Sage Meadows Mental Health is a newly established boutique adult psychiatry practice founded with a simple vision: to provide thoughtful, affirming, and individualized mental health care for people who have sometimes felt misunderstood or overlooked in traditional healthcare settings.
The mental health crisis in America continues to grow, while access to psychiatric care remains limited. Many patients face waitlists of weeks or months, brief appointments, and limited opportunities to truly get to know their provider, ask questions, learn about their diagnosis, or thoughtfully discuss treatment options.
These challenges can be especially significant for people with histories of trauma, LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent people, and others who have not always felt understood or welcomed in traditional healthcare environments.
Sage Meadows was created to intentionally do things differently.
Founded by PA Erica Chustz, a psychiatric physician assistant with more than seven years of experience in psychiatry, Sage Meadows is a small, fully remote practice designed around personalized and affirming care. Patients are offered extended appointments, frequent follow-up when clinically appropriate, same-week appointments when available, shared decision-making, and education about their mental health and treatment options.
The practice will maintain an intentionally small patient panel so each patient receives the time and attention needed for thoughtful, individualized care. The goal is to create enough space for patients to feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their own treatment.
Building a small private-pay practice takes time. Establishing relationships and trust within the community is an important part of the early growth process, particularly for a practice serving a more specialized patient population.
During this early stage, contributions will help cover both recurrent practice expenses (e.g. EMR, technology, website hosting, licensing fees, etc) and start-up costs (SEO consultation, marketing, networking, business travel).
But the longer-term goal is bigger than simply building a sustainable practice.
Sage Meadows hopes to eventually provide approximately 15% of its care through pro-bono or sliding-scale services, helping make individualized and holistic psychiatric care available to people who may not otherwise be able to afford it.
Your contribution will help give this small practice the resources needed to grow thoughtfully, build relationships in the community, and ultimately create greater access to the kind of mental health care that too many people struggle to find.
Regular updates will be shared as Sage Meadows grows. The practice is currently accepting patients anywhere in the state of Utah, and may expand to other states in the future. Whether you contribute financially, share this campaign, or simply help spread the word, your support means a great deal.
Thank you for helping Sage Meadows grow!
