I believe counseling is essentially a relationship, designed purposefully with specific boundaries to provide a safe “container” for the work, that allows you to address specific issues and to grow into becoming more fully yourself.
I offer online and in-person sessions (at my office in Granger, IN)
Licensed counselor in Indiana, Michigan and Illinois
My Specialties
No counselor can be everything to everyone. If I don’t feel I have the expertise or am the right person for your needs, I will let you know and will provide referrals. If we are a good fit, here are some mental health and life issues in which I offer special expertise:
LGBTQIA+ concerns, relationship issues, identity issues, and transitioning
Trauma related issues
Depression
Anxiety
ADHD/Autism
Personal or spiritual identity questions and development ( Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Native American and other earth-based traditions, spiritual seekers, and agnostics/atheists)
Life transitions
Grief work
Communication issues and becoming more assertive
Relationship issues – couples, parenting, family
School and learning-related issues
Career issues and concerns
Key Practice Information
Initial contact with me is by phone: 574-214-4912 or by the web form in "Contact". If we agree to meet, I'll send you intake forms to complete via a secure email link.
I offer 15-minute free phone or video consults to see if we might be a good fit.
I have online sessions (doxy.me/sarasage) on Monday-Wednesday -Thursday and in-person sessions on Tuesdays
If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, I will charge the full session fee, since this doesn't allow time for another client to take the appointment.
$120 for 55-minute sessions
I am not in-network with any insurance. This helps protect your privacy (no formal diagnosis required) and allows for more flexibility. If you wish, I will provide Superbills for you to submit for any out-of-network therapy benefits you may have.
Although I do not offer a sliding scale, I keep a limited number of slots in my schedule for low-income clients. If I have a slot available, you and I will negotiate a fee.
I use Square for payments and wlil ask to keep a payment card on file to charge for sessions.
