Sage Speaks

welcome to Sage Center Speaks

1/11/2021

 
Hello,

Welcome to the Sage Center Blog: Sage Speaks! We are so happy you found us! 

This blog is meant to be a meaningful place where the reader can find information about: Sage Center and our team members, therapy services, therapy techniques, mental health, and information about upcoming events. We may sometimes list resources, ideas, and coping techniques that are meant for those who are working with a therapist or a treatment team. Every person is different and every therapist is different, there is not a one size fits all and the information on this blog will also vary. 

This blog does not take the place of therapy and we ask that if you or someone you know is seeking therapeutic services from Sage Center, please reachout to us via our contact page. If you are not currently looking for treatment but enjoy reading our posts, please stick around and know that if the time ever comes where you want or need support from one of our therapists, our door will be open to you.

Now that all of that you have gotten to know a little bit about what this blog is about, we want to take a moment to introduce Sage Center.

About Sage Center

Several years ago, the seeds of Sage Center were planted when Angela and Pegge began a lighthearted conversation about each of their dreams of creating the ideal counseling center. The more they talked, the more they realized a shared vision: to create a safe space in which to support clients in facing challenges and overcoming obstacles; a place where those seeking help could find hope and strength in order to become who they wished or never knew they could be; a place where seasoned counselors not only provide support for clients but also create a nurturing environment in which to guide and mentor beginning counselors; a place where all types of helping professionals thrive together in a spirit of collaboration, sharing the techniques and philosophies of their disciplines toward a common goal of helping others; a place where the values and standards of the counseling profession are embraced and the process of assisting others on their journeys is honored with integrity.
​

Over the years the dialogue about their hopes and dreams continued, creating the conditions ripe for change, until one pivotal conversation, when Angela looked at Pegge and said, "Why 'one day'...why not now?" The energy in the room became intense, full...alive! At that moment, they both realized that the seed had sprouted. From that day forward, Sage Center was no longer a dream but a reality in the making.

The founders of Sage Center created the the following mission statement and all therapists on our team stand by their words. Sage Center promotes comprehensive wellness in the community by providing quality support services through counseling, consultation, education, and mentorship to individuals, professionals and organizations. Sage Center is committed to serving with integrity, compassion and respect in a balanced and collaborative environment.

About Our Team

Sage Center has grown significantly since Pegge and Angela began their journey. Sage Center currently has ten therapists and a chiropractor as a part of our team. Each therapist comes with their own set of skills, experiences, and knowledge that provides our clients with care and confidence that their therapist will do their best while walking along side you on your journey in therapy. For more information about our team members, click here.

Each month a different Sage Center therapist will be highlighted in our blog so that you can have a better idea of who each team member is and how they work. We are excited to introduce our first therapist later this week!
