Therapists in West Sacramento, CA

My name is Rochelle Frehling and I am a licensed Psychologist interested in working with people to learn how to more effectively manage their emotions and have healthier relationships with their selves and others. I am interested in blended family issues, divorce, and parenting using an eclectic approach tailored to your specific needs. Sometimes, because of things we have gone through in our past we learn protective strategies that end up keeping you stuck. They might be helping you feel safer, but they may be shrinking your life and limiting your opportunity to be your best authentic self.

My name is Maria Becerra, but I go by my middle name Terry. I am a licensed clinical social worker in California and have been doing social work for over 8 years. I enjoy my job very much and love to help my patients get through various stages of life events. I look forward to meeting a wide variety of people with complex and not-so-complex issues. My focus is not on one particular type of client as I have worked with a wide range of clients from all walks of life, many cultures, and different points of view.

Hello and welcome! If you'd like to create more space for joy, connection, and calm in your life, I would love to work with you! I specialize in treating depression, trauma, anxiety, stress, self-esteem issues, body image issues, and perfectionism. I use a person-centered approach and mindfulness to help create a safe space for you to reflect on your relationship patterns and goals. I also like to infuse behavioral therapy techniques to help you hone in on concrete steps you can take to make active changes in your life. I hope to help you find more meaning, creativity, and joy in life.

Welcome! It is my belief that therapy is a journey of healing that unfolds slowly and gently over time. The counseling process is unique to each individual depending on the issues presented and the type of renewal and restoration desired as an outcome of therapy. We will work together to develop a specific plan and goals for your healing. The counseling process is a tremendous personal committment to yourself and is not always easy. However, it is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself -- the journey to health, wholeness and healing.

I provide an accepting, nonjudgmental place for you to explore who you are, how you got to where you are, and to help you move forward in your life. If you are interested in learning about yourself and healing the wounds left by events in childhood and adulthood, I can help guide you on this journey.

As a therapist, the connection between my client and me is central to the process. By fostering a safe and deep relationship, we can explore both immediate and historical issues that are causing suffering and pain. We will use a combination of mind, body and emotional understanding to explore the layers of the self. With increased insight and awareness, you will feel a greater sense of well being and satisfaction in all areas of your life.

I'm glad you're here. You have made the first step in a very important journey by researching therapists. My goal is to help you reach YOUR goals and improve your life. I believe that you have all the answers you need within you, but that sometimes people get stuck and can't see those answers. I will help guide you to them and support you in taking action to implement them in your life, providing a little outside information and perspective along the way. My office is safe, confidential, and easily accessible from Hwy 99.

If you are trying to tough things out on your own or avoiding issues in your relationship that hold you back from a more fulfilling life, now there is hope! I have 35 years experience as a psychotherapist, couples therapist, and mediator, helping individuals and couples make positive changes in their lives--both immediate and lasting. The goals of psychotherapy are tailored to the specific problems, but always include greater self awareness, healing of old wounds and present losses, better coping skills, and feeling both more secure and more free. I will help you discover more effective ways of dealing with challenges and issues.

Worried, sad, confused, in conflict? Can't stop thinking? Feeling little pleasure or joy? Compassionately, I will help you reduce anxiety, resolve old business, uncover your strengths, and connect more deeply with others. With practical information and proven techniques, I can help you access your inner compass, work, sleep and play better. You can learn to trust yourself, work through past hurt and anger, understand and fully appreciate yourself and others. I'm honored to partner with a wide variety of people on their journeys of personal development, and I'm always impressed with the resilience and courage of my clients.

I have been a therapist for over twenty-five years and have had the opportunity to work with many different clients and circumstances along the way. I provide therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am constantly amazed by the strength and perseverance of my clients and I greatly appreciate that they allow me into their lives so that we may work through their challenges together. In particular, I have worked extensively with children and parents, many of divorced families. My adult clients are often dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and childhood issues.

Asking for help for yourself or a loved one can be difficult. Sharing your life experiences, thoughts and feelings with a complete stranger is even more difficult. That is why I believe that it is important to build a strong foundation of trust and help you feel comfortable and safe enough to share your story and life experiences with me. Finding a good fit with a therapist is very important to reach your goals and is key to growth and bringing forth your inner strength.

Most of us have goals we want to accomplish. Sometimes, we lose sight of these goals and seek a compass with which to guide ourselves. I strongly believe my task is to provide a safe place for you to do the work to achieve your goals. I've also become passionate about working with clients as they move from one stage of life to another. I believe a key to happiness is mindful connection to self, others, spirituality, the community, and the world. I provide feedback.

Everyone needs and deserves health in all forms. I believe therapy is no different than medical treatment or dental care. People often don't want to pursue therapy because they don't think their discomfort is enough to warrant the expense. Whether the sessions are many or few, therapy can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself and how you relate to others. Emotional health is an investment in your quality of life. I utilize interventions based on individualized needs to help people reach their goals and create a fulfilling life.

If you feel unfulfilled in your relationships and find loss and change difficult, and if you want to get to the source of the patterns and blocks keeping you stuck in worry, anxiety, emotional eating, lost sleep, and a lack of faith, then I can help. I especially enjoy working with couples and individuals longing for a connection to their "soul's wisdom" so that they can feel more balance, joy, and fulfillment. I am an integrative, holistic mind-body-spirit psychotherapist. I offer techniques that will help you tune into your deepest self, the part of you that has your best wisdom and answers for what you are seeking in your life.

I am a forensic psychotherapist that works with families involved in custody disputes with a focus on the best interests for children. My focus with all clients is to find solutions to complex issues. My approach is direct and goal oriented. For psychotherapy, I treat individuals, families, and children. I also hold closed support groups for Recovery from Psychological Abuse (specifically narcissistic abuse). I work extensively with individuals going through divorce. I enjoy working with children and teens in treating depression/ anxiety, Trauma, Introversion/social anxiety, peer issues, and parental conflict/divorce.

Do you have a hard time putting yourself first? Do you find yourself walking on eggshells in your relationships? Are you a worrier? Do those worries and negative thoughts interfere constantly with your daily life? You may feel like your brain never stops, even waking up in the middle of the night with a million thoughts in your head. You might find yourself replaying situations from yesterday or from 10 years ago obsessing about what went wrong. You often get stuck in a never-ending loop of anxiety and guilt. It’s exhausting, frustrating, and overwhelming!

I have been providing and managing behavioral health care services in the Sacramento Metropolitan area since 2000. I am a professionally trained therapist whose goal is to help individuals, couples, and families face their emotional issues with courage and strength while learning to grow and change in a motivating and safe environment. I use multiple treatment modalities which draw upon the personal strengths of my clientele. In addition to English, I speak Gujarati and Hindi, and am comfortable working with people from many cultured and backgrounds.

I am passionate about helping individuals achieve their best selves and find fulfillment in life. Sometimes, we are held back by past hurts, low self esteem, anxiety, loss, or other life challenges. If you want to find ways to overcome life challenges, feel more confident, and have better relationships, I am here to help! I also love working with couples. Relationships, especially those with our spouse or partner are the most important thing in life. Often couples find themselves struggling to communicate and feel disconnected from one another. I would love to help you and your partner feel more connected!

We live in a world of constant noise. It can feel like making space for our wellbeing is impossible. When do we get the chance to breathe? I believe the therapy room is YOUR space to breathe. When you have space to process the messiness of life, you tap into a human ability to heal, grow, & flourish. But keeping focus for positive change becomes more intense when we are worried about our children. Sometimes that space requires playing with lego blocks and sand; other times that requires tuning into your body and intimately embracing your pain. For you or your child, whatever your space requires, I follow your lead.
