"I have been a therapist for 30 years working in many settings: non-profit agencies, managed care, and private practice. I am experienced in working with anxiety and depression; couples therapy; trauma; life transition; ADHD; eating disorders; substance abuse; parenting difficulties; and family therapy. I am also a Professor of Social Work at California State University, Sacramento. I conduct workshops for mental health professionals nationwide and internationally. A great deal of my recent work has been with LGBT youth and their families. I am the Clinical Director of the Gender Health, an agency in Sacramento that serves the LGBTQ communities."

"I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have worked in the mental health field for over 23 years. My goal is to provide a safe space to help teens and adults experience themselves as emotionally healthy and autonomous beings. Talking through issues and developing inner strength is integral to moving forward and being the person you envision. I believe in the innate strength of all individuals to learn and make life changes that enrich their lives through increased self-awareness, discovery and practical steps for change."

"Hello, I'm Bonnie Wagner, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has enjoyed working with individuals, couples, children/teens (birth to 18 years) and families, for over 25 years. I have a great deal of experience as a therapist, helping people develop treatment goals which assist them in achieving the most optimal and positive outcomes for themselves."

"My specialties are in the treatment of trauma and addiction. In addition to my formal education, I have extensive training and experience focused on state-of-the-art, proven practices. Using somatic therapies such as The Comprehensive Resource Model, Brainspotting, and EMDR, provides relief from chronic symptoms related to trauma and addiction and relationship issues that have not responded to previous treatment modalities."

"My great passion is to work with individuals, couples, and families who have lost their ability to communicate in a loving, respectful manner. My desire is to see relationships restored or elevated to new levels of peace and harmony. In an effort to remain flexible in working with a wide variety of issues and personalities I incorporate a fluid style of therapy to create a safe, non-judgmental space for self discovery. This approach promotes the restoration of balance in life and relationships."

"I have provided individual, couple and family therapy to the community for 25 years and strongly believe that healing and growth is possible. Particular specialties include couple and family therapy including LGBT, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma. I utilize both traditional therapy and EMDR (for trauma). We all have past hurts and traumas. Until healed these impact our current relationships and EMDR is a quicker treatment with lasting results."

"I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders. I often focus on helping the person become more in tune with, and accepting of, their personal experiences in order to make intentional choices that align with their values. I believe in helping people in a way that is compassionate & collaborative, helping them also build compassion for themselves. My goal is to provide the person with the skills needed, and the support needed, to make changes in their lives that are in alignment with their personal values and priorities. For many people, this leads to experiencing life as fulfilling, satisfying, and meaningful."

"I understand how complicated life can become, leading to such challenges as divorce, struggles raising children, blended families, difficult relationships, trauma, and loss. The ways you have adapted to those challenges may no longer work for you and we can discover new strengths and interactional patterns that can make life easier and simpler. I have helped individuals deal with anxiety and depression, and move through times of loss and trauma. I approach people with authenticity, honesty and openness."

"We are currently looking for 1 or 2 more girls (ages 12-14) to join a group starting in mid-June working through anxiety and depression. Please, email me with any questions."

"I have had the honor of working with adults/couples that have been wounded as children which can create wounded attachment patterns in their present life(s). Because these wounds can be experienced so young, an individual can be unaware of the pain and anger these unhealthy patterns bring to their present lives/relationships. The courageous adults that I have been privileged to support and help heal from situations of early trauma/abuse, whether it be inconsistent care-taking, abandonment, rejection, etc., have achieved success in facing all of life's challenges as a "whole" self versus a "partial" self."

I've successfully helped many overcome addictions, improve their relationships, and personal issues in both one-on-one and personal settings.

"It is often when we feel the most overwhelmed __ when we have "tried everything we know" to feel better, to make changes, to break out of bad habits or unhelpful behavior patterns __ that we find ourselves the most open to growth and change. This is the purpose of psychotherapy. To provide us with the opportunity to open to the process of self-discovery __ to explore our thoughts, our feelings, and our behaviors and to find or regain our essential wholeness and sense of well-being."

"The struggles we all face in life can be very isolating. There is fear of rejection, and a strong belief that no one cares. I care, and I am a firm believer in the truth that seeking support is the first step in breaking free of the isolation. In therapy it is my goal to not only provide support through the pain life can bring, but to help my clients see their inherent value and celebrate with them when they can find well being."

"Spiritual guidance and intuitive counseling includes spirituality with contemporary counseling practices to help with healing, empowerment, and transformation. There are as many paths to the Divine, therefore, the understanding of one's spirituality is subjective to each client. My specializations include body image and self-esteem, love and relationships, sacred sexuality, identity formation, self-empowerment, life transitions, grief and loss, death and dying, mind-body connection, archetypes, multiculturalism and GLBT identity and issues, and spirituality and growth. My practice also includes Goddess psychology, creative expression, dream work, Reiki energy healing, crystal healing, intuitive readings, and indigenous healing practices."
