Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Sacramento, CA

(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 have committed myself to meeting clients where they are and providing a safe environment for individuals to process and embrace their authentic selves. My approach is behavioral and psychodynamic while pulling from mindfulness, family systems, trauma informed and DBT. I specialize in the treatment of complex childhood trauma , dissociative disorders, attachment and abandonment issues, self-harm and self-regulation issues, as well as individuals who struggle with borderline personality disorder. I also have a vast experience with depression, bipolar and anxiety.

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.

Accepting New Clients! - I'm a therapist who treats trauma , anxiety, and depression. I also welcome clients who identify as BIPOC or LGBTQ+ especially gender diverse clients (transgender, non-binary, agender, intersex). I work with people age 10 and up. After 5 years as a therapist, I have honed skills which support clients in identifying triggers, gaining insight, and feeling safe.

Perhaps you are having difficulties in your primary relationships, perhaps there are stressors at work, perhaps you face a great choice and several obstacles are hindering your clarity and peace. I have been honored to witness individuals and couples overcome many barriers that initially seemed insurmountable. Based on my experience and the lived experience of those I work with I believe that a full, happy, and peaceful life is within reach for everyone who seeks it.

Are you an "overthinker" or overachiever wanting to work through harsh attitudes you hold about yourself, or seeking to resolve pain from the past? Perhaps you need relief from intense worry, anxiety, PTSD /complex trauma , overwhelming emotions, depression, trouble sleeping, or nightmares. Or you might be seeking to grow as a person and needing to talk through the complexities of your most important relationships with someone trained to ask just the right questions. If these are the kinds of issues you’re grappling with now, therapy is a wonderful place to start, and one of the most meaningful investments you can make in yourself.

If you are looking for relief from life’s difficulties, you’re in the right place. You don’t have to face life’s personal struggles and stressful situations alone. If you are suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma , addiction, relationship difficulties or other sensitive life transitions, therapy may be an effective solution. A compassionate therapist can offer you support and help you find your way through current life challenges. You’ve already begun a step towards relief and change simply by considering counseling. My goal is to be an understanding and trustworthy partner in the process of creating positive life changes.

I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I am a military combat Veteran with a practical and real-world approach to therapy and working with the needs of clients. Using current and ground breaking therapeutic models I am able to relate and help clients living in the 21st century with 21st Century issues.

My name is Del and I use They/Them pronouns. I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker and Gender Diversity Educator. I’m queer (LGBTQQIA2+) friendly, and provide a non-judgemental space to explore non-traditional sexuality and identity. I specialize in LGBTQQIA2+ issues, Trauma Recovery, and Living with Disabilities. Whether you are in a major life transition or struggling with identity issues, past trauma , or emotional upheaval, therapy can be useful in clarifying your goals and shaping your future. You are the author of your story and you have the ultimate say in what you want and how you want to achieve it.

Do you find yourself unhappy in your current relationship with self or others, or have you forgotten what it means to “be yourself?” Maybe it’s that you don’t feel safe in your body or with emotional intimacy, or that you feel disconnected from who you are. You’re thinking that therapy will help, but what do you need? Is it skills to get through the day? To overcome past trauma or current family conflict? To feel more connected to yourself and others? Maybe that’s the hope you have for yourself or your teen and why you want to start counseling, but you need something more than accessing and understanding emotions, you want change.

It can be overwhelming to ask for help, but you may have been thinking it’s time to reach out for support to a therapist. You want to understand your current struggles and how to navigate through it. You want to feel comfortable talking to someone you don’t know and want to feel supported. You may be feeling stuck on how to get support for symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and/or relationship struggles. I work to provide my clients empathy, compassion, and comfort in session while providing clients with coping skills. I encourage my clients to be their true self and work to bring their strengths into sessions.

Congratulations on taking this first step towards re-authoring your life. In my practice I avoid labeling as much as possible, as the negative labels we assign ourselves often hold us back. I have a diverse experience and have found that it is important for me to be diverse with my approach. I will meet you where you are and be creative with my interventions. You are unique and so our work together shall be. Come as you are and without judgments we will move you on the path of health and wellness towards your goals.

You may be struggling with establishing safe connections following trauma from past relationships, oppressive systems, experiences with racial trauma , or fear of being your authentic self.

If any of these resonate, welcome, and thank you for taking this step towards your wellbeing and best self-development.
