Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile. If you're looking for some help for your teen, family, or yourself you've come to the right place. I can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and communication issues along with many others. I really like using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Non-Violent Communication, and nervous system education to help my clients.

I hold a deep and abiding belief in the inherent health and wellness in each of my clients and my work is to guide them to rediscover this core sense of aliveness, agency and resiliency. In addition to my clinical training in psychology, I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Mindfulness Educator. I have integrated traditional psychotherapy with cutting-edge, body-based modalities that address childhood developmental issues and Complex Trauma. I create a safe environment in which to renegotiate learned survival strategies that, while needed at one time, compromise our ability to connect with ourselves and others.

Hi, my name is Kathleen Vang and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Fresno, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I specialize in depression, anxiety, and trauma using a Client-Centered Approach with interventions from CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness. I aim to support my clients in learning more about themselves, making progress, and increasing their mental wellness. My communication style is calm, personable, and understanding in order to create a judgment-free zone and have my clients feel safe and comfortable sharing with me.

Thank you for your interest in working with me. I am now accepting individual clients for in person, ongoing, depth psychotherapy and couples who want to work through longstanding mental health and relational issues and renew their romantic relationship. I love working with diverse ages, sexual orientations and gender identities. My clients are adults who deeply connect with their therapist and therapy, and their goals are greater self awareness and self actualization. I enjoy working with young adults and have served many to transition from living at home to living on their own, and succeeding at work, college and beyond.

Welcome, glad you are here. At times, we forget parts of ourselves and lose sight of our inner compass. Therapy is one way of remembering and coming back to our wholeness. I offer a space of healing presence, authenticity, and deep listening, integrating somatic and nature-based practices. Through our work together, you will foster the skills and practices that best supports your healing and growth and is most transformative, nurturing, compassionate, and wise for you. I am passionate about and skilled in supporting women, adolescents, helping professionals, in addition to the global majority and underserved communities.

Is your marriage or relationship troubled by the impact of resentment, criticism, or silence? Are you always feeling defensive? Or, has the romance just run out? Are the traumas of past experience haunting you? If you are struggling with anger, failed expectations, old destructive patterns, or powerful out of control emotions, we can work to rebuild the relationships and life you deserve.

As a board-certified licensed clinical psychologist with over 13 years of diverse experience, I have developed a comprehensive skill set through my work in various settings including large healthcare institutions, US government institutions, and leadership roles overseeing treatment teams. My extensive experience encompasses both inpatient and outpatient treatment, providing me with a thorough understanding of a wide range of psychological challenges. My expertise encompasses the treatment of anxiety disorders, mood disorders (such as depression), eating disorders, and trauma (including post-traumatic stress disorder).

Life can be difficult. You don't have to go it alone. My approach is engaged and practical, with the goal of meeting you where you are. My work is grounded in the belief that the relationship between therapist and client is the foundation for therapeutic change. With couples, I incorporate the work of IFS - Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO), EFT, and The Gottman Institute. Prior to working as a therapist I enjoyed an extensive career in the business world. In Sonoma County since 1993, I hold an MA in Counseling Psychology and a BS in Business Administration. Grounded. Collaborative. Creative. Respectful.

If you're wanting to grow and change, heal old traumas, navigate a life transition, or work on relationships, I can help. Using targeted therapies such as cognitive-behavioral, depth psychology, EMDR, hypnosis and mindfulness, together we create meaningful change according to the goals you bring to therapy. My background in transpersonal psychology allows me to work with the whole person, including your psychological, spiritual, intellectual, creative, physical and community life. And my prior career in business helps me understand the real-world challenges you may face in everyday life. Read more at: www.robinseeleyonline.com

Many people come to see me because they are experiencing distress in some area of their life. It may be a specific issue like divorce, depression, anxiety or grief. They may desire more intimacy with their partner and find themselves getting "triggered" or defensive instead. When working with individuals and couples regarding their relationships, I offer effective and proven skills that achieve positive results quickly. I have a gentle approach with the ability to be direct when needed..

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.

I believe we all have the ability to change and grow. I work with Individuals and Couples who want to improve their lives. Trauma can keep us stuck in dysregulated emotional states. Isolation can make change difficult. Life transitions can be hard to navigate. Communication with loved ones can be challenging during conflicts. Abandonment and other relationship injuries are best healed in a relationship with a safe and secure person. As you contemplate creating change, you may find yourself in need of help and support. If you find yourself stuck and in emotional pain, collaboration with a therapist can begin your journey to healing.

I am here to help you listen to the signals of your body, mind, heart and relationship that are calling for a new way of being. Often these signals come in the form of conflict, sexual blocks, loneliness, depression, anxiety, addiction, grief; I believe they are an initiation. Something is out of sync: you know all the "right" things to do, and yet they still don't seem to get to the heart of the problem. You are beginning therapy because part of you knows it would be more uncomfortable to continue "business-as-usual" than to open to change.

Just as the speed of technology has rapidly increased and expanded our lives, so has the urgency of people to resolve their life challenges and move quickly through transitions. Here are some of the transitions we may face during our lives: the loss of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, becoming parents, caring for aging parents, beginning new careers, leaving home for the first time or deepening our spiritual lives. I gently guide people to quickly transform these challenges into opportunities to grow and achieve personal goals, in a safe, warm and accepting environment.

Are you laying awake at night worrying about how to get your life on track, wondering if you are suffering from a "failure to launch"? Are you feeling depressed by vague feelings of emptiness and boredom that even your personal and professional relationships fail to relieve? Do you feel isolated and awkwardly alone even in the midst of your social interactions? Do you long for deeper self-understanding and for loving relationships that support well-being and purpose in life?

Relationship challenges, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and trauma symptoms make daily life a challenge. I work with these common issues among all people, bodies and genders. I currently see individual, couples and non-monogamous partnerships. My orientations are relational, psychodynamic, and somatic. If you want a steady and strong presence, I'm your therapist. I will help you learn to express your needs in a way others can hear it, build self-trust and develop healthier coping mechanisms. We often find meaning in our lives through the process of unravelling struggle and reprocessing trauma. Therapy is a promising route.

I am a seasoned therapist with over 25 years of experience working with clients of diverse backgrounds and orientations. My approach tailored toward each individual. I draw on decades of bereavement work (directing a hospice program), trauma (including EMDR), and mindfulness training (as a meditation and yoga instructor and spiritual director). Recently, I have been certified as a psychedelic-assisted therapist, work with ketamine, and provide integration. I'm a visual artist and writer and enjoy working with creative folks. Many of my clients come to me in the midst of grief, trauma, or life transitions. See alissahirshfeld.com

My approach is character analytic which offers an opportunity for clients to experience a wider range of feelings, resulting in more energy and an ability to move through life's difficulties and experience life's pleasures.
