Denise Sager

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.

Therapist

I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re not quite sure where to begin or how to put what you’re feeling into words. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are and feel comfortable being yourself.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the general feeling of being stuck or overwhelmed. I especially enjoy working with young adults who are trying to figure out who they are, what they want, and how to navigate all the changes that come with adulthood.
