"This center has helped me learn how to grow, overcome, manage stress. I didn't have a healthy relationship with my maternal parent, and going to Sage has helped me learn how to be the kind of mother my child deserves. This place and Kristin are invaluable."
-
"Kristin is such a wonderful and kind therapist, who I’ve been seeing for a couple years now. She has helped me navigate so many overwhelming changes and times in my life. Would recommend her to anyone else who needs someone to help them discover tools to get through rough patches. Thank you Kristin!"
-
"Kristen is amazing. I have been seeing her off and on for over three years. She listens and gives the advice you need to hear, sometimes its hard and sometimes I think, wow why didn't I think of that. She isn't one to keep you coming back, if you or her, doesn't think its necessary, and I like that. She has helped our marriage and has helped me from myself :) I am so thankful that we found her and I really encourage anyone who is needing some help, advice, or is struggling in anyway to see her. She truly does help."

"This review is very important and personal to me as the people as SAGE have helped me through a very difficult time in my marriage. I had originally called with the intent to see Kristin, but, as she listened to my circumstances, she recommended Bryne. Kristin was 100% correct in matching us with him. Bryne was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with the tools we needed to help salvage our relationship. We had been fighting constantly, but are now able to talk through things and understand one another. He really saved our marriage. I believe that Kristin listened carefully to our needs and placed us with the right person. I highly recommend SAGE and trust them to choose the right staff member for out particular needs."
-
"Kristen has been a blessing for me. I recently went through a divorce and I have to say I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for her help and guidance.
She is extremely patient and understanding and her advice is extremely valuable to me.
Would recommend her to almost anyone!"
