How We Approach Treatment
Many concerns overlap. Anxiety often travels with low mood, and trauma can affect sleep, relationships, and self-worth. That is why our therapists look at the whole person rather than a single symptom. We integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, EMDR, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help you understand your patterns, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful change.
Depending on your needs, support may include individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, or group therapy. We also offer counseling for kids and teens and UF and Santa Fe College students. For clients who prefer movement and fresh air, walk and talk therapy is available at both offices.
Finding the Right Therapist for Your Needs
The right match matters. Our office team will listen to what you are experiencing and connect you with a therapist who has the expertise, approach, schedule, and insurance that fit you best. You can meet our team, learn why clients choose Sage Wellness, or read our frequently asked questions. Sessions are available in person at our 8th Ave and Haile Village offices or by telehealth for Florida residents.
If you are in crisis or worried about your safety, call 911, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call the Alachua County Crisis Center at 352-264-6789.

Our therapists use evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based therapy, motivational interviewing, EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
