I am also skilled at building an alliance with children and adolescents to help them develop the confidence, awareness and skills needed to improve their relationships, sense of themselves and school performance.
I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we can explore the issues that are concerning you and the things you would like to change in your life. Through therapy we can identify and remove old beliefs, patterns and fears that get in the way of fully enjoying life. We can work in a variety of ways, from very deep work that aims to heal childhood trauma, to cognitive-behavioral techniques which address specific, practical problems.
My approach is relaxed, supportive, holistic, empowering and nonjudgmental. I work with a range of issues: addictions, depression, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties and trauma.

Give me a call to help your child stay on the path to success.
I'm Ed Sage, an expert in adolescent/young adult behaviors with over 25 years of experience. I provide assessments for teens to help identify mental health challenges. Parents often ask "when is a behavior actually a problem and when do I need to get help?" I can help resolve fighting at home, social issues, defiance, and addictions to: porn, video games, alcohol and substances, and technology. I treat depression, anxiety, and any other underlying problems that get in the way of your child's success in life.

Parenting doesn't come with an instruction manual. Certainly if your child struggles emotionally, socially or academically, parenting can be even more challenging. You might be thinking your child will not be able to go away to college or live independently. Your worry and heartache may be affecting your relationship with your spouse, your bond with your children and your enjoyment of your life. I have spent the last 20 years helping parents like you to understand your child, to have a closer relationship with your spouse and children, and to alleviate your worries and pain.

I have a doctorate in child and adolescent psychology and postdoctoral training in adult psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
When I work with adults, couples, families or children I believe taking a collaborative and introspective approach to treatment helps patients access their own wisdom and healing potential. We can often become disillusioned with ourselves or others as a result of deep pain, wounds, and burdens that we carry with us on a daily basis. For many of us, turning away or avoiding these difficulties is a natural reaction and attempt to cope with these struggles. Despite the temporary relief that may accompany this style of coping it often maintains extreme beliefs, negative feelings, and unproductive behaviors.

With over 20 years experience, I have developed a level of insight that is critical in helping your child work through his/her issues. I seek to help you and/or your child live in the present instead of dwelling on the past and/or worrying about the future. I am an interactive participant with you and/or your child in the growth process. At our first meeting I want you to know coming to talk to me does not mean you are "crazy" or "weird." Instead you are brave and smart to face your issues and get help for them.

I have done hundreds of evaluations of children struggling with life and/or learning.
Coping skills are important, and I will certainly help you with those. But you want to really live your life, not just get through it. Merely coping is not enough, you want to thrive! That's my working assumption. If you don't think that's possible, that's where our work begins, to figure out how you can regain hope, and the belief that vitality is your birthright. Clearing space for creativity is an important part of the process. Don't have a creative bone in your body, you say? I say you're wrong. Let's talk.

We always believe in taking a collaborative and introspective approach when working with adults, couples, families, or children. We believe this kind of approach to treatment helps patients have a deeper sense of their own wisdom and healing potential. Because of deep emotional pain, wounds, and burdens that we each carry on a daily basis, we can often become disillusioned with ourselves or others. For most of us, our natural way of coping with these struggles is by avoiding or turning away from it. But despite the temporary relief it brings, this style of coping often maintains extreme beliefs, negative feelings, and unproductive behaviors.

Throughout my work with children I am guided by a basic philosophy: Every child has unique and important strengths.
My private practice is dedicated to working with children and adolescents, helping them learn how to express their emotions and gain control over their behaviors. I use principals of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and psyco-dynamic relations to teach young people to overcome difficulties from anxiety, depression, and other issues. For children dealing with pressures such as divorce, friendship difficulties and academic stress I offer a safe environment for them to give voice to their concerns and develop a problem solving plan. During the entire process I provide critical parental feedback.
