Growing up empathic with a strong sense of obligation, Sage Acharya's understanding of herself crumbled when she immigrated to the United States from London, England. With awareness and a great compassion towards herself and others, Sage talks about how her own childhood informs the conscious parenting of her American children and her relationships with her husband and parents. Her experience of awakening to codependency and enmeshment has made Sage Acharya a valued therapist in her private practice where she skillfully guides her clients to hold "whatever arises".

Sage has a master’s degree in community counseling and is practicing as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois. She is certified as a Registered Dual Disorder Professional (RDDP) and certified by the Institute of Meditation and Psychotherapy to provide guidance in mindfulness techniques. Sage lives with her husband and her two children in the suburbs of Chicago. She can be reached online at her website www.becounseling.com and on Facebook.
