Therapists in Placerville, CA

Let's work together! I can offer education, a sounding board, and opportunities for insight as you reflect and work to improve your life and that of your loved ones. With practical tools and a compassionate heart, your journey can become more effective, more satisfying. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you step into the office, away from the busy pace of life, a place where you step further into yourself. Knowing yourself and having the tools to gain that knowledge can be pivotal to your well-being and that of your family's.

My specialty is working with the parents of children ages 2-12 with various sensory, emotional, behavioral and academic challenges. These issues are often the result of an underdeveloped nervous system that can be caused by a variety of factors, including pre- and peri-natal trauma (i.e. medical complications, neglect, abuse, etc.) Fortunately, you can go back and help repair where these issues are rooted. And the best news of all - it is a very loving, connecting and empowering process for you and your child.

I have worked alongside families wishing to do their best for their children and themselves for over forty years. There are times when journeys through life get challenging and support and guidance from a compassionate person is all that is needed to meet that challenge and move forward with confidence, strength, and capability. I will work with you if you are concerned about your child's behavior, your parenting, your ability to balance parenting, work and important relationships and/or your own emotional health.

The Center offers clinical counseling through our Associate Clinical Counselor, Rich Lamm, who specializes in addictions, depression and anxiety, anger issues, and trauma-related disorders. His current passion is working with individuals with traumatic pasts who wish to overcome their struggles and bring new meaning to their lives.

Much of talk therapy works from the top down. Work/talk with the rational mind (neocortex) and hopefully you will change the emotional mind (limbic system/brainstem). This is a slow process akin to trying to heal a cold with a box of tissue. It can certainly alleviate the symptoms, but it misses the root of the problem. Emotional suffering and trauma live in the non-rational parts of the brain that don't listen very well to talking and thinking. My practice invites you to go straight to the root of the problem by accessing emotional suffering, trauma, and attachment wounds directly through insight from the body and nervous system.

I am currently offering Telehealth sessions through video conferencing. I work with individuals, couples and parents that are seeking a change. As your therapist, I will help you identify patterns that are causing you distress and teach you skills that will decrease unwanted behaviors.

I believe therapy can be fun and transforming! Therapy is like getting a tune-up for your car. If your car is 18 years old, it might be time to do some maintenance! This is okay; you want your car to run well! Therapy is for the client, YOU. And you are an integral part in your own therapy. You create your own goals; I only help facilitate those goals. I see myself as a guide, someone to help you put the puzzle pieces together to create a fuller, more complete, life. A life that is filled with deeper meaning and sense of purpose. Main Therapeutic Approaches: Logo Therapy (Viktor Frankl) and Cognitive, both of which are direct.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over ten years. I have been on a life journey that will continue forever because we never stop creating a greater, more powerful self. Why would we do that? It feels encapsulating to be struck in a box of epic proportions feeling there is no door opening to the best of you! We live in a world that lives in denial of its truths. The truth helps you begin to walk on the journey of healing.

Please use email for a response from me. Psychotherapy should be used to enhance the life you already live. Most of the time, we do well in our daily routines. All of us have ...let's say..our weak links. We excel in our careers, but we feel lonely, or we want to better communicate with our partner but don't know where to start. Everyone has little areas that confound us. Sometimes we need a private place to begin to find a different path.

In my practice, I use clinical hypnotherapy to help clients resolve issues of emotional trauma, overcome bad habits and self-defeating behaviors, and deal with any other issues interfering with their lives, work, or relationships. Hypnotherapy is invaluable for weight loss, smoking cessation, chronic pain management, drug dependency, and self-esteem issues, including non-medical impotence and low libido. Because clinical hypnosis accesses the subconscious directly, it is extremely effective in the treatment of psychosomatic issues and fears. For example, I also work with dentists' patients who have severe phobic issues with dentistry or who are unable to tolerate anesthesia.
