    Is this the same as Sage and Saddle’s holistic services?

    No. Clinical Therapy is licensed psychotherapy provided through Sage and Saddle Counseling, PLLC and can be billed to insurance. Acudetox, life coaching, sound baths, and animal-assisted activities are separate, non-clinical services offered through Sage and Saddle, LLC. See our Services page for details.

    Is the website contact option appropriate for emergencies?

    No. The website and booking system are not emergency services. Call 911 or call or text 988 during a mental health emergency.
