At Sage Wellness KC, we offer individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, trauma informed therapy, attachment focused EMDR, LGBTQ+ affirming therapy, and support for identity exploration, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. We also offer affordable therapy with graduate student intern therapists under professional supervision and mentorship.

Sage Wellness KC is a private pay practice and is not currently in network with insurance companies. This allows our therapists greater flexibility in treatment planning, privacy, and individualized care without many of the limitations often required by insurance providers.

For clients who wish to seek possible out of network reimbursement, we can provide a superbill that may be submitted directly to your insurance company. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and varies depending on your specific insurance plan and benefits. We encourage clients to contact their insurance provider directly to learn more about out of network mental health coverage.

We accept multiple forms of payment for therapy services, including credit cards, debit cards, HSA cards, and FSA cards.

Trauma informed therapy recognizes the ways past experiences, relationships, and overwhelming life events can impact the nervous system, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Rather than asking “What is wrong with you?” trauma informed therapy asks “What happened to you?” and “How did you learn to survive?”

At Sage Wellness KC, therapy is approached with compassion, curiosity, safety, and respect for each person’s unique story and lived experience.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR therapy helps the brain and nervous system process painful or overwhelming experiences that may continue to affect emotions, relationships, beliefs, and daily life.

Sage Wellness KC offers attachment focused EMDR, which combines trauma healing with an understanding of attachment, emotional safety, nervous system regulation, and relational experiences.

EMDR may help with:

• Trauma and PTSD • Anxiety and panic • Childhood wounds • Relationship patterns • Negative self beliefs • Grief and loss • Emotional overwhelm

Attachment focused EMDR is a gentler and more relational approach to EMDR therapy that places strong importance on emotional safety, nervous system regulation, and the therapeutic relationship. This approach recognizes that trauma can come not only from major events but also from experiences of emotional neglect, inconsistency, shame, rejection, or relational disconnection.

At Sage Wellness KC, attachment focused EMDR is used to help clients reconnect with themselves, build internal safety, and heal painful relational wounds.

Therapy may include support for:

• Exploring identity • Coming out • Gender identity exploration • Relationship concerns • Family dynamics and acceptance • Religious trauma and identity conflict • Anxiety, shame, and self acceptance • Late in life identity discovery

We believe therapy should be a space where people can show up more fully as themselves without fear of judgment.

Clients come to therapy for many different reasons. Some people are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, grief, burnout, or life transitions. Others are seeking deeper self understanding, healing, emotional regulation, healthier relationships, or support through identity exploration.

Common areas we support include:

• Anxiety and chronic stress • Trauma and PTSD • Relationship and attachment issues • Couples therapy • Self esteem and self worth • Identity exploration • Depression • Emotional overwhelm • Family conflict • Life transitions • Nervous system regulation • Burnout and people pleasing

Therapy at Sage Wellness KC is collaborative, relational, and grounded in emotional safety. We believe healing happens within supportive and authentic connection.

Therapy is not about being judged or “fixed.” It is a space to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, process experiences, explore patterns, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with your own inner wisdom.

Each therapist brings their own personality and style while remaining committed to compassion, curiosity, respect, and trauma informed care.
