Perenda Isom-Satterfield

Hi! I’m Perenda Isom-Satterfield, a Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern here at SAGE Therapy Services, and I am so excited to connect with you! Stepping into therapy is a powerful first step in putting yourself first—the true beginning of self-care, empowerment, and living as your authentic self. After over 30 years of supporting youth, individuals, and neurodivergent families, I’ve learned that life is way too short to spend it hiding who you are. Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

My space is a total zero-judgment zone. Whether we’re supporting young people, navigating complex life transitions, celebrating the beauty of a neurodivergent mind, or diving into couples work—an area I’m especially excited to expand into—you’ll find an easygoing, compassionate environment where you never have to worry about saying the wrong thing.

Currently finishing my Master’s at Walden University, my approach is completely client-centered. We’ll draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and narrative therapy, but always in a way that feels natural, collaborative, and tailored to you. With my deep roots in special education, my work as a preschool intervention specialist, and as Founder of The Wonderful World of Autism, I bring decades of real-world experience to help you reframe your story and build practical tools for real life.

Come as you are—quirks, stress, messy parts, and all. I can’t wait to meet you and walk alongside you on our journey!
