Therapists in Chico, CA

My name is Daedalys Wilson. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I have been working with adults, adolescents, children and couples in a therapeutic manner for over 20 years. I can competently assist others with challenges associated with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships and parenting skills. I have had the opportunity to help others with facing challenges in their lives that have been overwhelming and assisted them with those issues becoming manageable in their daily lives.

For many of us, our pains and heartaches can be felt in every aspect of our lives, physically, emotionally, mentally, behaviorally, and relationally. My experience includes assisting children, adolescents, adults, and families who are dealing with problems related to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, trauma, and major life transitions. These feelings and experiences can be incredibly overwhelming, confusing, and isolating and I am passionate about helping people develop coping strategies, process painful experiences, and heal and grow so that they can live a fulfilling life.

I started my practice in 1994 with a desire to help people through their difficult situations. As a father my heart goes out to children. I strive to meet people where they are and help them become the best they can be. The majority of my practice is made up of children and teens but I also work with a number of adults and couples. It is important to note not everyone is ready to face their struggles or change their situation. While I would like to help everyone the person must be ready and motivated for therapy to be effective.

I believe we all are doing the best we can with what we've been given, but sometimes we need a little more. We need compassion for ourselves and our life situation, so we can see a way to a different future than the track we're currently on. I look at life and relationships from an unbiased and non-judgemental lense so my clients can focus on describing their experiences and situations without fear or worry. My goal is to help you make sense of things from a new perspective and to help you move through your current space differently, eliciting different outcomes than those you've experienced in the past.

If you struggle with anxiety or depression, you know how difficult it can be to cope. Anxiety is easy to recognize. We worry more, avoid difficult situations, and feel tense, awkward, or ineffective. Depression feels exhausting and hopeless. We judge ourselves and other people harshly, feel intense sadness, and become passive. It can feel like we can't do anything right or that things never go our way. Imagine being more active, skilled, and competent, communicating more effectively in relationships, being more productive at work or school, and feeling more satisfied with life.

There are seasons of our lives where we may feel lost or hopeless, and unsure how to move forward. I truly believe everyone has the strength and ability to find healing and peace. My passion is to create an emotionally safe and supportive environment to support you through your brave journey.

Hello! I’m Suzie Spehling. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) at Foresight. Finding a therapist is not an easy task for most, let alone the right one for you! Congratulations on taking the first step! I am a Certified Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist (CBT), specializing in trauma and grief, as well as a Dialectical Behavioral Therapist (DBT), specializing in managing stress, regulating emotions and improving relationships, which means I help you understand and work through your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, while learning to make permanent, positive life changes! I am also a specialist in treating ADHD.

Have you had a life experience or experiences recently or in the past, that have impacted how you feel about yourself? How you relate to others, and / or your enjoyment of your day to day life? I will support you towards the healing of your emotional pain, self-discovery and fulfillment. Together we will identify the issues, and build resources that will allow you to reach your goals.

Life can be challenging, exciting, and downright hard. In my practice, I would like to offer a compassionate space for you to work on who would like to be and mange the stressors life throws your way. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Self-Regulation Techniques, amongst others including Brainspotting, to provide you with an opportunity to identify your emotions, your struggles, and your goals.

Are you exhausted and overwhelmed? Do you long for better connection with others? Are you filled with worry, regret or unresolvable grief? Do you struggle to be content and to care for yourself?

Looking for the right therapist can be hard. That's exactly why we partnered together to create Tula- a group practice with therapists offering a variety of therapies. Whether you are looking for support in changing your current life circumstances, in managing your emotional health, or help with your child or teen's emotional and behavioral health, there is someone here at Tula who can help.

I know how challenging life can be, how difficult it is to reach out during tough times and let another person into your struggles, pain, and story. But letting safe people into your life is necessary for healing, because we are not meant to navigate this life alone. It takes time to heal, and it takes support and effort on the journey. But an environment with a compassionate and trained confidant, makes all the difference. You can create the life you are hoping for! Together, we will create a safe place to help you process your pain & create a more joy filled future.

My approach to therapy is to help people heal and work through their life experiences. My expertise is working with individuals, children, families, and couples. I work with clients of all ages. My experience comes from working in rural communities, providing 10 years of psychotherapy, training other clinicians, and providing integrative care. I use CBT, mindfulness, trauma-informed CBT, brain-spotting, EMDR, play therapy, and other modalities.

I am an eternal optimist, and believe strongly in the method of training clients to empower themselves. I practice EMDR for anxiety and trauma processing, and use behavioral therapy for depression. My work includes coaching Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, and I believe strongly in helping people develop self-care regimens to prioritize themselves. My focus often includes working to assist people in finding a balance between home, work, family, school, socialization, and physical health. Goal setting is an important component of therapy, so we work together to establish treatment goals that are reasonable and attainable.

Greetings, my name is Abram. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, working in the field for approximately 10 years. I have worked with a variety of individuals, and couples over the course of my career. My goal as a therapist, is to work myself out of a job. In other words, I want to help my clients, identify their goals, and then work towards their goals, in a relatively short period of time. In my professional experience, most people come to therapy as a result of relationship discord, or persistent distressing emotions. My goal is to assist my clients in finding relief from distressing, emotion, and enjoy relationships.

Hi! I’m Christine Dufrayer and I go by my Hawaiian name Kukui. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist. Can you think of a time you really felt heard, understood, and supported? That is my goal in the work I do with the wonderful individuals and families I partner with. I have three main approaches in my therapy tool belt- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play therapy interventions, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Understanding how the ways we think, feel, and act are interconnected can be a really important aspect of growth, and making adjustments can help free up that stuck feeling.
