Who Is SagePoint Behavioral Health?
Guiding You Toward Stability, Purpose, and Joy
At SagePoint Behavioral Health, healing is about more than addressing symptoms. It is about helping individuals create a life that is meaningful, balanced, and filled with purpose. Based in Elk Grove, California, SagePoint provides specialized behavioral health treatment for adults facing mental health and substance use challenges. Recovery can feel overwhelming, particularly when someone is moving into a higher level of care or transitioning from an inpatient program. SagePoint offers a supportive bridge during these times with Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) that deliver compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each client’s needs.
The team at SagePoint understands that every person’s journey is unique. Each client is welcomed into a warm, stigma-free environment where they are treated as a whole person rather than a diagnosis. The focus is on meeting people where they are and guiding them toward lasting change. With a multidisciplinary team that combines clinical expertise with genuine empathy, SagePoint creates a space where clients feel safe, respected, and supported. Here, every story is valued, and each recovery path is honored as an individual experience.
Our Story
SagePoint Behavioral Health was founded by Caroline Bentley, LMFT, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over two decades of experience in mental health and substance use disorder treatment. Caroline’s career allowed her to see firsthand how fragmented and impersonal behavioral health services could be, especially at higher levels of care.
She envisioned something different:
- A treatment center grounded in clinical excellence but also human connection.
- A place where clients feel seen, heard, and valued from the moment they arrive.
- A program designed with a clinician’s insight rather than a corporate blueprint.
What began as a solo practice in a two-room office has now grown into a thriving treatment center in Elk Grove, staffed by a multidisciplinary team of therapists, counselors, and medical professionals. Together, they bring over 140 years of combined experience, blending professional expertise with genuine empathy. Many team members have personal experiences with mental health and recovery, giving them a unique ability to connect with and support clients in a truly authentic way.

The Founding of SagePoint Behavioral Health
SagePoint Behavioral Health specializes in Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for adults 18+ living in Elk Grove and the greater Sacramento County area.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP offers a highly structured treatment environment without requiring overnight stays. This level of care is ideal for clients stepping down from residential treatment or those who need more support than outpatient therapy can provide.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
SagePoint’s IOP bridges the gap between weekly therapy and residential care. This semi-intensive program helps clients develop coping skills, emotional regulation, and relapse prevention strategies while staying connected to daily life.
Each program is designed to provide a comprehensive range of services that support recovery and promote overall well-being:
- Group Therapy: Building connection and mutual support with peers.
- Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions within the program to address personal goals and challenges.
- Medication Management: Oversight by medical providers for safe and effective treatment.
- Case Management: Assistance with practical needs and community resources.
- Comprehensive Intake Assessments: Thorough evaluations to guide individualized treatment plans.

- Depression and anxiety

- Free Consultation: An initial conversation to discuss the client’s needs, verify insurance benefits, and determine if the program is the right fit.
- Comprehensive Intake Assessment: A thorough evaluation conducted by a licensed clinician to understand the client’s history, current challenges, and treatment goals.
- Personalized Treatment Planning: Creating a customized care plan that addresses the unique needs and objectives of each client.
- Structured Support: Providing multiple therapy sessions each week that offer skill-building opportunities and promote emotional growth.
- Aftercare Planning: Developing a transition plan that includes resources such as outpatient therapy, support groups, and community services to maintain progress after program completion.
