My awareness of human sexuality rises above my own personal opinion and experiences. I affirm all sexual orientations and transgender experience. I help people reclaim their authentic sexual selves within their particular spiritual/religious/lifeview practice and I tailor my treatment to best fit each individual client. I address a client's sexual issues directly. I don't sidestep the sex part to deal with the other issues in the relationship, although I don't ignore them either. Physiological, psychological, emotional and spiritual processes, are all a part of human sexuality and I understand that an integrated approach is necessary.

Hi, I am Karen and I enjoy therapeutic work with individuals and couples. Although I work with a number of mental health issues I especially enjoy working with depression, anxiety, grief, emotional trauma, self-loathing, self-esteem, shame and spirituality. As a therapist my goal is to help clients live to their true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While together we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to help you better understand and resolve the problems you currently face.

I am a Harvard-trained psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, and life's challenges. My treatment approach is collaborative, interactive, holistic (examining all factors that affect your functioning), and strength-based (identifying your strengths). I focus on symptom reduction and skills-building to optimize your quality of life. I will work with you to tailor a treatment plan that meets your specific needs and goals. I am bilingual in Vietnamese. My office is located in Midtown and is half a block from the light rail.

Are you feeling disconnected from the important people in your life? Does your life feel overwhelming or out of control ? Are you worried about your marriage or relationship ? Do you feel overwhelmed with being a parent & wonder if you are doing a "good enough" job? Are you frustrated you can't kick certain compulsive or addictive habits? Are you still affected by past traumatic experiences ? I know this can feel tiring and overwhelming. Let me help. You don't have to feel like this any longer.

I applaud you for the courage it takes to explore personal change and enrich your life to achieve your personal goals. I assure you that whatever fears, regrets, resentment or grief you are carrying, you are not alone and there is a path to a lighter and brighter life. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to explore your inner wisdom as you navigate solutions to life experiences. I cultivate a welcoming, supportive and safe environment while understanding what "speaks" to you for therapy to be effective. Each person is unique, therefore my therapeutic approach is tailored to match the needs of the individual and situation.

I am a Catholic Christian therapist. I provide therapeutic services that stay true to traditional Catholic and Christian values. I especially enjoy integrating the faith into sessions, while utilizing evidenced based practices and counseling techniques. I work with individuals of all faith backgrounds, though my speciality is working with the Catholic & Christian population.

My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, collaborative and understanding. I strive to create an environment where my clients feel safe to openly explore the challenges of life and relationships without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. I enjoy the opportunity to learn about the unique strengths, perspectives and abilities of my clients, while working with them to create a path for change. I am passionate about personal empowerment and self compassion and strive to help my clients love and understand themselves in a new way.

We often find ourselves stuck in old patterns that no longer serve us. This can lead to feelings of restlessness, uncertainty, resentment, and loneliness. You may crave to feel seen and valued for all that you are. Perhaps you seek a sense of love and security. I am proud of you for taking the steps to heal. I view the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of healing. I hold a safe space by leading with curiosity, empathy, humor, and compassion. I will meet you with patience wherever you are on your journey and will not push you towards quick fixes.

Today you're a step closer to making meaningful changes in your life and carving your own path toward growth, fulfillment, and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, I'll collaborate with and support you to cope more effectively with anxiety and depression, uncover and develop your potential, build a sense of belonging and strengthen healthy relationships, and accomplish what's uniquely important to you. While you can't change what's happened in the past, it's never too late to reach a better understanding of the life patterns that are limiting you and begin to create a better life aligned with your values and goals.

CRiY Therapeutic Services provides culturally diverse psychotherapy and counseling services to individuals, couples, and families residing in Sacramento, California. I work with clients experiencing PTSD, depression, anger issues, anxiety, grief & loss, trauma, and abuse. I specialize in multicultural issues and mental health challenges that present in adults, teens, athletes, and individuals with Sickle Cell disease and other chronic health conditions.

I believe the answers we are searching for are found within ourselves. It may take the support and trust of a skillful therapist in feeling safe in revealing our true selves and bringing purpose and meaning to our lives. By uncovering the blocks and developing the courage to shine a light on our authentic self, you discover the self you have been seeking. I'll support you in developing a plan that best serves your goals towards a path of self discovery and empowerment. I feel personal growth is connected to mind, body and spirit.

I focus on healing the wounds that have created internal negative "stories" about ourselves and the world to help people reconnect with their original creative, powerful, loving selves. Clients learn stress reduction and self-nurturing techniques to support themselves on the journey through processing trauma and throughout their lives. As clients heal from the past, they then learn new ways to communicate and interact effectively with others and to create the lives they wish to live.

Are you looking for a therapist who does more than just listen? I strive to understand; and to help you understand. I help clients stay focused on what they want MORE of in their lives. We also pay attention to what obstacles and maladaptive coping mechanisms are at play. While it is essential to learn to be present with what is currently happening, our work will sometimes reach to heal the past. This gives you the freedom and inner spaciousness to reach toward a better future.

Each of us deserve to lead a happy and healthy life. Yet life's challenges can be overwhelming and seem unresolvable. I provide non-judgmental feed-back to help you clarify those challenges, your goals, options and your own inner strengths. Knowing our strengths and making our own choices are steps toward the life we want. My experience includes trauma (such as sexual abuse and other issues specific to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), victims of domestic abuse and/or violence, mood disorders, depression, alcohol and drug issues and those with dual diagnoses.

Hi there! Welcome to one more step in your search for the life you want. Therapy is one way to increase joy, be reminded of whats wonderful about yourself, and overcome the barriers that have blocked you in the past. It also gives you the tools to continue that process. Collaboratively we strengthen your sense of worth so that you have the energy and motivation to work toward your personal goals. Increasing self-compassion and awareness frees an individual from the habits or ruts we all tend to dip into in life.
