Bio
Elizabeth Stallone-Lowder founded Sage Tree Therapy, LLC in 2012 with a focus on supporting new moms affected by birth and pregnancy trauma. She specializes in Trauma, including postpartum mood disorders and all perinatal mental health issues. These include fertility challenges, infant and pregnancy loss, postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, high-risk pregnancy, and moms on bed rest.
She's developed an E-Course and written a Workbook in 2022, both titled "The Sweet Spot of Self-Care for Moms: How Sleep, Food, Energy and Sex influence our self-care". My Weekly Pages: A week-by-week planning and reflection prompt journal was released the same year.
Elizabeth believes in helping moms become more authentic and self-compassionate by becoming more mindful of their feelings, values and core beliefs. She emphasizes strengths-based approaches for all of her clients, honoring the fact that everyone is an expert in their own life. All of Elizabeth's clinical interventions focus on the importance of self-care and empowerment. She knows you are the BEST mom for your children and understands there is no such thing as perfect parenting. (Good news — our kids don't even need us to be perfect!)
Specialized therapies include Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), The Daring Way™, visual art techniques, Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model (TREM), healthy sexuality / sex education, dream interpretation, and therapeutic journaling with a cognitive-behavioral filter. Elizabeth also offers EMDR (Level II).
To improve moms’ lives on a macro level and better equip her region with more professionals trained in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD), Elizabeth co-founded Heartland PMAD Consultants, LLC with Kim Martino-Sexton. As two experts in the field of perinatal peer support and mental health, Elizabeth and Kim train healthcare providers and social service agencies on how to help perinatal patients get the best care possible.
Elizabeth is also a former adjunct professor of Social Work at the Brown School of Social Work at Washington University, serves on the Advisory Board of Herzing University's MSW Program and the Hyperemesis Education & Research Foundation as well as a co-founder of HGMoms on Facebook.
