Therapists in Sacramento, CA
Difficulty can show up in our lives in many different ways. You might experience conflict with your partner, struggle to balance work and personal life, have difficulty experiencing joy; have grief over a loved one or are broken-hearted over a divorce or breakup. Or perhaps you are dealing with a medical condition that is making it difficult for you to do the activities you used to do. When we are struggling in these ways anxiety can be excruciating and depression can be debilitating. You don't have to face it alone. I work with individuals and with couples.

Life can feel overwhelming when you are facing personal struggles or experiencing conflict in important relationships. I can help you identify the patterns in your life that are limiting you and guide you toward developing better coping skills to find healing in the difficult areas of your life. Through my extensive work with both children and families who have survived trauma and experienced chronic mental health challenges, I've learned effective strategies for supporting those who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, parent-child conflict, relationship issues, and the effects of living with a painful past.

My training would be defined as "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" but I engage in general therapy. This means that I will work with my clients to meet them where they are and use tools, interventions and approaches that respect their person and strives to align with who they are. I am here for the client and make it a point to engage on a humanistic level. I am not a therapist who sits in a chair and asks "how does that make you feel?" I am a therapist who wants to actively help you identify your goal(s) and come up with a plan for you to reach them. I will not waste your time and I am invested as much as you are.

Regardless of why you are struggling (stress, depression), I’m so glad you are reaching out for support. In my practice, I blend a warm, compassionate and respectful approach with solid science and practical experience. I work with trauma, dual diagnosis (mental health and addictions). I use a variety of modalities & orientations such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, and Trauma Focused Therapy (SFT). Therapy is a process of strengthening your connection to yourself while building new skills and awareness. Therapy should be customized based on your needs, learning style, cultural consideration, and goals.

Many of us feel disconnected from ourselves and experience symptoms that constrict our lives and relationships. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe environment where people can comfortably explore their longstanding, repetitive patterns, work through past trauma, integrate previously disowned parts of self, and discover their inner strengths. Using a holistic and integrative approach grounded in psychodynamic theory, I am committed to helping my clients gain insight and self-awareness and feel empowered to alter their present experiences by making intentional decisions that align with their values.

Feeling overwhelmed by the twists and turns life is throwing at you? Losing that feeling of connection, purpose, or confidence? Looking for hope? I work with teens, adults, and couples who want to gain a deeper understanding and connection to their values, experience liberation in their lives and relationships, and reconnect with joy. Teens and young adults are faced with unique challenges and stressors in the digital age, on top of navigating an onslaught of emotions, major life changes, and self-discovery. I work with teens by empowering them to explore who they are and who they want to be, and how to align the two.

Many of us lead busy lives with little space to breathe, think, and make choices with clarity. We hold ourselves to unsustainable standards in our careers, relationships and as individuals. We move from day to day with anxious thoughts, or float numbly with disconnection and over-scheduling as a way to avoid pain. Often our expectations, goals and circumstances come at the expense of our own healthy well being.

Damian S. Sandoval is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California who has been practicing since 2015. Damian offers a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals and couples to explore the current life challenges they are experiencing. Damian considers himself an empath and has had many negative experiences himself, so he feels that he can closely relate to and understand what his clients might be experiencing. That is not to say that Damian knows exactly what is going on in his client's mind, as he does not believe it is fair to compare traumas/stressors or experiences.

Hi there! I strive to create a warm, humorous, and empathic space to focus on just you. Perhaps it's to reflect on how your history is impacting you now. Perhaps it's to develop skills that you haven't learned yet, or unlearn habits that are holding you back. Perhaps you've talked all you can to the people in your life and need a place to keep processing. Maybe you just need more support.

Each day we awake, you have another chance at life. Of course, you can't control into what family you're born, your ethnicity, or your physical attributes; changing your past is beyond your control, too. However, you DO have control over how you respond to your past, and you CAN change the way you think and behave. Understanding yourself, how to approach relationships, and how to cope with life's challenges can be difficult especially if you're unsure of where to begin. I can meet you where you are and support you with empathy and unconditional positive regard. With collaboration, we can work together to help you meet your goals.
