Welcome to A Heart to Heal Therapeutics LLC! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Vee Monie, and I’m a dedicated mental health therapist with over a decade of experience in the field of social work and clinical care.

My journey began in 2014 working in residential treatment facilities with adolescent girls, where I created and facilitated life skills curricula focused on emotional regulation, self-worth, and healthy decision-making. Since then, I’ve provided therapy in a range of settings—including school-based mental health programs throughout Dayton, OH—supporting children, adolescents, and families with compassion and clinical expertise.

I am the founder and owner of A Heart to Heal Therapeutics LLC, a private practice offering high-quality therapeutic services to adults across Ohio through both telehealth and in-person sessions.

For clients seeking faith-based support, I also provide Christian Counseling, integrating biblical principles into therapy to support spiritual and emotional healing. This approach acknowledges the importance of aligning emotional wellness with spiritual truth, offering space to reconnect with God’s purpose and peace.

This is a space for transformation, healing, and self-discovery—and I am honored to walk beside you on your journey toward becoming the best version of yourself.

Denise Sager

Therapist

Virtual • Westerville, OH


You deserve care that honors all of who you are. I'm Denise, an LPCC in Ohio with 30 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, ADHD, chronic illness, and more. I'm affirming and welcoming to LGBTQIA+, transgender, and neurodiverse clients. I'd love to connect.

My background is in special education, which is why neurodiversity like Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and learning differences are areas where I have real depth, not just familiarity. I've spent years understanding how neurodivergent brains work - and how the mental health system often misses them. I also work with clients who've been hurt by their church, their pastor, or their faith community - what many people now call "church hurt." This is a profoundly underserved area of care, and my training at Trinity Seminary means I'm not approaching it from the outside. I understand the language, the culture, and the specific kind of grief that comes with spiritual betrayal. I treasure my global experience and look forward to working with multi-cultural people, including immigrants and refugees.
