Seanne Emerton, owner of Sage Coaching and Consulting, LLC, enjoys helping her clients tap into their inner wisdom by providing a safe space to explore and by providing support, skills, resources and tools along the way.
Seanne, a licensed mental health provider and marriage and family therapist for over 30 years, owned and directed a large group mental health practice in Grand Island, NE working with many individuals, couples, families and businesses over the years. She was a Religion major at Nebraska Wesleyan University and received her Master of Science in Community Counseling from the University of Nebraska/Kearney and her post graduate training in family systems from Philadelphia Child Guidance Center.
As a seasoned clinician, Seanne has enjoyed varied experiences, including presenting on resilience to a group of female attorneys in Uzbekistan through the State Department. She also presented on resilience to a group of chaplains and social workers in the joint armed services at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

She feels privileged to have heard life stories from many over the years and is humbled to have been in a position to witness their growth and resilience.
