Holistic Mental Health for Our Queer Community
My name is Sage Nestler, MSW
I am Founder & CEO of Releasing the Phoenix, as well as an LGBTQ+ mental health specialist, consultant, and educator.
But I am also a disabled, queer creative and writer living with multiple mental illnesses.
Pairing lived with professional experience guides my work. I will never pretend that I know more about your experiences than you do.
I’m just here to walk beside you on your journey
