Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Arden-Arcade, Sacramento, CA

I’d like to introduce myself to you a bit. I decided to get into therapy because I struggled and still at times struggle with self-doubt, shame, and guilt. My pain doesn’t make me incapable or unable to succeed, it makes me human. My personal journey has given me empathy and passion to want to help others in similar circumstances. I grew up thinking life was meant to be hard and admitting weakness and showing emotion, besides happiness, was not ok. I had to comply and I had to hold everything in to simply survive. During many moments, I knew I needed support and needed someone who would not judge, such as a therapist like myself.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are self-motivated and looking to rediscover themselves. As someone who has had to balance multiple cultures, I know what it can feel like to straddle more than one. I want to help you find your balance between the "two worlds" of what is important to you and your family without taking away from who you are. I will work with you to tap into your inner voice, channel your strengths and become the most fulfilling version of yourself.

I primarily work with Farsi and Dari speaking refugees who have been exposed to hardship and war. I also see teenagers who are going through identity crisis and transitional periods from childhood to adulthood. I see couples coming from traditional backgrounds trying to save their marriage by adjusting to mainstream culture. Finally, I see individuals with low-self esteem, confidence, and decision making issues.

The therapeutic journey begins internally by listening to the heart when it tells us there is a need for change in our lives. Second is having the courage to admit when we need outside support to begin this change, and finally being bold enough to use our voices to seek out the assistance of a therapist. Therapy with the right therapist can be helpful to everyone. my preferred theoretical approach is client-centered. A client-centered therapeutic approach allows me to meet my clients where they are at and together develop the appropriate path forward. Other theoretical approaches include; CBT, DBT , experiential, & psychodynamic.

Many of the folks I have worked with have experienced depression, anxiety, and trauma. I bring many dialectical behavioral therapy skills into my practice, particularly focusing on mindfulness and radical acceptance as foundational tools to manage ongoing feelings. I try to approach each person I meet as the expert in their own life, and eclectically draw on my knowledge and experience to support them in whatever way they may need.

Do you find yourself back in the same negative situations with the same kind of people, over and over? Are you a 'people pleaser'? Do you take care of everyone else first? I often work with individuals, couples or families that struggle with saying 'no' and setting healthy boundaries. The people I work with generally want to feel more in control of their lives, learn to manage emotions effectively and have better relationships. With teenagers and young adults, I work together with them to bring balance into their lives, specifically because there are currently too many stressors for young people.

Every person experiences adversity at some point in their lives. Sometimes you need an unbiased therapist to help you process personal issues and see situations from a different perspective.

Together we will use a variety of techniques to facilitate healing such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming exercises, Art Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and other methods that may apply.

I am Dr. Kate Bautch, a licensed psychological associate and I work with adults, adolescents, and children, providing individual, couples, and group therapy. In our sessions I seek to create a safe space in which you feel respected, understood, and supported. From that place, we will work together to identify what is causing your pain, and how we can use your resilience and personal strengths to facilitate the positive change you are seeking.

For many people, standard 12 step-dominated substance use treatment does not work. People may tell you that your problem is a lack of willingness, or that you are in "denial." But maybe you need someone to listen to you rather than talk at you. The fact that these programs do not work for you does not mean that you are not capable of change. It probably just means that you have not found an approach that addresses your individual needs and values.
