Beyond the 50-Minute Hour: The Blue Sage Ecosystem

 

As a Charlotte native, I know the "Queen City Hustle."  We are a city of high-achievers, founders, and professionals who are outwardly crushing it but internally running on fumes.

In a world that prizes "busy," your nervous system often pays the price.

Traditional therapy - meeting once a week to "vent" about your stress - is a band-aid.  At Blue Sage, we don't just manage your symptoms; we rewire the systems beneath them.  

To do that, we've moved away from the "pay-per-session" trap and into a Comprehensive Monthly Care Model.

The Monthly Care Plan: Your 360° Support Container

Investment: $450/month | Commitment: 6 Months

We don't just work with your mind; we work with your biology.

 

Neuro-somatic change requires consistency, which is why our plan is designed to support you 24/7, not just when you’re sitting across from me.

Precision Individual Care: Up to (2) dedicated 1:1 sessions per month. These are our "strategy meetings" where we do the deep, clinical work of processing trauma and regulating your Vagus nerve.

The Integrative Support Group (Beta Access): High-achievers often feel like they’re on an island. Our bi-weekly groups provide the "in-between" connection and peer perspective that keeps your momentum high between private sessions.

The Somatic Resource Vault: 24/7 access to our curated digital library of meditations, breathwork sequences, and nervous-system tools. Think of this as your "pocket therapist" for when stress hits at 2:00 PM on a Tuesday.

The Commitment to Success: We work in 6-month containers because that is the biological "sweet spot" for lasting neuroplasticity. We aren’t looking for a quick fix; we’re looking for a new "normal."

Your 6-Month Roadmap to Resilience

Phase 1: Foundations & Grounding (Months 1–2)

We identify your survival patterns (Fight/Flight/Freeze) and give you immediate tools to lower your baseline anxiety.

 

Phase 2: Integration & Regulation (Months 3–4)

As your system feels safer, we go deeper. We address attachment wounds and professional self-sabotage, expanding your "window of tolerance."

Phase 3: Transformation & Resilience (Months 5–6)

We solidify your new patterns. You move from "coping" with your life to leading it with a regulated, resilient nervous system.

Why 6 months?

 

Some of the most common issues I have seen over the past 20 years is how confused clients feel about:

 

  • How often should come to therapy in order for it to be effective?

  • How can I best utilize my session time (reporting and venting versus focusing on solutions)?

  • What should I be working on in-between sessions?

  • When is the work is done?

Because our Monthly Care Plan is based on outcomes not attendance it is intentionally designed to move you from 'reporting' on the past to 'resolving' for the future.

 

By prioritizing a bi-weekly rhythm, we ensure that our sessions aren't spent simply catching up on a month’s worth of stressors, but instead dive deep into the high-impact work that creates lasting transformation.

 

This consistent momentum prevents the 'mental bottleneck' of carrying a month of updates alone and allows our insights to build upon each other in real-time.

 

It is a structure built for those who value depth and efficiency, ensuring every minute of our time together is focused on your progress rather than just your history.

30 Day Risk-Free Trial

To ensure you feel complete confidence in your investment, I offer a 30-Day Risk-Free Trial of the Blue Sage Monthly Care Plan.

 

I believe in providing tangible proof of value before you enter into our 6-month clinical commitment.

 

During this one-month immersion, you will gain unlimited access to our Somatic Resource Vault, join our Integrative Support Group (Beta) for "in-between" session support, and complete an initial Clinical Roadmap session to map your nervous system foundations.

 

It is an invitation to experience the ROI of a regulated nervous system and test our high-touch support system firsthand—with no further obligation if you decide we aren’t the right fit for your journey.

Why This Works for the High-Achiever

No "Late-Cancel" Friction: We know your schedule is volatile. Because you are invested in a monthly container, we don’t nickel-and-diming you for life’s interruptions. Your access to the Group and Library remains constant.

Results Over Venting: We use Brainspotting and Somatic Integration to get to the root cause. If you want to just talk, call a friend. If you want to change your biology, work with us.

Proactive, Not Reactive: Most people go to therapy when they’re in crisis. We provide an ecosystem that keeps you regulated so the crises don’t happen in the first place.
