I’m Julia Sage (she/her), the owner of Sage Heart Psychotherapy.  I am a registered social worker and psychotherapist based in the Ottawa-Gatineau region. I have over 15 years experience supporting folks with their mental health and have been honing my skills in psychotherapy to be able to provide the best possible care.
​
From a young age I knew I wanted to be a professional helper.  My family fostered in me values of mutual care, community & respect.  Since I was a child I have enjoyed hearing other people's stories particularly those of overcoming hardship - that showed me the awesome resilience of the human spirit.  This fascination has never faded and continues to be at the heart of the work that I do.  

My aim is to make the process of therapy as painless as possible for the people with whom I work—I strive to connect with my clients on a deeply human level & often bring a sense of humour to my sessions.  I recognize it often isn’t easy to get help & I see my role as easing this process as much as possible for those I serve.  

I look forward to meeting you, to learn your story and to help you navigate the often joyous yet challenging, sometimes painful & messy journey of life.  My hope is that I can help you to access your inner strength, connect with supports that sustain you and ultimately find tools that help you live the life you desire.

Warmly,
Julia
