Sage Nestler, MSW
Pronouns: They/Fae/Just Use My Name
Hi! My name is Sage and I am the Founder & CEO of Releasing the Phoenix, a holistic LGBTQ+ mental health and wellness organization. I am a leading expert on borderline personality disorder (BPD), LGBTQ+ mental health and wellness educator, and bibliotherapist. I emphasize the healing power of creativity paired with traditional therapeutic methods.
As a disabled queer creative and author, I lead with my lived experiences. Bringing authenticity to my work and using what I have been through to help others are at the center of my approach. Supplemented by my education, research, and clinical training.
My work and writing have been featured by Recovery.com, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), The Mighty, BPD Alliance, and others.
(Some features were written under my deadname, “Ashley Nestler”)
“I have been through the wringer with my mental and physical health. My mission is to ensure that no one feels hopeless or alone like I so often have.”
