Justin Sheets is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) who provides quality, individualized, and flexible therapy to clients in order to address the emotional issues that are interfering with their lives. SageMind Counseling is a concierge practice that serves a limited number of clients at a time, resulting in a more personalized experience that isn't dependent upon on an insurance diagnosis code in order to authorize treatment, and that is free of arbitrary limits on how many sessions are necessary for you to reach your therapeutic goals.

My focus is to get people back to living more fully, resolving trauma, abuse or whatever crises may have led to the important decision to pursue professional therapy. I have worked diligently in 25+ years of psychotherapy practice learning how to foster an effective healing process. In my experience, clients have found therapy to be an extremely important venture, uniquely personal and insightful, yet can feel uniquely vulnerable. Good therapy is built on a balance of challenge and support, developed in collaboration that fits each client, that leads to [re]discovery of potentials for better, more satisfying living.

With every click of your mouse or touch of your screen you are exploring your options and making decisions about who might be the best choice of therapist for you. There are a lot of therapists listed on websites and it may be difficult to decide... Who will best understand my situation? Who will connect with me and assist me in feeling safe enough to talk about the important stuff? Who has the most helpful strategies and best experience? How can I begin to feel more hopeful and take better care of myself?

Are you suffering from the effects of PTSD, anxiety, depression, sudden loss, and/or chronic pain? If so body-oriented psychotherapy may help facilitate your recovery. By working to address the root causes of nervous system imbalance, a body-psychotherapy approach can empower you with tools and skills to re-negotiate and resolve difficult and traumatic experiences. My approach in therapy is client-centered and my work is just to facilitate and provide the optimal conditions for healing to take place. I also hope to impart knowledge and skills for people to work with themselves effectively outside of therapy.

I value helping individuals improve their quality of life by understanding their past and present experiences. My therapy style incorporates direct questions, thoughtful feedback, and interactive exercises to enhance awareness and facilitate growth. I frequently guide individuals to meaningfully discuss their thoughts and feelings. The goal is to restore well-being through a renewed sense of self, purpose in life, and relationship potentials.

I'm here to help you grow and change on your passage through life! Sometimes people have challenges to start with like thinking differently, or a difficult family. We may have questions about whether we still fit into a social or religious group. Challenges are harder if depression or anxiety hold us back or if we feel like we're stuck. Finding an empathetic, experienced therapist can be a connection to taking you out of isolation and uncovering your innate ability to change. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have done my own work to grow and I look forward to helping you!

I work with children, adolescents and adults struggling with various challenges including anxiety, depression, anger management, ADHD, grief, self-confidence, trauma and addictions in a variety of settings.

Relationship is therapy. Most important aspect of healing is the degree of safety the client experiences with you. Safety is how well connected they are with you. You strive to understand the person to help them understand themselves. Holding space unconditionally, without judgement. My aim is to provide that for my clients. My areas of specialty are trauma, relationship issues, identity issues/self worth, transitions/stressors and distorted thinking patterns.

Stuck? Frustrated or overwhelmed? You want to do better at work or school. Maybe relationships are strained. You know you’d like something to change. Everyone else seems to have their life together. Come as you are to counseling. There is nothing you have to do, or be, in order to feel better. Together, we’ll discover what would be a rich and meaningful life for you, and how to get there. I work frequently with clients wanting to discover whole mind and body connection. During our initial consultation we'll discover if I'm the best fit for your needs, and if not, help you find the right one. Let's chat.
