Sage Therapy Alabama

Our Specialities

Anxiety

We specialize in helping clients manage anxiety, stress, and social anxiety, characterized by intense feelings of worry or fear that interfere with daily life. Our therapists provide effective strategies to cope with and overcome these challenges.

Quarter Life

Our team is dedicated to supporting young adults facing a quarter-life crisis, which often involves feelings of anxiety and uncertainty about life's direction and purpose. We offer guidance and tools to navigate this challenging period.

Trauma & PTSD

Our highly trained therapists are experienced in helping individuals who have experienced trauma. We provide a safe space to process difficult emotions and develop coping mechanisms to manage the impact of traumatic events.

Couples & Relationships

Our couples therapy focuses on building strong communication and relationship skills. We help couples enhance intimacy, navigate life's challenges, and cope with stress, anxiety, and depression within the relationship.

Depression

We work with individuals experiencing various types and severities of depression. Our therapists offer support and tools to help you manage symptoms, find relief, and improve your overall well-being.

Life Transitions

We help clients navigate various life transitions, such as moving to a new city, adjusting to post-college life, managing relationship changes, or handling career shifts. Our therapists provide support and guidance to help you cope with the stress and challenges associated with these transitions.

Grief & Loss

We understand that grief and loss are unique experiences for each individual. Our therapists provide personalized support through individual and group therapy to help you navigate the complex emotions associated with loss.

Sex & Intimacy

Our therapists provide a sex-positive, non-judgmental space to explore sex and intimacy, which are often crucial in relationships. Through individual and couples therapy, we offer education, targeted advice, and discuss underlying patterns to help you develop a healthier and more fulfilling intimate life.

Gender Identity & Sexuality

We provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for open discussions about gender and sexuality. Our therapists offer support and guidance in navigating the challenges and distress that can arise from discrimination and prejudice.

Cultural Identity

Identity impacts how we interact and see ourselves in the world. Culture plays a huge role in this. We work with our clients to navigate generational and personal narratives and how these impact our qualities, beliefs, relationships and values.

Family Dynamics

Family therapy can help members of a family to improve relationships and address specific issues in order to communicate more effectively, listen more empathetically, and utilize better coping mechanisms to deal with challenging dynamics.

Child and Adolescent

Children growing into teens and adults commonly experience emotional upheaval and may struggle during this time period of rapid change. Therapy is a powerful tool to help find healthy coping mechanisms, improve communication skills and build confidence to navigate each new chapter in life.

Older Adults & Aging

Aging brings about unique stressors to navigate! While depression and anxiety are not normal parts of the aging process, older adults are at higher risk of developing mental health symptoms due to a variety of factors.

Anna Butler, LCSW

I work with individuals and couples striving to feel safe and heard in their relationships with themselves and with others. I enjoy holding space for clients to face difficult or painful parts of themselves, or their past, in order to discover healthy solutions based on their unique values and goals. I particularly enjoy working with LGBTQIA+, TGNC clients moving through various stages of transition and identity development, as well as first-generation Americans. I am passionate about working with clients who have experienced complex/developmental trauma within their families of origin and adults who are exploring ADHD diagnoses for the first time. I also work with folks who experience disordered eating in order to help improve their relationships with food and their bodies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is therapy right for me?

Therapy can be incredibly beneficial for anybody! There are many reasons why people choose to have therapy. Therapy is not a one size fits all process and varies person by person depending on their goals. Some may come seeking support for anxiety, depression and a range of other symptoms while others it is in a response to life changing events both expected and unexpected. Many seek services as they pursue personal exploration and growth.

How do I schedule my first appointment?

You can easily schedule your first therapy appointment by using our online scheduling portal on our website or by filling out the contact form. Our team will match you with a virtual therapist near you who specializes in your area of concern.

Which insurance plans do you accept?

We are in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Blue Choice insurance PPO plans. We are considered out of network with other insurance providers, however it is still possible to use these benefits. At the time of service, you pay the fee directly and we will provide you with a monthly "Superbill" to submit your insurance provider for reimbursement. The reimbursement is paid directly to you.

How does teletherapy work?

Teletherapy is essentially the same thing as in-person therapy but from the comfort of your own home! Through video and/or phone sessions we provide all of the same services and specialties that we would in an office. Teletherapy is also covered by insurance as it would be in an office as well!
