S.A.G.E. Holistic Health & Wellness Center - Santa Ana, California

I had an amazing experience at S.A.G.E. Holistic Health & Wellness Center’s Reiki 2 class! The quality of the class was outstanding—well-structured, informative, and deeply enriching. James was an excellent instructor—knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about Reiki. He created a welcoming and supportive environment that made learning both engaging and meaningful. I left feeling more confident in my practice and grateful for the experience. Highly recommend!

Love this center! I appreciate the holistic approach to therapy, acceptance of some insurance plans, and a team of therapists who truly care. I refer clients often to this center and always receive great feedback. 🙌🏼 Highly recommend.

As a therapist myself, I appreciate this center and their director's dedication and involvement in the mental health community. I appreciate Emily's willingness to connect and help others in so many ways.

I came here after looking for EMDR therapists on Psychology Today, hoping for a holistic and transformative experience. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. From the moment I arrived, I had high hopes, but it quickly became clear that this place didn't live up to its promises.
I was specifically seeking a holistic approach, which was one of the main reasons I chose this facility. However, despite the advertising, there was no mention or offering of anything remotely "holistic" - no Reiki, no alternative treatments, nothing that would make the experience feel well-rounded or integrative.
Instead, I was paired with what seemed to be the youngest and least experienced therapist in the practice. While she was polite, it was obvious that she lacked the expertise I was hoping for.
Her approach to EMDR therapy was frankly underwhelming. The session felt more like a casual conversation than a structured therapeutic experience. I went in with the expectation of receiving meaningful support, but it felt like a waste of both my time and insurance benefits. I can't help but wonder if the fact that I was using insurance as payment had anything to do with the lack of quality or attention to my needs
In the end, l left feeling frustrated and dissatisfied. I didn't receive the professional, holistic EMDR therapy I was seeking, and it was a complete waste of resources. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a genuine therapeutic experience.
I’d like to add I came here at a time when I was grieving the loss of a close loved one, and I was truly seeking support and empathy. Unfortunately, that's something I didn't find here. The whole experience felt incredibly impersonal. There was a distinct lack of compassion, and it seemed like the primary goal was just to bill my insurance and get me in and out as quickly as possible, rather than providing the care I was desperately seeking. My therapist, Sydney Valdez, may have been polite, but I didn't feel like she truly understood or connected with my situation. It felt more like a transaction than a therapeutic experience, and I left feeling even more isolated than when I came in.

SAGE offers excellent services and resources for their clients. I’ve gladly referred them clients knowing that they’ll be in good hands!

Emily Celis and her team are an incredibly valuable resource in our community. Emily has been communicative with me, flexible, responsive, and overall the services S.A.G.E. provided me and my team were stellar. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, and committed to ethical practice. I also had the opportunity to interface with one of the other therapists in her office and it is clear that the organizational culture is grounded in Emily's strengths and values. I would strongly recommend Emily and her team for anyone looking for services with a high standard of care.

Emily Celis and her team at SAGE are a wonderful asset to the community. Emily is warm, inclusive, and regularly educates other therapists and community members on mental health issues. I often refer to them and would feel 100% confident referring my closest friends and family members to Emily.

I HIGHLY reccommend working with the team at SAGE. Whether it's for a holistic event, wellness training, reiki certification - every single person on their team that I've met is so caring and welcoming.

I'm also a huge fan of my therapist Lianna - working with her has been such an amazing experience, and from our first session I always felt completely comfortable and really held and guided. Therapy is a very new space for me, and I appreciate her help to go deep into places I haven't ventured before.
