Our Story |
Sage Center began with a conversation between two friends and colleagues about the kind of counseling center we dreamed of creating—one grounded in compassion, integrity, collaboration, and a deep respect for the courage it takes to grow and change.
In 2013, that dream became a reality. Over the years, Sage Center grew into everything we had imagined and, in many ways, even more. It became a place where clients found support, hope, and opportunities for healing; where emerging counselors gained experience, guidance, and mentorship as they developed into confident clinicians; and where experienced therapists worked alongside one another in a spirit of collaboration, learning, and shared purpose. Through our internship and associate programs, we were also able to make counseling accessible to many individuals and families in our community who might not otherwise have had access to care. We are enormously proud of what Sage Center became and of the many clients, counselors, interns, colleagues, and friends who have been part of its story. Each person has left an imprint on who we are, and we remain deeply grateful for the trust, connection, and community we built together. As is true of the work we do with our clients, growth sometimes means recognizing when it is time for something to evolve. After more than a decade of building and nurturing Sage Center as a community of helping professionals, we found ourselves entering a new season of our professional lives. We chose to transition from leading a large group practice to a more intimate private practice—one that allows us to devote our full attention to the work that has always been at the heart of why we became therapists: forming meaningful therapeutic relationships, listening deeply, and walking alongside individuals as they navigate life's challenges, healing, and growth. Today, Sage Center is the private practice home of its founders, Angela Robinson and Pegge Riley. We each work with clients through telehealth, bringing decades of clinical experience—and the wisdom gained from years of serving clients, mentoring clinicians, and cultivating a thriving counseling community—to every session. Sage Center looks different today than it did when we first planted those seeds in 2013. But the heart of what we created remains very much the same: a place grounded in compassion, authenticity, respect, and the belief that meaningful change is always possible. The next chapter of Sage Center is a simpler one, but its purpose remains unchanged: to provide a safe and welcoming space for healing, growth, and becoming more fully who you are. |
