Therapists in Sebastopol, CA

Hi, my name is Kathleen Vang and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Fresno, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I specialize in depression, anxiety, and trauma using a Client-Centered Approach with interventions from CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness. I aim to support my clients in learning more about themselves, making progress, and increasing their mental wellness. My communication style is calm, personable, and understanding in order to create a judgment-free zone and have my clients feel safe and comfortable sharing with me.

Taking the first step towards heal inner wounds is not easy and you shouldn’t have to go through it alone. Therapy is a space for you to be seen, valued and heard. My goal is to support you on your journey to understanding yourself , healing from the past and creating the life you want. Having worked with diverse identities groups, cultural narratives and trauma experiences, I believe I can offer a unique insight to bridge experiences that are difficult to sort through.

Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or a continuation of your therapy journey, I want to acknowledge the time you are taking to support yourself by seeking change. I think of therapy as a commitment to making space for things that often don’t get enough space in everyday life— space settle into oneself, to take pause, to be witnessed, to be with experiences and support awareness as it emerges. I believe that awareness leads to choice, and that in therapy we can co-create a space to explore your experiences, building greater awareness of needs, boundaries, and patterns of experience.

I served as the Chief of Psychology at one of the largest mental facilities in California.

I work with my clients from a whole person approach, and am passionate about supporting people of color, individuals and couples in life transition, and children and their parents. I believe that cultural empathy is a real skill, and being able to hold space for clients in this way is particularly important to me. My approach is client centered with a depth orientation and I meet all my clients and their families where they are at developmentally, emotionally, and experientially to support them in identifying and healing the experiences they believe are holding them back emotionally from living their fullest life.

My name is Erika Lin and I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe that who we are today is shaped by our past experiences and relationships. I like to work with my clients to recognize, identify, and change patterns in their lives in order to work towards the life they wish to live! I come from a family systems-based background and I work with clients to identify and make changes in their relationships and environment to achieve long-lasting change. I often utilize a systems approach, such as structural family therapy. I also utilize an emotionally-focused and attachment-based approach to therapy.

I help creative and driven individuals who are struggling with self-esteem, anxiety/burnout, trauma, and difficulty in relationships. If you desire to live more authentically and to be freed from the burden of not feeling "good enough," therapy can be a helpful and safe space to work on shifting out of patterns that keep you feeling stuck and overwhelmed. You won't be alone in the process as we will work collaboratively to help you discover a new path forward that leads to healing and growth.

It is within your reach to live a life that is calmer, more grounded and satisfying - where you're not overwhelmed or completely detached - no matter how you are feeling right now or what happened before. You feel on guard, emotionally and physically flooded, disempowered, alone, and hijacked by triggers. Maybe you feel like you cannot trust yourself or others, and your self-confidence is suffering. Whether you're here because of a traumatic event or you have experienced multiple hardships in life, it is possible to get through this, reclaim your spirit and self, and help your mind/body be here in the present moment.

Hi! I'm so glad you're here. Welcome to my profile. Many of the clients I've worked with have experienced a sense of feeling stuck in some area of their life whether it's in their relationships with themselves or with others. They desire for their life to look different, but are at a loss of how to create the change they're longing for and only end up feeling anxious, depressed, or attempting to fill the void or distract from the feelings of overwhelm that a different way of life is possible.

Many people feel disconnected from their true selves going through life looking o.k. on the outside but feeling awful on the inside. This causes all kinds of symptoms: depression, irritability, anxiety, alienation, boredom, dissatisfaction, lack of motivation, and disinterest in life. Through our work together, I help you to access deeper parts of yourself which can bring back vitality and meaning into your life. Problems often arise from childhood issues or from life transistions; college, marriage, birth, divorce, or death of a loved one. Through developing a deeper connection with yourself suffering can be transformed into growth and strength.

I consider myself a nerdy-geeky person who incorporates storytelling techniques in my therapy sessions. If you're seeking relief from your symptoms, a safe space to work through personal issues, or simply a place to vent, I can be of assistance. My ideal client is someone who understands that therapy requires active participation and engagement, rather than a passive experience. They also appreciate the power of humor in building authenticity. While I wish I could solve everything, we need to work together to bring about the desired changes. I meet you where you are and support you in your personal journey.

I offer support in coming into greater clarity, connection, self assuredness, ease and peace about the past, where you are now, and where you hope to go or get to within yourself and relationships.

I love supporting individuals through these sorts of challenges and more. Email me to setup a free consultation. Whatever you are experiencing, you do not have to go through it alone.
