Therapist

I enjoy working with people who are interested in returning to the truth of who they are. I value people. Intuition is often within my work with people. I am honored to walk with people in their orientation to healing and health in the ways important to them. Harmony in mind, body, and spirit.

A holistic trauma informed approach with a culturally grounded orientation to care is my offering. I love to incorporate breath work and somatic work in with talk therapy all while centering values.

I respect the courage of getting to this point. It’s reasonable that we all would benefit from support so I am happy to walk you home to you, the truth of you that deserves liberation, healing and health because your life has value and I’m so glad you’re here. You deserve it all.

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.

Let’s take the journey together — to heal, to grow, and to put you back at the center of your life.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Independence

Finding therapists in Independence starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with concerns like yours. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a smaller city like Independence, local in-person openings may be more limited than in nearby Cleveland, Brecksville, or Seven Hills. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping access to Ohio-licensed therapists who fit your schedule. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Independence can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can browse therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you find a fit.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
