for you, the patient
to be well and healthy

Sage is such a wonderful practice. I didn't realize how much I was struggling or how much better I could feel until I opened up and accepted some help. Everyone here is accepting and inclusive and really cares about taking care of people. Jessica is such a blessing. I couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable and empathetic member of my mental health team. Lauren is such a kind and warm individual and always a comfort to see at check in. Also, Dusty (the cutest sweetest dogo ever) takes very good care of me when I'm in a session. Couldn't recommend this place enough! If you're having some struggles, please feel safe and hopefull knowing that coming here - you're in good hands and things will get better soon!
Response from the owner:We’re so grateful for your kind words! Patients like you make what we do so rewarding. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
Awesome place with awesome people
Response from the owner:Thanks for the review.
I can honestly say that working with Katie has already been life changing.
During our sessions I feel seen, understood, and completely safe to be myself. She has a rare gift of holding space with so much warmth and compassion, while also gently guiding me toward self-understanding and grace.

After speaking with Katie I always feel lighter, more grounded, and more hopeful. I’m so grateful for the way she shows up — fully present, kind, and real. During our first session she took extra time to be thorough, taking me through tests and scenarios to ensure a proper diagnosis. If you’re looking for a Psych NP who truly cares about people, I can’t recommend Katie enough.
Response from the owner:We’re so happy to hear you had a great visit! Katie has been such a fantastic addition to our practice, and it means a lot to know our patients feel the same way. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
I’m a new patient both to Sage and also in general, and Jess has eased my worries! I had a lot of anxiety about seeing a psychiatrist (you hear all the stories of men in white coats haha) but she has been FANTASTIC! Supportive, actually listens, is thorough, and extremely personable. You can tell she genuinely cares! Also her front desk attendee Loren is an absolute gem! She is friendly and funny and will have a conversation with you instead of just telling you to sit and wait! 10/10 so happy to have found their clinic!
Response from the owner:Aww! Thanks, Syd! We appreciate you taking the time to write a review! BB! 😉
Jessica is always so helpful and enlightening when I’m going through tough times. She is very supportive and understanding. I don’t know how I could get through life without her.
Response from the owner:Keesha, thanks so much! We'll always been here for you!
Jess is wonderful. She is down to earth and very easy to talk to. She is very experienced in dealing with mental health issues. I am so happy that I found her!!
Response from the owner:Hi Pam, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and trusting me with your care. You are a delight! Happy New Year!
Jessica and Lauren at Sage are absolutely amazing. They have truly saved both my family and me. It takes a lot to admit when you need help, but choosing to reach out to them was the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. The impact has been life-changing, creating a positive domino effect on every aspect of my life.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! It is wonderful to see you feeling good and doing great things! We'll work on the chocolate situation! 🙂
We have been seeing Jessica for several years. She is on time, attentive, and provides a comfortable space for mental health needs.
Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate you so much!
I cannot rave about this place enough. The staff is incredibly kind, non-judgmental, and actually listens (rare, I know). You walk in feeling anxious and awkward, and somehow leave feeling like you just talked to people who get it. If you’re looking for mental health help and want to feel like a human being instead of a chart number, this is the spot. Safe, warm, and surprisingly chill for a doctor’s office. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Well thanks, Jenna! You're awesome!
Very welcoming environment. My first ever mental health visit and I was very nervous, but this place made my first appointment and the ones after very relaxing and simple.
Response from the owner:Thanks, Calise! We strive to be a healing and welcoming place. Thanks for your kind words!
I have a hard time opening up to people, especially therapist and never had much luck or willingness to let my guard down. But here at Sage they managed to have cracked me open. I feel safe and comfortable opening up to Dr.Jess, along with Dusty of course.
Response from the owner:Wow, that makes us feel so good. You will always be heard here!
I’ve been coming here for over a year now and I can say I’m a thoroughly satisfied with my results. This is a great place to come for any mental health concerns.
Response from the owner:It is our pleasure to take good care of you! Thanks so much!
I’ve been coming to Sage Mental Health for almost 4 years now I believe; and I got my husband in with her also about two years ago too. Dr. Jessica is the most amazing psychiatrist I’ve ever had, she understands me so well and does everything she can to help me help myself better. I couldn’t ask for better in a provider. She is very prompt and so very kind and supportive. Her empathy shines so bright, I highly recommend her and Sage if you’re looking to be completely understood and helped through whatever is going on in your life without judgment or negativity. You will be seen and heard with her. And Lauren is the sweetest receptionist too. Her and Dr. Jessica make driving on shelbyville rd bearable lol.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! Shelbyville road is no joke! It is our pleasure to take good care of you both. I'm so glad you feel heard and supported here.
I feel comfortable and heard at Sage mental health. When I leave I long to go back. Beautiful place I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to feel more than just a patient but a real person.
Response from the owner:Thanks Shivon. We value you here!! Take good care!
I was referred to see Jessica by a friend and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and about the team. I started seeing Jessica when I found out I was pregnant and I cannot thank her enough for her support then and her support now. Jessica is honest, kind, relatable, validating and has a sense of humor.

The office is calming and inviting and laid-back yet always professional. They are excellent communicators and very timely.

I would (and do!) recommend them to everyone!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much Emily, your kind words mean the world to us!
Excellent place for healing
Response from the owner:Thanks so much! We appreciate you!
Having been around many psychiatrists, I've found a wonderful doctor in Jessica. Friendly, thorough, and genuinely
caring with warm interludes of laughter. Takes time to add ress key issues. Great listener. Thank you for helping me!!
Response from the owner:Hi Kathleen, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. We'll take good care of you!
I have been seeing Jessica for six years every three months or so. Getting an appointment is always easy and her style is direct and helpful as befits her role as a PNP.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much!! It is our pleasure to take good care of you!

Highly recommend Sage. Easy to schedule appointments. Staff very friendly. Patient for about 2 years, and Jessica helped get me back to feeling great.
Response from the owner:You did the hard work! So glad you're doing so well! Take good care!
Response from the owner:Who's awesome? You're awesome!
Firstly the office staff was nice and the atmosphere was inviting.
2nd Jessica Eckhoff showed up 11 mins late to our evaluation and did not apologize. She asked questions that we had already filled out in paperwork such as family history, health etc. (Not sure if she looked at our file prior to coming in late.) Bad first impression.
Jessica gave my child an OCD sheet during the short 50 minute evaluation which took up a lot of the eval time and my daughter stated she didn’t even look at it. This could have been sent out prior to the appt.
My daughter felt dismissed, as Jessica was pushing medicine onto her even though my daughter was clear she did not want to take medicine multiple times, and wanted to take an alternative route for help. Ex. Therapy but with more insight to what could be going on.
Jessica did NOT tell us anything we didn’t already know, as we had already written down in the paperwork what we knew that my daughter had, and simply got the same diagnosis from Jessica right after while not providing any new sources or information. She just prescribed meds and told us they had a list of therapists up front (after I asked) that we could go to because she stated she’d be too expensive. Also, she did not have any formal written up diagnosis that she could email us or a write up of the eval how she came to that conclusion. Therefore, this $315 evaluation was basically a waste of money unless you are just looking for someone to provide prescription drugs. I would not recommend this provider for a thorough evaluation. Pay a little extra and get a full eval somewhere else.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback and the opportunity to provide a second opinion that aligned with what you already knew. Like with any other diagnosis, good care includes developing a treatment plan for relieving symptoms but it is always up to the patient to decide whether or not to abide by it. Best wishes for the future and take good care.
Jessica is an incredible provider! She is patient, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure her patients feel heard and well cared for. Lauren, the practice manager, is equally impressive: kind, knowledgeable, and consistently makes you feel welcome and at ease. I’m truly grateful to have found this practice.
Response from the owner:Thank so much for your kind words. Lauren is a fantastic asset!
Jess is such a wonderful therapist. She has helped me thru some really tough times. Always so kind.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Linda! We'll always take good care of you!
Jessica is great. Staff is great. Very professional, helpful, and kind. What more could you ask for!
Response from the owner:Well, thanks so much!! It is our pleasure!
Jessica is very easy to talk to and can give you several avenues to help you.
Jessica is so compassionate and insightful! I always look forward to seeing her.
Response from the owner:Thanks, Katie! We'll always take good care of you here!
My husband was a patient here and really liked Jessica. Unfortunately, at the time they didn't take insurance so when we would request reimbursement we would be penalized for using an 'out of network' doctor. Therefore, we had to switch after a year. When my son needed a psychiatrist I was pleasantly surprised to find out from a neighbor that Sage Mental Health helps children as well. I knew I could take him somewhere I trusted. They do take insurance now but unfortunately they don't take ours YET. They're working on that. But it's still worth it to take my son somewhere I know he'll get the treatment he needs.
Jessica is a phenomenal provider. Everyone involved in her practice, herself included, is kind, gracious and comfortable to be around. Ideally you would want your provider to be level-headed, practical, unbaised and reasonable. She is all of these things. Rare find for sure.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Michael! It is our pleasure to take good care of you!
As someone who has spent 27 years in east Louisville, this is by far the most caring and knowledgeable place for psychiatric medicine. They go out of their way to make sure you get your medicine on time (even on weekends for emergencies) and are overall a fresh and welcoming presence. They talk WITH you about your medicine and not AT you. They help you understand alternatives and do a good job at referring outside if they feel they can’t quite help with what you need. Highly recommend ☺️!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much! I appreciate your kind words. Great to see you today!
I was previously a patient at a big name practice here in Louisville, and Jessica has done more for me in 3 months than they did in 4 years of treatment. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, and really takes your own experiences and opinions on treatment into consideration when developing a plan for your mental health. I can't recommend her highly enough. The office is convenient in Middletown and is the furthest thing from a traditional, clinical doctor's office. It is comfortable, cozy, and Dusty the therapy dog is a joy when he is there.
Response from the owner:Seeing your smile makes my job worth it! Thanks so much for your kind words!
Jess is extremely compassionate, very easy to talk to, and extremely knowledgeable. The woman at the front desk (forgive me for not having a name) was very kind and helpful as well! And of course, Dusty the therapy dog was the greatest. Thank you all, so glad to be a patient!
Response from the owner:Hi Gracie, It was so great to meet you! I really appreciate the kind review!
I would higly recommend Jessica. I have never ever had any kind of problem with her. To the contrary, she listens extremely well and has helped me with my mental health issues. I would always go to her first.
Response from the owner:Hi Chris, thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the review.
There is a dog. Also it is a very calming environment. Jessica listens and always willing to help.
Response from the owner:Katie, thank you so much! Dusty and I look forward to seeing you soon!
Went in for Jessica, came back for Dusty. 🙂

Very calm, very laid back and grounded.
Jessica is patient and straight forward with information.
Very easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable with medication advice and recommendations.
You can tell a lot about someone from their dog. Dusty is very calm and friendly, happy for some attention but never pushy.
Therapy and can be exhausting but so far I've left feeling pretty good about the experience every time.

Definitely recommend for people with high stress.
Response from the owner:Lol! Thanks, Mike. Dusty would be the tough one to replace around here. 🙂
Jessica is the best. easy to talk to, warm friendly and nonjudgmental. Would highly recommend her for any issue you have!!
Response from the owner:Jason, thank you so much! I always enjoy talking with you!
I can say enough positive things about this office and how they have helped my family member! The turnaround has been amazing. Finally someone who actually listens, cares, and wants to truly understand and help every patient. THANK YOU!
By far, Sage Mental Health is the best place I have been in 15 years!!!
Dr. Jessica Eckhoff is so acknowledged about everything, extremely nice and treats you with real respect and sincerity too!!!
Saddie, the office coordinator is amazing and that makes the whole experience so much better than a lot of these other providers out there!!
And to finish up the atmosphere is warm, new and extremely calming, especially with their therapy dog by your side!!!!
I have seen a psychiatrists in 20 years, and by far Dr. Jessica where Have You Been!!!
So, so glad I’m finally in good hands and you should definitely try Sage Mental Health out,Please !!!!
Sincerely- Amie Grissom THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING AND UNDERSTANDING, WHEN SO MANY OTHERS HAVE LET YOU DOWN, AMEN!!!!
My happy place
Decided to practice self care and seek the help I needed. I am so grateful to have found and connected with Jess and Sage Mental Health. With Jess I felt immediately disarmed and talked with her like we have been friends for years. I felt heard and acknowledged. Office staff are so nice and helpful. Dusty the support pup was equally wonderful. Thank you Sage!
Sage and the people who work there have helped me tremendously! Thank you all for all you do !
Jess was very understanding and easy to talk to, she really listens. The vibe is relaxing and everyone is helpful!
I first heard about Sage while watching our local news show - Wave 3 listens. Jess is so wonderful! She is friendly, honest, and truly cares about you. Her main goal is helping you reach your own goals and she has been the best support along the way. I love the warm environment her office gives and she has the kindest staff. Thank you!
Jessica is the real deal. What a great listener…and I’m a nonstop talker! Compassion is what Sage brings- and they bring it strong.
Had experiences at a couple other mental health offices and was questioning giving it another shot and Jess by far makes me feel the most comfortable with the way she treats me as a person and with her knowledge in the psychology field. Highly recommend.
Great office with an amazing staff!
An absolutely wonderful place to go when you need some help. I haven't had a great experience with psychiatrists in the past, but Jessica made me feel heard and really helped me out when I needed it, and I plan to continue coming here. Highly recommended for your mental health needs.
Completey unprofessional when voiced dissatisfaction with her care, which could have Really put me in harms way. Absolutely not 💯. If I get another certified letter to my house with lies in it, I will prob report her the BBB.
