Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

Welcome. If you are feeling lost, struggling, overwhelmed or currently facing a painfully difficult time, I can help. Experiencing emotional pain and struggling with life issues are part of the process of living. Yet, when we find ourselves stuck in patterns, situations, or relationships that continue to be painful, we ask “Why can’t things be better?” or “What is wrong with me?” and eventually “Can I ever feel happy?” Often these are the issues that propel us to seek therapy. Emotional pain can show up as anger, fear, grief, confusion, anxiety, exhaustion, procrastination, etc. I believe, for change to occur, safety, empathy and respect are essential. I have come to experience an increasing sense of sacredness about our work together. It often takes courage to walk through the therapist’s door for the first time. As healing begins, I am reminded of the resiliency and courage of the human spirit.

For over 25 years I have been helping people when their lives have become painful, deadened, upsetting, or when unexpected events disrupted their lives. I will join with you to help tolerate immediate concerns, to develop effective techniques for you, and if you want, explore further possibilities for more satisfying relationships and life. I'm experienced in both brief, solution-focused therapy, and exploratory deep therapy. I offer clients an empathic, collaborative and individually-focused therapeutic relationship: the surprising paradox of relationship is how we become more true to ourselves by fully being with someone else.

Sex addiction impacts the addict and their partner. Sex addicts may experience preoccupation with sexual thoughts, hide sexual behaviors or activity from others, have sought help for problematic sexual behaviors, feel controlled by their sexual desire, feel depressed after sexual behavior, or notice others have suffered due to their sexual behavior? Partners of sex addicts may experience shock, intense anger, fear, and/or pain about their partner’s sexual behaviors, experience unexpected drops in sexual interest, feel like they are on an emotional roller coaster, or notice that past trauma keeps coming back and impacting them.

Hello. I invite you to take a look at my website to get more information about the work that I offer. Life is hard. You do not need to navigate it alone! I offer a straight forward, research based approach to dealing with life and relationship struggles. Sometimes we just need a little extra support. Reaching out takes courage! Good for you. :)

I work with older adolescents and adults who are facing difficulties in their life; are in a transition; and/or are having relationship problems. An overarching goal in my work with clients is to help them strengthen their coping skills and create a more meaningful life.

We are a group of Clinical Social Workers providing individual and couples therapy both in person or via telehealth in Santa Rosa. We have recently added a Spanish speaking clinician who can accept Partnership Health Plan and Kaiser Beacon referrals.

Many people come to therapy experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or some other phase of life issue. People who find working with me helpful tend to want to go beyond treating symptoms to understanding what is keeping them stuck and working towards being freed from internal conflicts that are blocking them from enjoying their lives. They are seeking self-discovery, healing, understanding, and growth.

You may be surprised to discover what a wonderfully rich, deeply fulfilling journey psychotherapy can be, just like the potential for your life truly is. There is always a way to create positive change. I have been helping people to do so for 25 years and would be honored to help you, as well. In our work together, you will have my absolute dedication to your emotional healing and well-being and have the relationship success you want. I love working with my clients and feel greatly motivated to help each person who comes to see me.

In life we all have opportunities for growth and change, and no one person or challenge is the same. Therapy can be a place to gain awareness, insight, and most importantly find the confidence and personal power to make changes. I work to help clients identify and acknowledge what is not working for them as well as find their own path toward solutions.

Are you navigating life changes, challenges, or difficulties in your relationship? Perhaps you've had negative past experiences and are hoping to heal and process trauma. Maybe you are feeling anxious, lost, or stuck and want to find ways to feel more peace, inspiration, and connection in your life. Whatever your situation is in this moment, I am here to provide a warm, supportive, and thoughtful environment where you can engage in deep exploration and create positive change in your life.

My name is Tanya Ward, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I embrace a compassionate and client-centered approach to therapy and am committed to fostering a safe and nonjudgmental environment. I encourage individuals to explore their authentic selves and collaboratively address the challenges and obstacles hindering their personal growth and well-being. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and couple's issues.

I offer guidance and support to break free of harsh reoccurring experiences. If you suffer from couple's conflict, anxiety, depression, anger management or are experiencing life's transitions, you may think that you are lost in a hopeless battle against your own thoughts and feelings and are blocked from living your life fully. Fortunately, the more you learn about the commonalities behind these uncomfortable experiences, the more you will come to understand that there are ways to control your thoughts and relieve the emotional and physical effects.

Sometimes looking for what you need is harder than you thought. Our Keystone team provides services that meet people in the different stages in their lives and goes along side you through your own self-determined growth process.

Hello and welcome! I use strength-based practices to support clients in building self-compassion, self-awareness and personal strengths to heal and relieve psychological suffering. I'm a bicultural/bilingual (Spanish-speaking) psychologist, and enjoy working with children (ages 5 and up) and adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and abuse.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with specialties in Art Therapy and EMDR. I work with older teens and adults who are struggling with living their lives to the fullest. I can help you look at and reprocess traumas that have happened through out your life. I can offer tools to help you live more in the present and strive for the future you want. I believe that everyone can grow with their experiences and learn to thrive in their life. Together we can take this journey of self discovery.

Sex addiction impacts the addict and their partner. Sex addicts may experience preoccupation with sexual thoughts, hide sexual behaviors or activity from others, have sought help for problematic sexual behaviors, feel controlled by their sexual desire, feel depressed after sexual behavior, or notice others have suffered due to their sexual behavior? Partners of sex addicts may experience shock, intense anger, fear, and/or pain about their partner’s sexual behaviors, experience unexpected drops in sexual interest, feel like they are on an emotional roller coaster, or notice that past trauma keeps coming back and impacting them.

Are you tired of fighting the same battles in your head? Feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of adulting? Does social anxiety keep you on the sidelines? Unlike traditional therapy focused on "fixing" you, I guide clients on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance. We'll explore your inner world with compassionate curiosity, helping you understand and befriend your emotions, not silence them. This approach unlocks lasting changes that go beyond temporary symptom relief.

Welcome! I believe in reducing emotional pain, resolving relationship struggles, and improving coping skills. I offer both long-term modalities as well as brief, solution-oriented approaches - and am confident that all therapy can be pleasurable, precise, and quickly effective. I use straight-talk, playfulness, curiosity... and I am intuitive, non-judgmental and compassionate with a strong background in both body-centered and transpersonal modalities. I am highly effective in connecting with clients who recognize their desire for personal benefit but dislike and/or mistrust therapists or traditional talk therapy. LGBTQ friendly!

As a licensed therapist, I believe my role is to be a tool for change and support as you walk your own path. I operate from the assumption that you are the expert of your own life, and I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I bring unconditional warmth and empathy to sessions while also helping clients determine their own negative beliefs or patterns that may be contributing to feelings of distress. With increased awareness and insight, together we can work on letting go of fear, resentment, healing past wounds, expressing needs and boundaries, and building healthy relationships.
