Dr. Rebecca Kason- Founder & Executive Director

Welcome to SageMind Psychology

Transforming lives through expert, compassionate, and evidence-based therapy – for children, teens, adults, and families.

I’m so glad you found your way to our page! At SageMind Psychology, I am incredibly proud to be part of a team of highly skilled, compassionate therapists. Our clinicians are extensively trained to work with clients who struggle with emotion regulation, impulsivity, and complex behavioral or relational challenges. We serve children, teens, parents, and adults, commonly addressing self-harm, suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, parent-child conflict, twice-exceptional (2E) learners, and trauma.

Our entire team is LGBTQIA+ affirming and neurodiversity-informed, ensuring that every client feels seen, validated, and supported. You can learn more about each of our therapists or schedule a complimentary consultation.

About Me

I am the founder and Executive Director of SageMind Psychology and a licensed clinical psychologist. I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from Long Island University Brooklyn and completed an APA-accredited internship at Mount Sinai Services, gaining extensive experience treating children, adolescents, adults, and families. My clinical concentrations included Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and play therapy, and my doctoral dissertation focused on the importance of family inclusion in child therapy. I had the privilege of training with one of the leading experts in DBT for adolescents, an experience that shaped my approach to both therapy and mentoring clinicians.

Beyond my clinical work, I am deeply committed to training and mentoring our team of expert clinicians. I believe the quality of care clients receive depends on the expertise, collaboration, and continuous growth of the therapists they work with. Supporting our team to thrive allows us to provide high-quality, personalized care to every client we serve.

Specializing in DBT and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I have successfully treated clients with emotion dysregulation, behavioral disorders, interpersonal difficulties, family conflict, anxiety, depression, and phobias. I am passionate about creating an inclusive, affirming space where clients feel empowered to transform patterns in their thoughts, feelings, and relationships, improving the quality of their lives.

I have delivered evidence-based interventions across schools, hospital systems, outpatient clinics, and research settings, and I bring this experience to both my clinical work and my leadership role at SageMind Psychology.
