About the Author
Dr. Sage Adessi is a licensed psychologist, certified professional coach, and integrative medicine provider in mental health whose work bridges science and spirit. For more than two decades, she has guided clients through the labyrinth of self-doubt, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion toward grounded confidence and genuine joy.
Her approach blends the precision of neuroscience with the compassion of mindfulness. Drawing on her clinical experience in psychology, trauma recovery, and mind-body integration, she teaches that transformation begins not with denying pain but with learning to meet it — curiously, kindly, and courageously.
At the heart of her work is a simple truth: the brain changes through awareness, and awareness changes everything. Through her practice and her writing, Dr. Adessi helps people reclaim authorship of their inner story, retrain their nervous system for safety and peace, and rediscover what it means to live with purpose, presence, and possibility.
Her first book, How to Be Happy When You’re Feeling Completely Crappy, invites readers to move beyond performative positivity and instead cultivate an authentic, sustainable happiness — one grounded in self-compassion, curiosity, and hope. When she’s not writing or speaking, Dr. Adessi can be found walking barefoot in the grass, listening to music, or watching the light change across the horizon — ordinary moments that, to her, hold the essence of healing itself.
