Adults Therapists in Midtown, Sacramento, CA

My goal as a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist is to help you find solutions to your problems or life decisions. I strive to allow a safe and nurturing environment for healing and growth. I have a warm, engaging and non- judgmental approach to help you achieve your goals. My experience includes 16 years as a therapist in Santa Clara County specializing in dual diagnosis and the juvenile justice system. I look forward to providing mental health services to adults , adolescents and families in my private practice here in Sacramento County.

It is hard to be a parent...and in the middle of a pandemic? Unbelievably hard. Many families that were healthy before COVID-19 are facing new issues that are causing chaos at home. Families that were already struggling are even more vulnerable during this time. Distance learning, working from home, and being isolated from other members of your support system can turn your family upside down. Even after this pandemic is “over”, mental health challenges may linger.

There are times when we need a little help getting through the anxiety, worry and other stressors that pull us down. The function of counseling is a journey of self-exploration, meant to increase the level of self-understanding and self-awareness. It is my job as the counselor to help foster and nurture that level of growth by creating a safe and supportive environment. People change in a variety of ways therefore I use several psychological theories to practice from.

I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I have been working as a therapist for 9 years. In my work, I am fortunate to have worked with both children and adults struggling in childhood abuse, traumatic experiences, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. In addition, I work with adults with Substance Abuse Disorder, caregivers caring for a mentally ill loved one, functional life skills, relationship issues, and parenting.

I imagine you're here because you're feeling ready for change. It's reassuring to know it's never too late to ignite curiosity about yourself and learn how to develop secure, healthy connections to others, find relief from anxiety, depression, and stress, and handle emotional challenges more confidently. When you're struggling, it takes courage to let go of what's limiting you to make room for a fulfilling life. I can collaborate with you in the process of identifying, understanding, and reworking ineffective patterns and building new skills and behavior to create the meaningful and satisfying life experiences you desire.

My hope is that the safe and supportive environment I seek to create will be a place where you can openly process difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. When you work with me in therapy, I will assist you in finding the tools and skills needed to live your life more effectively. I know that the challenges you may be facing right now can feel really big and overwhelming and I am here to sit with you in your pain and to help you make positive changes in your life, in part by accessing the wisdom and strength you already hold within.

Do you worry that you're "too sensitive," too easily overwhelmed or that "you need to toughen up"? You might feel like there's something wrong with you that needs to be fixed. Maybe you've been feeling down-in-the-dumps or maybe this worry is feeding into depression and anxiety. Did you know you might be a Highly Sensitive Person (AKA empath)? My team and I specialize in working with sensitive adults and teens striving to understand themselves and thrive with their sensitivity to have happier, more fulfilled lives. If you're yearning to develop a clear, compassionate, whole sense of who you are, call us today!

I believe that therapy is a powerful force in dealing with the emotions and difficulties that arise in daily life. It is my belief that in order for therapy to be effective, there must be trust between the client and therapist. Drawing heavily on humanistic theory, I utilize a collaborative, integrative approach to psychotherapy. I use strengths-based interventions to develop a strong therapeutic relationship and assist clients in the process of healing. I have training in the treatment of depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance use/abuse, self-esteem issues, and trauma-related symptoms in adolescents, adults , and veterans.

Sometimes, on our journeys in life, we reach obstacles that seem impossible to overcome. It is at these times, that we need a little help in finding a new direction or way of coping. I would be honored to walk with you on your journey and help you develop new skills/thoughts that can help you have a fuller, healthier, and more positive life. I can help you get a better sense of yourself and find strengths from within. I enjoy working with young children, school-aged children, teens, young adults , adults , couples, the elderly and families.

I have been a therapist for over twenty-five years and have had the opportunity to work with many different clients and circumstances along the way. I provide therapy for children, adolescents, adults , and families. I am constantly amazed by the strength and perseverance of my clients and I greatly appreciate that they allow me into their lives so that we may work through their challenges together. In particular, I have worked extensively with children and parents, many of divorced families. My adult clients are often dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and childhood issues.

In my practice, I blend a warm, compassionate and respectful approach along with solid science and practical experience. Clients find that the simple act of talking in therapy provides a wealth of information which in turn brings decisions about what to do. My special areas of focus Include work with abuse and trauma survivors, relationship and intimacy issues, work concerns, culture and identity concerns, & chronic illness and health. I welcome adults and adolescents to my practice, and offer individual, couples and family therapy.

I help adults and teens who want to be seen, empowered, and grow. I specialize in relationships, trauma, and people who feel "othered" (whether that is within a relationship, socially, or globally). You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or full of pain-it's so hard sometimes! I support people looking for a therapeutic space that acknowledges systems and environments, and how identities and oppression affect mental health, connection, and community well-being. I strive to create a safe and reflective space, that is social justice and trauma informed. Visit lovehealgrow.com to schedule or learn more!

Thinking about finding a therapist can be a challenging task. Will I like this person? Will he or she treat me with kindness and respect? Will this person judge me or make me feel worse than I already feel? Do I even need therapy? Do not let these thoughts deny you the opportunity of developing a healthy therapeutic relationship with a therapist that you trust. It is within the safety of this unique relationship that positive, life changes can occur. Please take time to read about my practice below and see if I would be a good fit for you.

Hi! I'm Tracy! I specialize in working with adults who experience depression, a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. It can affect how you feel, think, and behave. It can affect your daily life activities, sleep, social life, appetite, and even cause physical problems. There are many possible causes of depression, including genetic vulnerability, stressful life events, and faulty mood regulation by the brain. I am here to help with all of that.

(NOTE: I am currently seeing clients via phone, videoconference and in-person.) I have been working in the mental health field with children, families and adults for over twenty five years. My clients mostly include first responders (police, fire, etc.), those dealing with trauma, complex families, and bereaved parents dealing with infant loss. I specialize in offering crisis response and facilitating critical incident stress debriefings for law enforcement, fire departments, and private sector organizations in the Bay Area and Greater Sacramento area, as well as for the State of California.

I treat adults suffering from anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties in my midtown Sacramento office. I've found success working with intelligent people stuck in situations they can't think their way out of. I enjoy challenging cases and working with diverse clients. I enjoy LGBT clients, people struggling with existential issues, and busy people trying to balance life with career. I have extensive experience working with treatment-resistant Depression, Anxiety, and Bipolar Disorders and can often help clients with innovative treatments. I am also Past President of the Sacramento Valley Psychological Association.

Sometimes life doesn’t go the way we plan, and it's difficult to know how to navigate through the challenges we confront. Finding a therapist can be intimidating, and it takes courage to take the first step--so congratulations! Building rapport and trust are essential toward developing a collaborative therapeutic relationship. Therapy should never be a “one size fits all” approach, and I hope to help you feel validated and supported by acknowledging your own unique life journey. I work hard at creating an emotionally safe environment where you can feel free from biases and judgment.

I received my Master's degree from the Boston University School of Social Work, and specialized training in addiction treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy and brief therapy at the Cambridge Hospital/Harvard Medical School.

I provide psychotherapy primarily for adults , in a solution focused manner. I facilitate a person's ability to understand circumstances, their strengths, and coping skills. I help a person consider life changing decisions, and explore positive growth. I work across emotional, health and developmental challenges, using the approach that best matches the person's needs. My goal is to provide a safe, respectful environment to better optimize a person's growth and change.

I work with adults of any age willing to engage in therapy to heal, grow or simply feel better. I am able to work with a variety of people from different populations due to my non-judgmental stance and curiosity about other people. I am adept at working with individuals who experience multiple problems simultaneously due to my willingness to work with other providers and supportive group/individual services. I specialize in dealing with chronic/developmental trauma, managing psychological sequelae due to chronic medical conditions, and working with anxiety and depression with cultural curiosity and humility.
