I have been trained in EMDR and
Emotionally Focused
Couples Therapy (EFT).
Is something in your life not quite working the way you would like? Are you feeling stuck? It can often be helpful to talk though some of the issues we are struggling with in a therapeutic relationship that feels understanding, safe, and compassionate. Human beings aren't meant to "go it alone". In fact, feeling alone is inherently traumatizing itself. I have been licensed for over 20 years, working with individuals, couples, and families to heal their relationships, and to overcome trauma, depression, and addictions.

In addition, I have a particular interest in working with couples and have specialized training in EFT (
Emotionally Focused
Therapy).
If you are feeling sad, anxious, or simply unhappy, you are definitely not alone. My philosophy is that people do the best they can with what they have, but sometimes anxiety, stress, grief, depression and relationship issues can contribute to our feeling stuck. My genuine belief is that change is always possible and begins with being motivated to do something different. My approach is both collaborative and supportive and will help you explore the changes you'd like to make in order to live a more meaningful and purposeful life.

I primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS),
Emotionally Focused
Couples Therapy (EFT), and Narrative Therapy in my work, however, I select treatment theory based upon the needs of clients after considering the strengths of the individuals, problems being addressed and openness to particular theoretical frameworks.
I treat adult individuals and couples who are motivated, open-minded and committed to their own success. I enjoy working with insightful and reflective people struggling with relational issues like infidelity, intimacy, moving on from a relationship and poly/open relationships. I'm experienced working with therapists, doctors, Friends of Bill and LGBT couples seeking to repair their relationships and overcome personal obstacles. I am also the President/Executive Director for Couples Resource Collective and served two terms as Treasurer for the Sacramento Valley California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.

I use this lens along with the empirically validated
Emotionally Focused
Therapy (EFT) to help you move from a place of distress to a place of feeling heard, connected and loved.
Relationship difficulties can preoccupy one's life. My clients find themselves stuck in repetitive negative communication patterns, they have experienced a recent injury to their emotional bond or fear that the trust in their partner has been broken. Sometimes they repeatedly reach out for emotional connection with their partner, only to end up in the same old disconnecting cycle that leaves them feeling alone and demoralized. Often, they appear like they have it all together yet feel isolated and unsure how to find the right kind of help.

My work is deeply influenced by experiential modalities such as Hakomi, Gestalt, Internal Family Systems,
Emotionally Focused
Therapy, and AEDP, an integrative, attachment-focused orientation that is dynamic and relational in nature.

I help you meet all of the parts of yourself with compassion and reverence, while harnessing your own innate drive towards transformation. Whether seeking help with relationships, depression, anxiety, grief, or life adjustments, we'll work collaboratively to support you at your own pace, and to do so with gentleness, dignity, and respect.

Self-doubt, shame, and rejection by the ones we love are some of the most psychologically painful experiences a person can endure. Any one or combination of these three can leave us spinning in confusion and frustration about what to do or try to make things better. Inner peace and relationship happiness frequently lie just out of reach but it’s hard to know where to get help that’s applicable directly to you and your situation. Often it feels like we have exhausted all our options, but sometimes all that is needed is a trained eye with an unbiased perspective on the situation. This is exactly what therapy can provide for you.

I believe strongly in meeting clients where they are at and taking a collaborative approach to meeting the treatment goals of therapy. I know for some, it can be anxiety provoking to seek therapy, and I strive to create an environment that is warm and focused on the issues that matter to the client.

A favorite quote of mine is, "The truth always happens." Too often, our present truth is filled with suffering and anxiety. But we can shape our truth, to better cope with disorder or overcome pain and trauma. The therapeutic process provides insight into behaviors and actions that allows for growth in self and relationships. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults of all backgrounds, helping clients and families to understand a range of behaviors and disorders. Working together, clients learn to recognize feelings, relate them to behaviors, and develop tools to recreate their own truth.

So many people are feeling stressed and worn out these days. Anxiety, depression, loneliness, relationship coming apart, work is unfulfilling, and you are having trouble moving on in life. You are not alone. All these problems, and more, are common these days. I know it can be difficult to choose a therapist and to commit to making your life better, not only for today but for the future as well. I am here to help you.
Stefanie Clifton
Marriage & Family Therapist, MC, LMFT
Verified
I specialize in helping people improve their relationships to others like a partner or a child, but most especially to one's self. Symptoms such as depression or anxiety, or feelings of shame, can interfere with these connections. Our psyches naturally want to move towards health and growth yet we can get stuck or hopeless that relief is possible. I believe in the value of self-acceptance. Given that many trauma feelings were created in relationship, I believe we need a trusting relationship to heal. If I'm that person for you, I take that role very seriously and work hard for your hope, needs, healing, and growth.

Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, NDHCP

I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing roadblocks on their path to a more fulfilled life. Barriers to wellness are not limited to the mental realm and may include physical issues, sexual issues, relationship issues and spiritual issues. These issues interrelate and thus must all be addressed holistically. The symptom is not the cause and is often key in figuring out where the problem resides. I believe in the power of the human beings to heal themselves. I see my role as helping identify solutions and offering tools for personal growth and healing. I seek to empower my clients as they heal, grow and develop resilience.

Emotionally Focused Therapists
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an approach to therapy that helps clients identify their emotions, learn to explore and experience them, to understand them and then to manage them. Davis Emotionally Focused Therapy embraces the idea that emotions can be changed, first by arriving at or 'living' the maladaptive emotion (e.g. loss, fear or shame) in session, and then learning to transform it. Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples seeks to break the negative emotion cycles within relationships, emphasizing the importance of the attachment bond between couples, and how nurturing of the attachment bonds and an empathetic understanding of each others emotions can break the cycles.
