Therapists in Sacramento, CA

My name is Janet Rodriguez and I am a licensed clinical social worker. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I like to create a space where individuals feel safe, supported, where they can be their authentic selves and find humor in life's unpredictability. My areas of focus are depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, parenting, relationship issues, first-generation and immigrant Americans. I enjoy working with individuals who are transitioning to parenthood, want to focus on self-confidence and self-compassion, experienced family dysfunction growing up, and are looking to understand themselves better.

I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

When we lose our way we feel uncomfortable, no longer in control, and out of sorts. The goal of my practice is to help you regain clarity and balance in your life. I believe that having both allows for growth and success in the different areas of your life: work, school, personal and social relationships, parenting, sports, and networking. For nearly a decade I have been helping individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma or difficult family dynamics succeed in their daily activities and interactions so they can once again find joy in their lives. I am ready to partner with you to help you regain balance.

Hi! I'm here to help you have the life you want, as sometimes life becomes challenging, and adjusting to life changes isn't always easy.

“You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.” My clinical experience includes working with adults, children, adolescents or families who are struggling with challenging behaviors, toxic relationships and/or complex emotions. These struggles can cause profound sadness that physically hurts inside of you. I specialize in flushing out negative thought patterns and working through traumatic experiences that keeps individuals, families and couples feeling struck in an emotional vortex and trapped in recycling toxic behaviors. By working together, we can unlock your courage to ask. Everything you need to heal is inside of you!

Seeking help can be scary and exciting, and it takes a lot of bravery and courage to take the initial step. You may be feeling like you are depressed and anxious due to your trauma. I aim to meet you where you are mentally and emotionally and help you grow, learn skills, and adapt to new changes. We can work together to identify your goals and needs and address the emotional and behavioral challenges you experience.

I’m a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC).

My approach to therapy involves a balance between helping a client explore past experiences and identifying how these may be affecting them in the present. I often use culturally sensitive tools in my practice while working closely with my clients and work within an anti-oppressive and anti-racist framework. I work primarily from a client-centered model and my therapeutic approach is eclectic, which means I cater to the individual needs of my clients by incorporating elements and tools from various therapeutic approaches.

I approach psychotherapy from a whole-person perspective and I believe therapy, along with other practices, can help us awaken to a life of meaning. In therapy I will help you identify the source of your longing to be whole, and together, we will move closer to that source, so you become re-sourced. Together we will explore your innate natural cycles and help you align to your own rhythm, so that you might meet depletion with rest and energy with creativity.

Life can be incredibly difficult at times and can feel overwhelming. It is my goal to empower my clients to believe in themselves, inspire change, and to allow space for self-love. When feelings of depression and anxiety are barriers to achieving your goals, leaving you feeling unworthy of happiness, and effecting your relationships, I am here to assist you in cultivating a sense of purpose and confidence. I want to help my clients set goals for their future, find their happiness, and thrive. I am here to provide a space for you to be you- your authentic self without judgement.

I often use spirituality to address issues and struggles. I see it as an inward journey to explore who we are, finding our authentic selves, and the ability to connect with the real self. I feel my medical background helps to understand mental health scientifically while addressing mood, personality, and thinking disorders including family conflicts.

Do you turn to food, alcohol, or drugs to deal with feeling lonely or rejected, or to cope with added stress and anxiety? Have you lost the joyful feelings that you used to have in life? Do you feel fear stricken, even in the “comfort” of your own home? Do you feel like there are so many things to manage and your forever growing “to do list” leaves you feeling completely overwhelmed? I work with women who have experienced tough stuff in their childhood and feel like they have lost their way. Sometimes we turn to food, alcohol, and drugs or, we withdraw from friends and family, just to cope. Does this sound like you?

My approach tends to be cognitive behavioral in nature and I use distress tolerance techniques (DBT). I like to tailor my approach to an individual’s goals & particular needs. What that means is that I like to collaborate with a client to find active steps to take to better one’s quality of life. It is solution-focused, and brief in nature. I believe that self-care and mindfulness are essential tools for quality of life, yet we aren’t always taught how to do that for ourselves. My clients say that I am direct, yet compassionate, and that they feel validated & empowered to make changes in their lives.

Glad you're here. You may not be in the best mood, relationship, or situation, and you might be trying to help a loved one find a therapist; whatever it is - you are in the right place. My theoretical approach is always client-centered with an ecclectic treatment approach pulling from Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt, and Brainspotting therapies. I love helping people willing to explore hard things - who've had trauma - who are ready for different and want to make the most of it - who understand the importance of being true to yourself while honoring life choices for others - with strength.

Solution-focused geared toward rebuilding trust, improving communication, and increasing intimacy. With me, you will identify the causes of conflict & create a plan to increase your relationship satisfaction. I specialize in infidelity and crisis counseling, however, I treat many couples with a variety of issues. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Life Coach with over 17 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families.
