Introduction to the Therapist

Where Passion & Knowledge Blend

Sage Counseling Services exists to provide women with faith-centered, clinically grounded spaces for healing, rest, and renewal. I integrate Christian faith with evidence-based care through counseling, retreats, workshops, and soul care experiences—supporting women in tending to their emotional, spiritual, and relational well-being.

This space was created for women who long to rest, be known, and gently tend to their souls. Rooted in Christian faith and grounded in ethical, trauma-informed care, Sage Counseling Services, PLLC offers spaces for healing, renewal, and connection.

Dr. Megan Laurel Collins
Owner and Therapist

I am a licensed clinical mental health professional with experience in higher education counseling, school counseling, and private practice counseling. I hold a doctorate in Community Care and Counseling and have dedicated my career to ethical, trauma-informed practice rooted in service, faith, and community.

Sage Counseling Services and The Upper Room Collective were created in response to a calling to provide women with faith-centered, clinically grounded spaces for healing, rest, and renewal. My work is grounded in professionalism, integrity, and a deep respect for each client’s story.My approach to therapy is relational, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I integrate evidence-based clinical practices with Christian faith when aligned with the client’s values, while always honoring ethical and cultural considerations. I focus on whole-person care, attending to emotional, relational, spiritual, and community influences on well-being. Therapy is a space for both gentle restoration and meaningful growth.

The first session is a welcoming, unhurried space focused on building safety and trust. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any relevant background at a pace that feels comfortable. You can expect a nonjudgmental environment where your experiences are respected and your strengths are acknowledged. Together, we will begin identifying next steps that support healing, clarity, and rest.

I’m based in North Carolina currently working remotely with clients on nights and weekends.
