Black and African American Therapists in Sacramento, CA
Therapy shouldn't feel like starting over every session. You deserve more than a being known by diagnosis or what brought you to therapy. You deserve a therapist who knows you—your story, strengths, patterns, values, and goals. I combine evidence-based approaches with a deep commitment to understanding the whole person because you're more than your challenges. I've intentionally designed my practice to prioritize continuity, making it easy for established clients to schedule appointments and reserving space each week when extra support is needed.

Hello! I am Charlene Wright, and I began my journey as a therapist five years ago. Since then, I have had the privilege of supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, mood instability, and trauma.

Most people see you as someone who has it all together, but on the inside, it often feels like you’re just managing the load. Whether it’s the pressure of high-performance, a relationship that feels more like a source of stress than support, or past experiences that keep you "on edge," carrying it alone is a heavy burden. You’re likely tired of just "getting through the week" and are ready for something to actually change. (If you are a parent or caregiver struggling in your relationship with a child), these books may provide some support. Find them at www. randysimslmft. com

I specialize in working with teens, athletes, and men because I identify with these groups in a way that allows me to meaningfully connect with clients. As a student athlete, I relate to issues of performance anxiety and pressure. As a person who used to struggle with depression and anxiety, I know what it takes to manage disruptive symptoms. And as a husband and father, I can identify with the struggles of prioritizing relationships and maintaining a work-life balance. These unique perspectives make me suited to work with individuals who often don’t have the privilege of seeing themselves in the counseling spaces.

You’re used to being capable, responsible, and able to figure things out. But lately, you may not feel like yourself. Your hormones and body are changing. Your emotions feel different, and the way you experience your relationships, work, or even your identity may have shifted. You know something is happening—you may not have the language for it yet.

Life can become overwhelming, even the simplest moments can feel heavy. Anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, and emotional pain have a way of stealing your sense of peace, disrupting your relationships, and making you feel disconnected from the person you want to be. If you are carrying burdens that feel too heavy to manage alone, you are not failing — you are human. And you deserve a safe, supportive space to heal, rebuild, and rediscover your strength. My practice is built on the belief that every person has the capacity for growth, and transformation when they are met with compassion, and understanding. Start healing today!
