A Highly Trained, Diverse Team of Therapists
Our team includes licensed psychologists (PhD and PsyD), licensed mental health counselors (LMHC), registered mental health counselor interns (RMHCI), and marriage and family therapists. Each therapist was hand-selected for their expertise, warmth, and commitment to evidence-based care. Founder Dr. Jennifer Martin is a licensed clinical psychologist, a Certified Group Psychotherapist, and a former Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Florida, and she leads a team that meets regularly to collaborate on client care and best practices. You can meet the Sage Wellness team and compare each therapist’s specialties, pricing, and accepted insurance.
We Prioritize the Therapist-Client Match
Research consistently shows that the relationship between you and your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of success in therapy. That is why we take the time to match you with a counselor whose experience, treatment style, availability, and insurance fit your needs. Prospective clients are invited to schedule a free 10-minute phone consultation, and if you ever feel another therapist would be a better fit, we will help you transition.
