Therapists in Elk Grove, CA

Let's face it, our world is changing rapidly. We're facing issues that our parents never even imagined. I'll help you process your experiences, offer perspective, and teach you skills to help you in your journey called life. I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet my client's individual and specific needs. My personal belief is that people are not damaged, they just might be stuck, and in need of assistance.

Wonderful! You took the first step by taking the time to care for yourself. Everyone is capable of deep healing, growth and connection. Life can be challenging and sometimes we need the support of a professional to make space for our personal healing and growth. Someone to help guide us towards clarity and fulfillment in our lives.

Accepting new clients! Sometimes dealing with grief or trauma can lead a person to feel alone and isolated. I consider it an honor to help break that isolation while walking alongside clients as they navigate the challenges and obstacles life has thrown their way. My passion is working with individuals who have experienced trauma, and I believe that every person’s trauma is as unique as their fingerprint.

During our lives we all need a place where we feel safe, comfortable, and supported to help us give direction to the lives we aspire to. Sometimes that is realizing that we need to seek help from a third-party, non-judgmental professional to help build the tools and confidence to get there. If you need help making changes in your life, big or small, this can be a great place to start. We will work on what you want to feel more of and what you want to feel less of.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or challenging relationships? Are you experiencing a loss of a sense of self or struggling to navigate major life changes (e.g. life transitions, loss, brain injury, chronic illness, and incarceration)? Do you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in old patterns, unsure where to even begin? You don’t have to feel alone in this process. There is support available to address all of your difficulties, big or small, with hope and courage. I believe change is possible.

Hello, I’m Jade. I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. My passion began in 2010 when I received the opportunity to coach junior high girls, and high school Boys volleyball. I found myself counseling athletes about balancing school, relationships, and the game of volleyball. This experience inspired me to learn about the psychological aspects of balancing life while experiencing emotions. I discontinued coaching and pursued my Bachelor’s degree in psychology at Argosy University and later I received a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at Alliant International University.

Deciding what I wanted to be when I grew up was an easy choice. I always gravitated toward working with people and working on teams. I find that therapy is a team effort with an important goal in mind. As a therapist, I have grown accustomed to using cognitive behavioral frameworks in my practice, as well as utilizing concepts and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy depending on client needs. Additionally, I am a Registered Art Therapist. Though art therapy is not the appropriate modality all the time, I often find that solutions can come when we open ourselves to something new.

Hello, I'm Mika! I’m a California girl who has lived in both Northern and Southern California. I received my Bachelor’s degree from American University in Political Science and my Masters in Social Work from Boston University. I am an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) who loves working with adults who are searching for the tools to achieve understanding, balance and peace in their lives.

The way in which a person cultivates their sense of self, self-esteem, and relationships with others, can be extremely important in their path to wellness. My goal is to meet every client where they are in their journey to mental health and wellness, which means we start where you are and not where I think you should be. I believe that everyone has the capacity to become their best selves and that my work is to provide a safe, helpful, and non-judgmental, environment for those who I am working with.

Hi there! Empowered Choice Psychotherapy (ECP) began from my desire to work with individuals who are seeking personal growth, strength, self-assurance, centering, healing and most importantly, peace of mind. My therapeutic style is to assist the person in examining their story and present symptoms. I utilize an eclectic treatment approach. Through client empowerment, my aim is to guide my clientele to let go of what is no longer serving them and develop ways of meeting their own unique emotional needs.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, as the world moves faster, it has become increasingly difficult to make meaningful connections, to live with purpose and to make sense of our experiences. Pushing away your needs and not taking the time to connect with yourself and understand who you are–who you want to be, can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

Life is expected to have ups and downs and that is unavoidable. The therapeutic relationship that I hope to bring to our sessions is one of compassion, understanding, empathy, and openness to differences without judgment. It is my belief that everyone on this planet strives to have a good quality of life and can become overwhelmed with constant disappointments, self-doubt, and a sense of feeling lost.
