Therapists in Esparto, CA

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have broad professional experience as a mediator, conflict management consultant, educator, and trainer. I bring the skills I've acquired in these roles to my therapy work. We humans are adaptive beings. When we adopt behaviors and mindsets that do not serve us, we may feel stuck, fearful, or intensely unhappy. Thankfully, we can modify our thinking and behaviors to promote a life of growth, happiness and healthy relationships. I provide skilled support to help repair troubled relationships and re-route unproductive thinking and behavior patterns.

It’s hard to be human. There are no manuals on how to deal with our thoughts and emotions. Sitting with vulnerability can be scary and uncomfortable. As a Client-Centered clinician I plan to meet you in the here and now and help get you to where you want to be in a holistically happy and healthy manner. We all could use a bit of guidance, and at times, a push in the right direction.

My approach focuses on helping you understand yourself and develop a compassionate relationship with your Self. With humor and gentleness, I will help you find blind spots and obstacles and help you clear the way to your best life. Along the way, I can teach you how to listen and trust your Self, empower you and give you tools to navigate life's most difficult obstacles. I especially enjoy working with people from various backgrounds and concerns such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, abuse and trauma, relationship issues, parenting problems, grief, life transitions, feeling "stuck" and stagnant, and existential questions.

I enjoy working with adults of all ages to address anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and provide compassionate guidance while navigating personal challenges. I view therapy as a collaborative process that offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into your internal and external worlds, relationships, and address your aspirations and goals. My therapeutic approach is warm, supportive, creative, and engaging.

Currently Accepting New Patients. Trained in EMDR and BSP. I specialize in working with people of color and all others who need support. I also come from a Christian perspective, although I am open to working with people from all backgrounds. I have been formerly trained in trauma-informed practices and I am a Certified WRAP Facilitator. I sincerely care about helping people overcome their tragedies and I whole-heartedly support recovery from trauma, addictions, and life experiences that could potentially provide setbacks. I believe the saying, "A setback is a setup for a comeback!"

My integrative approach to therapy is tailored to meet clients' unique and specific needs. This therapeutic style helps one explore core beliefs and facilitates growth towards inner strength and resilience. Through empathy, warmth, and positive self-regard, I create space for clients to believe and trust in themselves.

I know first hand that healing from trauma and "the dark nights of the soul" are not only possible, but hold within them a gateway to more love and joy. No one goes through life without pain. Yet how we address our pain will make all the difference in how deeply we suffer, how resilient we are and how much we grow from these experiences. I will infuse our collaboration with compassion, acceptance, curiosity, and humor--focusing on your strengths.

It can feel like the sky is falling. There is more confusion, fear, and uncertainty than ever before. This can be debilitating as we struggle to get out of bed, our work performance suffers and then we find ourselves alone and isolated not knowing how to get back to our previous “normal”. We are constantly overstimulated, told what we ought to be, as we become lost with no way to cope. Talk Therapy combined with a safe place to feel heard and understood can guide us to make sense of it all and progress to a higher state of functioning.

I know it takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to seek therapy, so I am glad that you are here! If you are looking for extra support or looking to move in a new direction, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. I utilize highly effective evidence-based treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. My clinical experience has given me the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, and adults over the past 10 years. I am passionate about helping individuals like you find the path to healing and growth.

When the way you usually handle things is no longer working for you, it's time to look in to changing yourself. Change your thoughts and you really can change your world. Difficulties with others in your life as well as emotions you are struggling with can be looked at differently and lead to increased peace and happiness. Panic, Anxiety, Excessive Worry, Depression and Anger can all arise from thoughts that trigger your fight or flight response. Change your thinking and you can change how you feel and how you behave.

Are you going through a painful life transition? Feel lost? Or that your life needs meaning? Or are you stressed by a relationship or past trauma? I have a psychodynamic/attachment based perspective, and I firmly believe that by connecting current issues with your past life experiences is meaningful and allows for important healing. I also believe that healing takes place within a strong therapeutic relationship, and connection is essential. I have extensive knowledge of trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, marriage and parenting concerns, developmental disabilities and learning disabilities. Visit jenniesinger.com.

Hello there, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about self-discovery, exploration, and healing. I am passionate to help individuals improve their satisfaction and happiness in their lives. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy (SFT). CBT treatment involves identifying and challenging negative or distorted thoughts. SFT treatment involves identifying goals and developing a plan to achieve those goals.

Do you need support and guidance in your life? Do you need to heal from or strengthen a relationship in your life? Maybe that relationship is with yourself, partner or family member. Do you have a teen that is struggling and as a family feel you are in a crisis? I have been providing crisis services to teens and families for over 20 years. Over the years, my skills and interest in helping others has also broadened to include adults, trauma and substance abuse.

My specialties include Spiritual Psychology and working with Women of Color. I intend to empower you with tools for healing, change, and personal fulfillment. I provide a holistic approach that combines ancient traditions with evidence-based practices. I believe everyone has the wisdom within themselves to know what is needed for healing and transformation. Courageously accepting an invitation to explore your unique path in this human experience can expand your view of seeing all the different ways you can show up for life.

It's not 2020 any more, but there's still grief over time "lost"; concern about whether your life and career are going in the right direction; and fear about what the future holds. Many of us have recognized the need for changes both big and small in our lives, but that doesn't mean we know how to move forward . . . and some of the same blocks that were there before the pandemic are still getting in the way!

The clients that are drawn to working with me are individuals who are determined to free themselves from emotional oppression. Negative life experiences can hinder our ability to grow into our full potential and can cause us to engage in unhealthy relationships with ourselves, the ones we love and the world around us. It is with love and compassion that I work in partnership with my clients to discover what inner wounds and needs there are to be tended to.
