My name is Sage Nestler, MSW

I am a queer mental health professional living with multiple physical and mental illnesses

I founded Releasing the Phoenix to provide a holistic mental health care experience for our community. This includes tools, resources, and education for professionals who serve queer folx.

I am passionate about pairing lived with professional experience.


As a leading educator on borderline personality disorder (BPD), I offer education and advocacy for highly stigmatized conditions, including continuing education for mental health professionals.
