challenges in work, school, health issues, or relationships. While stress can be normal, experiencing too much stress for long periods of time can lead to physical and mental health problems like headaches, struggling with sleep, or irritability.

    At Sagewood Therapy, we can help you identify your stressors and find healthier ways to cope with stress. We can also go over stress management strategies so you can build the tools you need to effectively manage your stress independently. If you feel like this is what you need, reach out today!

  • Have you ever been overwhelmed, felt uncertainty, or had emotional ups and downs during major life changes? Life transitions—like starting a new job, moving, starting college, becoming a parent, or ending a relationship—can be exciting yet stressful. Even positive changes can disrupt routines, challenge your identity, and trigger emotional strain.

    Other ways life transitions can look like are mood swings, self-doubt, feeling "stuck," or withdrawing from others. In therapy, help looks like processing your experience, strengthening your coping tools, and gaining clarity and confidence as you navigate change. Therapy offers a safe space to adjust to change at your own pace.

  • Are you feeling numb, angry, or overwhelmed after losing someone or something meaningful? Grief is a deeply personal response to loss that can affect your emotions, body, and daily functioning. It's not limited to death—grief can also arise from breakups, job loss, or other major life changes.

    Support for grief in therapy often includes creating space to express and process your grief, understanding that healing isn’t linear, and finding ways to honor your loss while moving forward. With time and guidance, therapy can help you navigate the pain and rebuild a sense of stability.

  • Low self-esteem often shows up as harsh self-judgment, difficulty accepting praise, and feeling unworthy or inadequate. It can develop over time through criticism, rejection, or unmet expectations and may quietly affect relationships, work, and personal goals. These patterns can become deeply ingrained, but they are not permanent. Signs may include perfectionism, avoidance of challenges, over-apologizing, or a constant need for validation.

    Therapy can offer a space to explore the roots of self-doubt, challenge distorted beliefs, and practice self-compassion. With support, it's possible to rebuild a more balanced and confident self-image. Reach out today if you feel like you’re ready to begin this journey!

  • Do you experience extreme mood shifts, from episodes of high energy or euphoria to deep sadness or hopelessness? Bipolar disorder is more than typical moodiness—it involves distinct periods of mania or hypomania and depression that can impact daily life, relationships, and self-esteem. Symptoms may include impulsive decisions, racing thoughts, decreased need for sleep during highs, and fatigue, withdrawal, or feelings of worthlessness during lows.

    Therapy can provide a consistent space to understand your mood cycles, strengthen coping skills, and create routines that support stability. Approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychoeducation, and mood monitoring can empower individuals to manage symptoms and maintain balance in their lives.

  • ADHD can affect focus, organization, time management, and emotional regulation, often leading to frustration or feeling overwhelmed. It may also show up as restlessness, impulsivity, forgetfulness, or trouble following through on tasks. But please remember – it’s a neurodevelopmental condition, not a character flaw, and symptoms can vary widely between individuals. Many people with ADHD struggle in structured environments or feel misunderstood in their daily lives.

    In therapy, support for ADHD includes learning strategies to manage attention and structure, processing shame or self-doubt, and building on your unique strengths. With the right tools, ADHD can be managed in ways that support both success and self-acceptance.

  • OCD is a condition marked by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) done to reduce distress. It’s not about being “neat” or “organized,” but rather about trying to relieve intense anxiety caused by persistent fears or doubts. It can also look like needing things to feel “just right,” seeking constant reassurance, or avoiding situations that trigger anxiety.  These cycles can become exhausting and interfere with daily life.

    At Sagewood Therapy, we can use techniques to help challenge the irrational thoughts behind your obsessions and develop healthier coping mechanisms. You can learn to reframe negative thinking patterns, gradually face feared situations without engaging in compulsive behaviors, and build lasting strategies for managing anxiety. With support, you can work toward breaking the cycle of OCD and regaining a sense of control in your life.

Child & Teen Therapy

(Ages 5-17)

At Sagewood Therapy we support children and teens with care that meets them where they are emotionally and developmentally. For kids therapy often includes play art or movement to help them explore and express what they’re feeling in ways that feel natural to them. These approaches can help with everything from big emotions and behavioral challenges to changes at home or struggles with peers

Therapy for teens focuses on the unique challenges that come with this stage of life. We often explore identity relationships emotional regulation and life transitions. It’s a space where teens can speak freely gain tools to cope with stress and better understand themselves without pressure or judgment

Every young person deserves support that feels safe and respectful of who they are. We work together with kids teens and their families to build trust, strengthen coping skills and help them feel more grounded and confident in their everyday lives.

  • Separation anxiety occurs when a child experiences intense fear or distress when separated from a parent or caregiver. This can show up as crying, refusal to go to school, or even physical complaints like stomachaches. While some anxiety is normal, persistent separation anxiety can interfere with daily life, making it difficult for kids to engage in activities or routines without significant distress.

    Therapy helps children manage separation anxiety by teaching coping strategies and providing gradual exposure to separation in a safe, controlled way. Techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) help kids challenge anxious thoughts and develop more confidence in handling separation. With the guidance of your therapist, kids can develop healthier coping mechanisms, gain confidence in their ability to manage distress, and improve their ability to separate without excessive fear or discomfort. Working with parents and caregivers, therapy can also help create a more supportive home environment to encourage gradual, positive change.

  • Bullying involves repeated harmful behavior, often aimed at making someone feel powerless or unwanted. It can happen in many forms: physical, verbal, or online. For kids and teens, bullying might look like being teased, excluded, or hurt by peers, and it can have a lasting emotional impact. Victims of bullying often feel anxious, isolated, or sad, and may struggle with low self-esteem or school avoidance as a result.

    Therapy provides a safe space for children and teens to process their feelings around bullying and rebuild their confidence. It can help them develop healthy coping strategies, like assertiveness skills and self-compassion, while also addressing any emotional trauma that may have resulted from bullying. Kids can work on changing negative thought patterns and learning how to respond to bullying situations in a way that protects their mental well-being. At Sagewood Therapy, we also help create a sense of empowerment, enabling children to feel more in control of their experiences and build resilience for the future.

  • School avoidance is when a child or teen consistently refuses to attend school due to anxiety, fear, or emotional distress. It can be linked to a variety of causes, such as social challenges, academic pressure, bullying, or separation anxiety. Children experiencing school avoidance may complain of physical symptoms like headaches or stomachaches, or may display emotional outbursts at the thought of going to school. This can impact their academic performance and social development over time.

    Therapy can help children and teens address the root causes of their school avoidance and develop strategies to overcome it. Gradual exposure to the school environment, with support from the therapist and family, can help reduce fear and build confidence in facing school-related challenges. We also might focus on strengthening emotional resilience, so kids can navigate difficult situations at school without feeling overwhelmed. Together, we can create a path forward where school no longer feels like an obstacle but a place where your child can grow, learn, and thrive.

  • Behavioral issues in children and teens can show up in many ways — from acting out at home or school, to struggling with impulse control, empathy, or defying authority. These behaviors can be a response to frustration, anxiety, or difficulty managing emotions. While it's common for kids to test boundaries, ongoing behavioral issues can create challenges in daily life, affecting relationships, school performance, and self-esteem.

    Therapy provides a safe space for kids and teens to explore the underlying reasons behind their behavior and develop healthier ways of responding. A therapist will work with your child to help them better understand their emotions, improve communication, and find constructive ways to manage frustration or anger. With the right support, your child can learn to build stronger relationships, follow rules more effectively, and feel more confident in their ability to handle life’s challenges. Together, we can help your child develop skills and insight they need to make  healthier choices.

  • Sibling conflict is a normal part of growing up, but when it becomes constant or escalates, it can create tension in the household. Whether it’s bickering, fighting over possessions, or feeling ignored, ongoing conflicts between siblings can affect their relationships with each other and their overall emotional well-being. If unresolved, these issues can lead to increased frustration, resentment, or a lack of communication between siblings.

    Therapy can help siblings work through their conflicts by teaching them to communicate more effectively, understand each other’s perspectives, and manage emotions in healthier ways. A therapist will guide them in building problem-solving skills and learning how to navigate disagreements respectfully. With the right support, siblings can strengthen their bond, develop mutual respect, and create a more peaceful home environment.

Couples & Family Therapy

Relationships, whether romantic or familial, require understanding, patience, and healthy communication to thrive. If you and your partner or family members are feeling disconnected or overwhelmed by conflict, therapy can offer a space to rebuild and strengthen those connections. Couples therapy helps partners improve communication, resolve long-standing issues, and create a more balanced and supportive relationship. Family therapy, on the other hand, focuses on improving dynamics, fostering better communication, and working through challenges as a team.

At Sagewood Therapy, we believe that every family and relationship is unique. We work with you to address issues like communication breakdowns, parenting challenges, or life transitions, helping you learn practical tools to connect more effectively. Whether you’re facing struggles in your relationship or family system, therapy provides a neutral, supportive environment to work through conflicts, improve understanding, and move forward together with stronger bonds.

  • Connection in a relationship goes beyond just spending time together; it’s about feeling understood, supported, and valued by your partner. It’s the emotional bond that allows you to be vulnerable, share your thoughts and feelings openly, and feel like a team. Over time, external pressures, stress, and unresolved issues can weaken this connection, leaving both partners feeling disconnected or misunderstood. A strong connection is built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect, and it's essential for a healthy, lasting relationship.

    Couples therapy can help partners rebuild and strengthen their connection by providing a space to openly discuss challenges and rediscover each other’s needs and desires. With the guidance of a therapist, couples can learn to communicate more effectively, understand each other’s emotional responses, and create a deeper sense of intimacy. Therapy offers tools for navigating conflicts constructively, improving trust, and fostering a healthier, more connected relationship. Whether you're facing long-term struggles or just want to reconnect, therapy can help you rebuild a strong emotional foundation.

  • Effective communication is the foundation of any healthy relationship, whether in a couple or within a family. It allows people to express their needs, understand each other’s feelings, and work through challenges together. When communication breaks down, it can lead to misunderstandings, conflict, and emotional distance. Strengthening communication helps build trust, reduce frustration, and foster deeper connections, making it easier to navigate both everyday situations and more complex issues.

    In couples and family therapy, we focus on improving communication by helping each person express themselves clearly and listen with empathy. A therapist can guide you in learning how to communicate without blame or defensiveness, ensuring everyone feels heard and respected. By building better communication skills, couples and families can resolve conflicts more effectively, improve relationships, and create a more supportive, harmonious environment.

  • Conflict is a natural part of any relationship, whether between partners, family members, or close friends. However, unresolved conflict can lead to resentment, misunderstandings, and emotional distance. It’s important to address conflicts in a healthy way, focusing on finding solutions rather than letting tension build. Effective conflict resolution involves understanding each other's perspectives, managing emotions, and finding compromises that strengthen relationships rather than weaken them.

    Therapy offers a safe space to explore the underlying issues causing conflict and to learn strategies for resolving disagreements constructively. We can guide you through the process of healthy communication, teaching techniques that help you de-escalate tense situations and find common ground. By working together, you can turn conflict into an opportunity for growth, improving your relationship and fostering deeper understanding and connection.

  • Infidelity can trigger intense emotions like betrayal, grief, anger, and confusion. It often shakes the foundation of trust and leaves both partners unsure of how to move forward. Whether the affair was emotional, physical, or both, the aftermath can be painful and complex, impacting communication, intimacy, and self-worth. While the path to healing is different for every couple, it is possible to work through the rupture and begin to rebuild trust and connection.

    Therapy offers a space for both partners to process the impact of infidelity in a supportive, structured environment. It can help guide difficult conversations, address the underlying dynamics that may have contributed to the rupture, and support each person in navigating their emotions. For couples who choose to work through the experience together, therapy can be a place to rebuild emotional safety, restore honesty, and create a clearer path forward—whether that means healing the relationship or finding closure.
