Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

Insightful and compassionate describe me as a therapist. I have over 13 years of experience as a school counselor and 10 years licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in children and adolescent issues, primarily around depression, anxiety, conflictual family issues and low self-esteem that can often lead to low motivation in school, drug use, eating disorders and other maladaptive behaviors. I believe that authenticity and attunement are crucial to healing. As a practiced and engaging counselor, I am able to effectively identify needs and enjoy building connections with youth and families.

We all hear that you ‘just need to love yourself more.’ Something easy to do intellectually, but very difficult in practice. How do you actually do that? I don’t have any singular answer to the question, but I can explore with you what gets in the way of loving yourself the way you want and living life as your most authentic self. My work isn’t about just eradicating symptoms, but creating a deeper understanding of what drives our symptoms, and how we have learned to adapt to trauma, overwhelm, and loss by creating strategies and patterns that might no longer serve us.

I help people struggling with anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, low mood and those looking to build confidence, set effective boundaries, manage overwhelm, and take action to make noticeable improvements in their lives. For those dealing with the impact of illness or the loss of a loved one, I am here to provide understanding and assistance as well. Additionally, I provide evidence based treatment for insomnia.

I have worked with adults and children for over 30 years. My work bridges a broad spectrum of life issues with the belief that we each carry a unique inner authority that directs us to develop according to our own truth. My work has a Jungian orientation. In addition to verbal therapy with adults we may incorporate dream work, art, Sandplay or EMDR as a means of self-exploration. With children I use play therapy and Sandplay. Some of the issues I work with include anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, trauma, sexual abuse, child adjustment, post pandemic modifications, gender orientation, etc. www.BarbaraTurnerTherapy.com

In my years of experience treating trauma, substance misuse, codependency, relational issues, & other mental health challenges, I've seen the shame, self-blame, confusion, frustration, loss, & hopelessness that come with difficulty coping. For some people, it can be frightening & difficult knowing how to support loved ones who are having mental health challenges, whether it is a parent, child, spouse, sibling, or friend. I recognize a desire to feel safe, understood, & to develop better coping skills that help with overcoming challenges & restoring self-esteem, confidence, meaningful relationships, well-being, & grace.

You deserve to live a life of alignment and fulfillment and to receive support as you do so. Taking the step to speak to a therapist is an act of self-honoring as you move in a new direction in your life. My ideal client is motivated and seeks a caring therapist willing to individualize treatment. If this is you, and you are interested in EMDR, parts work/IFS, and a somatic orientation, please don't hesitate to reach out to connect further.

For me, it is vital that you feel heard and supported all times, without judgment. Together, we will strategize how to best cope with daily stressors effectively and easily. I can help you leave the past behind through self-forgiveness and by creating a much more positive present, and thus, future. Often, we talk to ourselves in very negative ways and this determines our reactions and limitations, as well as our worldview. I will help you radically improve your self-esteem and take on each day's challenges feeling strong and at peace with yourself. I also specialize in trauma. My way of treating it is effective and painless.

I am a Licensed MFT in both California and Idaho. I am located in Boise, Idaho and currently provide telehealth in both Idaho and California. Therapy should help you improve your life. Though it can take time to get the most out of therapy, my goal is that we see improvement all along the way in your ability to function and manage.

Hi there, I’m Stacy. I specialize in working with teenagers and young adults. I can help you add tools to your toolbox so you can better manage stress, heal old wounds to experience a deeper sense of emotional freedom, and establish important boundaries with others. I have worked with those who have experienced depression, anxiety, and childhood trauma. I am also an ally for the LGBTQ+ community.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and holistic. I believe that everyone has the capacity to move towards healing and wholeness given the appropriate resources and support. I hold where people are at in their lives with respect and compassion, and value creating a space conducive to sincere and open dialogue. I am as grounded and experienced in serving client's seeking creative tools/strategies for coping with the challenges faced in daily life, as I am in working with those seeking to loosen the grip of long term patterns, conditioning and habitual emotional responses, which can limit our capacity to thrive and grow.

Welcome! I recently completed my PhD in Psychology, Public Policy, and Law, meaning I have a more in-depth understanding of the intersection between the mental health and criminal justice systems - this does not make me a clinical psychologist. I have also been recently certified as a Certified Personality Disorder Provider (C-PD). My primary therapeutic modality is Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which has been empirically proven to help individuals struggling with self-harm, suicidal ideation, intense mood fluctuations, unstable relationships, poor emotion regulation capabilities, and frequent impulsive & risk-taking behaviors.

I have 10 years of experience in the field and offer empathetic, strengths-based care. I use a mixture of CBT and solution-focused therapy to help you identify emotions that lead to unwanted behaviors. I work with adults, children, and families experiencing issues related to addiction, mental health, abuse/neglect, and divorce/custody.

Deciding to start seeing a therapist can be a difficult choice in anyone's life. I provide a service that aims to put clients at ease while challenging themselves to understand difficult topics in order to positively move forward. I provide an authentic, caring, and transparent therapeutic style for my clients, being their empathetic guide toward increased self-awareness. I strive to listen, understand, and help people find new perspectives to positively move forward.

I love helping adults from all stages and walks of life to understand the things that are holding them back in order to find ways through them. After recognizing underlying barriers, we can work towards fully realizing your strengths and adjusting certain behaviors and thoughts to see things and be yourself in a healthier way. In our first session together, we'll complete an assessment focused on exploring your past and present, current challenges and strengths, and specific problems that you hope to overcome. We'll discuss your specific goals for counseling as well as my recommendations for treatment to move towards those goals.

Healing involves the whole person, not just the problems that person is struggling with. I believe that depression and anxiety are not random occurrences but have meaning. It is our task to discover the message contained within the pain. The sense of separateness that comes from this pain is often a separation from the self. As a trained homeopath, as well as a psychodynamic therapist, I have tools to treat both psychological and physical symptoms. I am faculty emeritus at the Women's Therapy Center and am a supervisor and instructor at The Psychotherapy Institute in Berkeley. I have also taught at Sonoma State University.
