During these stressful times, many of us are experiencing higher levels of anxiety and/or sadness. Are you worried about your child or teen, concerned about your marriage or struggling with family relationships? Do you need new tools to help you feel more confident in parenting your adopted or special needs child/teen? Are you a member of the LGBTQ+ community who is looking for a supportive therapist who understands your unique strengths and challenges. I created American River Family Counseling because I believe that we all deserve happy, healthy and connected relationships.
At American River Family Counseling, we provide attachment focused individual, family and couples therapy with a special emphasis on treating adopted families, children/teens and adults with anxiety and all members of the LGBTQ+ community. We work with children and teens using a variety of modalities, including play, sand tray and expressive arts.
We know that finding the right therapist can be difficult. You have taken the first step by reading our profile. We invite you to reach out by phone or by checking out our website. We are happy to provide a free 15 minute phone consultation.
