Our story

A place where care can take root.

Alder + Sage Collective is a counseling and healing space built around the belief that meaningful care is personal, creative, and stronger when it is held in community.

Why Alder + Sage

A name for how we hope care feels.

Our name carries the kind of space we are growing: grounded, wise, alive, and made for becoming.

Alder

Alder trees enrich the soil around them, making conditions for other life to grow. They remind us that healing does not have to happen alone; the right support can create room for possibility.

Sage

Sage speaks to wisdom, healing, and clearing what no longer serves. It is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and move forward with greater clarity.

Our philosophy

Rooted together. Growing together.

We believe counseling is not about fixing who you are. It is a space to make sense of your story, strengthen your relationships, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may need care. Our work honors the realities you carry while making room for imagination, agency, and change.

Care with room to breathe

We meet people with curiosity rather than judgment, creating a pace that feels human and responsive.

Whole-person healing

We welcome conversation, creativity, play, body awareness, and practical support as meaningful paths into healing.

Connection is part of the work

Alongside individual care, we make space for groups, workshops, and community offerings that help people feel less alone.

More than a therapy office

A collective approach to healing.

Alder + Sage is shaped as a collective because people are not meant to carry everything in isolation. We are building a warm, welcoming place for counseling, creative healing spaces, shared learning, and free community gatherings rooted in music and the arts.

Whether you arrive for individual therapy, family support, a workshop, or simply a first conversation, you are welcome here.
