Female Therapists in Fresno, CA

Hello, I am Katrina Duersch an Associate Clinical Social Worker, ACSW. I have experience working with children, teens, adults, and all genders. As we go through life we run into challenges that seem too big to handle on our own or have carried them alone for too long. Have you been short of breath, feeling like you are failing at life, or stayed in bed too long for the last week, or couple weeks? The aim is to work collaboratively with people to help them build their toolbox to be better equipped to handle life’s situations.

Hi I am Candyce Spruel a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT). I have been counseling for over 20 years. I am a client centered humanistic therapist. I approach every situation with a non-judgmental and empathic view. I am client focused and I met my clients where they are. I work with clients who have symptoms of anxiety, depression and psychosis. Many of my clients are survivors of childhood trauma.

Some problems can seem larger than they are. We need to get above them and see them from another perspective. That’s difficult to do because when we think about them, we always see it the same way. We may avoid thinking about it because that just makes us feel worse. Some say, why talk about it, that doesn’t help. However, you have not talked but thought about it. If you talk to someone who can see it from a different perspective, that helps shift thoughts in another more insightful direction and that’s the road to real change.

I believe that in order to become better versions of ourselves, we need to first work towards healing and processing our past wounds.  Sometimes our wounds and past traumas can hold us back from being better partners, parents, and individuals.  It is important for me to provide you with a safe and nurturing environment to heal and grow. My focus throughout the past years has been providing culturally responsive care as well as LGBTQIA2+ affirming care while working with clients toward their goals, building upon their strengths, and facilitating an environment for growth toward self-acceptance and self-empowerment.

Hello, my name is Desirae Spignor. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, integrating my education and lived experience into my practice. In my experience trauma (historical, environmental, interpersonal, etc.) has been the root cause of most behavioral health and even some medical issues. If we work on ways to alleviate the impacts of trauma(s) on our lives it'll directly impact our overall wellness. This is why I've spent my time as a Behavioral Health Specialist focused on learning/unlearning about trauma and how impacts us.
