Dr. Saja Mboge, LCSW

Dr. Saja Mboge is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee and Delaware with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as depression, grief, trauma and parenting stress. He also addresses problems that often show up in relationships, including communication difficulties, attachment concerns, and codependency patterns.

He uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people notice what keeps them stuck and try different responses. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings, such as emotion regulation, setting boundaries, and changing unhelpful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are part of that work when they fit the client's goals.

Dr. Mboge draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to keep sessions grounded in each person's experience. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making changes. Narrative ideas are used to help people reframe troubling stories they tell about themselves.

He has worked with veterans and people facing immigration and family-of-origin challenges, bringing experience with mood disorders, impulsivity, and isolation. That background informs how he tracks progress and adjusts the plan when something is not helping.

People who repeatedly put others first or struggle to say no often find the focus is on small, manageable steps. Early sessions typically clarify what matters most and try one or two practical strategies. Later sessions review what worked and expand on those skills.
