Sage Meadows
Mental Health
Where Healing Takes Root

Trauma Informed Tele-Psychiatry Anywhere in Utah

Holistic, affirming psychiatric care for adults navigating trauma, emotional dysregulation, depression, and complex mental health concerns

A boutique psychiatry practice offering personalized evaluation and medication management designed around your life. Longer appointments. Fewer patients. More time for you.

Psychiatric care should feel like a conversation, not a countdown. If you've felt rushed through appointments, overlooked by the mental health system, or unsure whether your provider truly understands your experience, you already know how exhausting that can be.

Sage Meadows exists to deliver a higher standard of care. I work with people who have felt marginalized because of trauma, identity, or neurodivergence to build stability and self-trust through slower, collaborative psychiatric care that centers the whole person—not just symptoms or diagnoses.

“Care is intentionally structured to support depth,

continuity, and real growth over time.”

While Sage Meadows provides psychiatric care for a range of mental health conditions, particular areas of experience include PTSD and trauma-related disorders, borderline personality disorder (BPD), depression, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. This practice is especially tailored to LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent adults, as well as people navigating the effects of relational, religious, developmental, or systemic trauma.

Meet Your Provider:

Hi, I’m Erica Chustz, PA-C, a psychiatric physician assistant with over seven years of experience treating adults across a wide range of mental health conditions.

Before founding Sage Meadows, I worked in diverse high-acuity psychiatric settings, including emergency psychiatry and adult community outpatient care. Those experiences shaped my clinical skills and my commitment to individualized and thoughtful care.

I founded Sage Meadows Mental Health to create a space where patients feel seen, supported, and given the time and attention they deserve. As a trauma survivor and member of the LGBTQ+ community, this work is more than a profession for me; it's part of my life's mission.

What Makes This Practice Different:

90-minute initial evaluations and 30-minute follow-ups, giving time to understand your story and answer any questions
A small practice allows for responsive messaging, urgent visit availability, and a consistent provider who stays familiar with your life and treatment
Fully remote care via secure video visits from anywhere in Utah
Shared decision-making, where treatment options are explained clearly and your preferences guide the final plan
Extensive experience with prescription medications allows me to offer various options and predict likely side effects
Holistic treatment including psychiatric medications, herbal supplements, and lifestyle interventions.
Conscientious prescribing, including careful medication changes and dose adjustments. Support in reducing medications (or coming off medications entirely) if desired
Ongoing collaborative communication with other health professionals (therapist, PCP, ob-gyn, pain management, etc)

Who I help:

Sage Meadows Mental Health provides psychiatric assessment and medication management for adults (18+) across Utah. This practice may be a good fit if you:

Feel isolated, mis-understood or judged by your community or family of origin
Are LGBTQ+ or neurodivergent and are seeking care that embraces your identity, rather than merely 'tolerating' it
Are recovering from childhood, religious, or systemic harm and searching for a provider who can relate
Feel that your mental health symptoms are keeping you from truly enjoying life, or reaching your full potential
Value the privacy, autonomy and flexibility of a self-pay, virtual model of care
Struggle with emotional regulation, intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, or relationship difficulties
Experience painful emotional states such as depression, hopelessness, loneliness, or urges to self-harm

Expected Outcomes:

While everyone’s path is different, most patients notice gradual improvements within weeks in mood stability, anxiety, focus, and overall quality of life as treatment progresses. Specific outcomes frequently include:

Improved mood and emotional stability (e.g. less mood swings)
Reduced trauma-related symptoms, including paranoia, flashbacks, nightmares, panic attacks, hyper-vigilance, etc.
Enhanced ability to cope with stress
Improved sleep and energy
Healthier and more fulfilling relationships
Concrete progress toward personal, relational, and professional goals
A clearer and more compassionate understanding of your symptoms
Reduced self-stigma and increased self-understanding; stronger alignment with personal values
