Hi! I’m Stephanie Wise and I’m the therapist behind Sage & Vine Counseling. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist based in California. My area of focus is with relationships, from building skills to find better relationships (social skills, confidence, etc) to working to reconnect with long-term partners that you have committed to building a life with. Previous clients have described me as warm yet direct; I believe in modeling the clear communication that I feel is beneficial in all relationships.

I believe that building stronger relationships within families leads to stronger individuals and more resilient communities. I’m drawn to this work because I believe that the powers of empathy and strong communication start at home and lead to a better world for all of us. I’ve been working in mental health for over 10 years and have been a therapist for the past 5 years.

Some random fun facts about me: I was born and raised on a farm in Canada. I’m an avid reader and writer of poems. I am married to a man who loves plants and I am the mother of a sassy little girl whose fav foods are blueberries and croissants. I don’t like hikes that aren’t loop trails. I work virtually because as of December 2024, I live on Kauai where my sister’s family lives and where my husband grew up. I only ever buy fake plants for my house (why make life more stressful with real plants?) and the best part of my day is usually my morning or evening walk with my husband and daughter.
