Ciana Sage

Ciana Sage

Therapist

Virtual • California


Starting therapy can feel daunting because sometimes it’s not one big problem; it’s everything all at once. The overthinking, the pressure, and relationships that feel stressful or draining are taking a toll on you. As an LCSW, I help youth, teens and young adults address anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationships and self-doubt in a way that feels real and doable. Therapy with me is collaborative, down-to-earth, and focused on what actually helps.

I graduated with distinction from California State University, Northridge with a Master's Degree in Social Work and Bachelor's Degree in Sociology. I've spent years working with youth, families, and adults, including those in foster care or have had DCFS involvement. This has helped me gain insight into how complex family and relationship dynamics can affect a person.

Hello! My name is Danielle, and I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 10 years. Too often, we can become overwhelmed by the pressures of life, and that is where therapy can help. It may be time to prioritize your own mental health, and coming here is an important first step. I’m proud of you for taking it.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, relationship challenges, PTSD, stress, grief and loss, ADHD, anger, substance use, and major life transitions. My focus in treatment is helping you feel supported while we better understand what you are carrying and what you hope will change. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself, your relationship, or your family, I look forward to meeting you and helping you move toward healing and growth.
