Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

I enter the therapeutic space with curiosity, compassion, and non-judgment, and without preconceived notions of who you are or what you would like to gain from therapy. I practice cultural humility and open-mindedness, and truly believe that every individual is unique and holds authority over their own identity and story. I welcome ALL people to my practice. My goal is to build a safe space with you that allows me to meet you where you are, and at the same time challenge you to take hold of opportunities for growth when you are ready.

The world is a wild and wondrous place to exist. There is so much to be curious about as we follow our respective paths. However, sometimes the path can become obscured causing us to feel lost, confused, even scared or defeated. Amidst the constant buzz of living, we need a place of stillness, of safety, to see ourselves clearly again. I am here to provide you a safe, judgement-free holding space to explore your own path and rediscover yourself in it. In our work together, we will focus on using the strength of human connection as a bridge to our own healing.

Thank you for your interest in my practice. We often need support as we try to make sense of this messy thing called life! I have a deep respect and appreciation for the many challenges associated with navigating a child's developmental journey, the joy and stress of parenting, finding balance within your relationship and unity as a family. When working with young children, I believe the most important person in your child’s life is YOU, and I aim to involve parents throughout the therapeutic process so you are able to continue to support your child at home.

Hello, my name is Roslynn Noble. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW 89024). This means I am trained as a therapist and as a social worker. I have worked as a clinical social worker for the last 10 years. Most recently my area of focus has been brief therapy, which focuses on stabilizing a single issue in 5-12 sessions. Therapy can be overwhelming, and the first few sessions are sometimes spent identifying and prioritizing what to stabilize.

The word “heal” comes from “to make whole.” Psychotherapy, more aptly psyche-therapy, is a sacred process of tending to the soul wound and waking more fully to one’s aliveness and inherent wholeness. I am deeply passionate about supporting you in healing the fragmented and disowned parts of self that hinder you from living a life of meaningful connections, purposeful self-agency and joy. We work collaboratively to creatively transform unconscious and limiting belief structures, access your resiliencies, welcome emerging truths, skillfully navigate adversity with new tools, and integrate insights for profound and evolving change.

I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is the foundation in order for any healing to happen. Trust and mutual respect is important for progress to be made and I spend time getting to know the client and what brings them in. The client is the expert on their life and their experiences, and I feel privileged to be the witness of that journey. Most of the people I work with are children, adolescents or young adults, but I also enjoy working with women and adults in areas of transition, family issues, relationships, parenting or looking for support or personal growth.

Welcome. I’m a Clinical Psychologist specializing in child and family therapy, adult therapy, and forensic child custody evaluations. I have over 20 years of experience working with parent/child issues, worry, depression, and academic problems. Clients are often overcoming significant relationship difficulties, hardships, or trauma. As a family therapist, I take into account the bigger picture of your life. I work with you to plan the course of treatment and ask for your ongoing feedback. It is my goal to empower you to be able to find new skills and perspectives to help you continue your progress even after therapy has ended.

I offer a relational, insightful, effective approach to therapy, aiming to help you find a sense of belonging and aliveness in the world. I welcome those who grieve, working with you to find the first hard steps after life has come undone, and with you as you learn to see in the dark. So often grief and trauma intertwine, and I offer help with the anxiety, vigilance, sleep problems, and relationship stress that often come with overwhelming experiences of trauma. Working with Brainspotting to access these places of trauma, and process them with careful attunement, I can help bring room for new perspectives and grounding in life.

As a therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals on their healing journey of self-discovery. I create a warm and compassionate space with a grounded and collaborative approach where you will feel seen, heard, and deeply understood. I believe that every person has what they need to heal and we will work together to uncover your inner wisdom and cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself.

When you’re constantly on edge, haunted by past traumas, or overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, your experience is often a lonely one, leaving you exhausted and longing for relief and understanding. Although you’re hurting and probably wondering why this is happening, I’m glad that it’s led you to consider therapy. My mission is to create a safe and nurturing space where you can confront what’s going on inside, and discover a new way of being. When you trust me with your story, together we'll unpack the layers of your experiences, gently untangling the knots of trauma and grief that have been holding you back.

I work from a humanistic, integrative approach. The way that I view Integrative psychotherapy is to honor the process of taking disowned or unresolved aspects (or parts) of the self and bring them together in order to help one find their "true authentic self." This process reduces defense mechanisms, and supports each client to integrate those protective parts in order to engage with the world, themselves and the people they care about. I bring presence, as well as unconditional personal regard to all my clients.

Greetings! My name is Chris Bongardt and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I know that it takes courage to seek counseling, especially when it comes to challenges in your personal life and relationships. I provide a collaborative process with clients who are hoping to explore challenges and make positive changes in their lives. I offer a safe, empathetic and non-judgmental environment to explore feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. My therapeutic style is engaged and interactive and incorporates theory, experience, compassion, teaching, resourcing, intuition, strength-building, skill and humor. I seek motivated clients interested in making positive changes.

My purpose is to best support you on this journey and provide a safe space for explorations of your emotions that will provide insight, understanding and build self-awareness and acceptance to grow. I work with children, teens, young adults, and families on their anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, career/identity issues, life adjustments and relational challenges.

Each of us is unique. We all come from different backgrounds and cultures. People suffer in different ways and pain can manifest itself through our mental health in various forms such as depression, anxiety, and a myriad of physical and health problems. My goal is to help you make positive changes in your life in order to become the person you aspire to be. I believe no matter how challenging the process, we need to be content and be our authentic selves. In order to do this, we need to explore our struggles and gain insight and make positive change in our lives.

The issues that bring us to therapy serve as openings to our true nature, and as bridges to self-compassion. When we discover or remember who we are beyond our suffering, and attend to the authentic being that has been neglected in the process, healing can begin to happen.

I believe that our wounds can be turned into wisdom. Some of our past experiences hold pain, but that pain can represent insight and growth. I understand that every human is different, treat each individual as a whole, and see every experience as nuanced with many layers. As an associate accruing my hours for licensure, I have found a passion for working with children, teenagers, couples, and young adults. I work to help individuals understand their relationship with themselves and the people around them.

I provide quality mental health care for diverse populations. As a mental health therapist, I assist many by providing bilingual and bicultural therapy, consultation, coaching, workshops, presentations and more. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, youth and families in Sonoma County and beyond. I work with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, life transitions, work/career changes, intergenerational trauma, the acculturation process and dealing with everyday stressors. I work with adults, children, and families, and have experience with diverse populations including BIPOC.

I am committed to taking a collaborative approach to help clients reach their personal goals. I want to help you put your experience into the words that reflect what you have been unable to name all these years. I want to be the counselor who can validate and acknowledge your story the way you have lived it.
