Family Therapy in Sacramento, CA

Transitional Experiences happen! Kids' families become disjointed from divorce. Tweens become Teens. Individuals in their early 20's wonder what the next step is "for them". 30-somethings sometime face life-path decisions, maybe even boredom? Beloved pets or family members pass away. Married people are suddenly "single-again". the mid-life 50's often come with health issues that completely throw people for a loop! The 60+ often involve taking care of aging parents or are facing the death experience themselves! Grandparents sometimes find themselves raising their children's children! What is going ON?

Imagine feeling peace-even in the face of life's challenges. Anxiety and depression. Relationship problems with partners, family members, or others. Divorce, death, and other tragedies. Imagine knowing you have the emotional awareness and the skills you need to deal with whatever life brings you. The wherewithal to meet challenges, to achieve better outcomes, and - ultimately - to heal the wounds that can make peace seem elusive or fleeting. The choice to seek therapy is itself a big step toward healing. My role is to help guide you as you move through self-discovery, to self-awareness, to self-direction.

Giving yourself a space dedicated to self-reflection is so helpful. I work with adolescents, often highly accomplished adults, and couples in my practice. I help clients meet their own goals by building a strong relationship, encouraging reflection, and exploring alternatives. I am warm, engaging, and well trained. In my work with clients, we look at the influence of a client's family -of-origin, their current stressors and challenges, and the relationship that unfold between the client and myself. I assist my clients to work through their challenges, so they have more choices to live a more authentic life.

What do you want? What are you doing to get it? Is it working, and if not, what can you do differently? Your personal goals for therapy, once defined, will be at the heart of our work together. I'll support you in applying your strengths, deepening your sense of connection to yourself and those you love, and finding healthy ways to relate to negative thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Suffering is part of the human condition, but together, we can learn to respond to it skillfully. Slowing down, healing and integrating life experiences will be our focus!

I have a clinical and consulting practice in Midtown working with individuals and couples on parenting, women's issues, relationship violence, and anger management.

Specific client populations I work with include executives, men and women of color, adolescents (and families), and domestic violence offenders.

Hello! I am Stephen Taft, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist . We all reach points in our life when we need some additional support to break out of problem patterns or to manage difficult issues. If you have been experiencing trouble in your relationships, anxiety, depression or have been feeling overwhelmed; it may be a good time to start therapy. Together we can work to build upon your personal strengths to support your growth in order to create a happier and healthier life.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of control? I offer effective and compassionate psychotherapy services to adults, teens, children, and families. I specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. You'll find me to be a compassionate listener, working with you to help you achieve the changes you would like to see in your life. Together we will identify and develop your strengths and interests so you can achieve your goals. I offer a safe place for you to talk about your fears and worries, body image and self-esteem struggles, relationship challenges, career and life transitions.

Are you worried about your marriage? Is your adopted child or teen struggling with loss or attachment challenges. Do you wish you had better family relationships? I created American River Family Counseling, because I believe that everyone deserves to have healthy and connected relationships. At American River Family Counseling, we define family the way you do! We serve single and two parent families, adopted, foster and blended families. We provide therapy for adults, couples, children and teens using an attachment focused approach.

The idea that one learns by experiencing and is truly capable of making the necessary shifts in their lives is a mantra I live by. When one person mirrors another with gentle listening, others are able to clearly see what no longer works in their lives. Ingrained habits coming from difficult childhoods could be the very source of havoc, that with conscious awareness, can shift. Perhaps the way one communicates is keeping love from flowing in your life. Maybe parenting a child who reminds you of yourself means confronting yourself on a deeply personal level. Or perhaps it is simply a life transition that is simply too much.

I hope to support you in accessing your true authentic self, reaching your personal goals, and learning to live with the imperfect parts of you. I firmly believe that we all deserve space to explore our thoughts, feelings, opinions, and values, without judgement. I support individuals with difficulties managing anxiety, body image, trauma, relationship distress, career challenges, LGBTQ+ needs, and the pressures of our roles within our family system.

My name is Lourdes Medina and am bilingual Spanish Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist . I am passionate about helping individuals at different phases of life, break cycles associated with generational trauma and unhealthy patterns, in order to find their voice, set boundaries and develop a better version of themselves.

I appreciate getting to know the patient as a human being and being able to assist each patient in becoming a better version of themselves.

My clients most often describe me as calm, and they feel safe creating a healing space together. I love the diversity of human life and enjoy working with people of all ages. Through our work together, you may recover from upsetting experiences and feel greater ease in life.
