Elders (65+) Therapists in Shingle Springs, CA

If you are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety or just feeling stuck, we are here for you. We utilize multiple therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT, attachment therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness and Trail Talk. We work from different therapeutic approaches to help clients find their own intentions, resources and strengths. We also offer Life and Relationship Coaching, an action oriented approach, focused on the present and future, working on the "how" to your goals.

Life can be rough for young adults today; whether it's school/work struggles, peer or relationship issues, pressures from social media, anxiety & depression symptoms, and so much more. Even though we intellectually know there are others experiencing similar feelings, it still feels lonely. It's difficult to open up to family and friends as we don't want to feel like a burden and don’t want to disappoint anyone, but it ends up feeling like "no one gets me". My passion is to help young adults discover their worth, to feel understood, & get to a healthy and happy space in life.

I focus on working with adults, couples, and families, but my specialty is in working with couples. My approach to couples therapy is to work with my clients to identify the core issues that prevent them from having fulfilling, connected relationships rather than giving them short-term solutions. Identifying the underlying issues in the relationship that go beyond the "symptoms" expressed through fighting or distance is critical in effective couple's work. I believe that a therapist should be a good fit for a client, and when working with couples that both of you feel like I'm the right therapist.

My main focus is on relationships, your relationship with yourself, and with others. I believe the key to having healthier children and families is to strengthen and improve the above mentioned relationships, and to build a strong relationship bond between parent(s) and their child(ren). My style is energetic, straightforward and honest with a touch of humor. I have many years experience working in the group setting with men or women around their anger awareness/management and relationship issues.

Life entails times of joy, happiness, growth, change, pain, and loss. Life can be hard and sometimes we need help to cope through difficult experiences and learn new ways of navigating the challenges we face. I work with clients in a collaborative relationship to create lasting positive change, reduce emotional suffering, access strengths, change negative patterns, increase self-compassion, formulate goals, strengthen coping skills, enhance relationships, navigate transitions, and further movement toward a life that is meaningful and fulfilling.

In my 45+ years working with kids, adults and families as an El Dorado County teacher, school counselor, diversity trainer, and therapist, I have been privileged to partner with individuals struggling through life's curves and personal challenges. Together, we have fostered growth and healing in the areas of loss, depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, identity challenges, parenting/grandparenting, and family trauma. I have expertise in, and a deep understanding of diversity and issues related to bullying.

I believe that the path to recovery is made by walking - one step at a time. Inner healing can replace pain and suffering with joy and connection. I know because I have walked the path. I offer individual therapy and family therapy for the following: Anxiety and depression, grief and trauma, relationship issues, difficult life transitions, divorce and trauma recovery, parent/caregiver coaching and training, Grandparents raising grandchildren and other kinship families.

Tele-medicine in the privacy of your home or office. Anxious? Stressed? Are you a highly sensitive person (HSP)? If so, you may be interested to know that this is not a disorder. Do you have a rich and complex inner life? When you were a child, did your parents or others see you as sensitive or too shy? How can someone be too sensitive? If you do not consider yourself sensitive, perhaps you are in a relationship where sensitivity would enhance your intimacy and partnership. I help individuals and couples struggling with relationships. Do you want to live an authentic life?

I can offer you both short-term therapy or longer term therapy to address marital, couples, family, or individual concerns. Together with assessment of your presenting problem we can decide what is best. Resolution and change is possible. I have experience working with adults with adult children issues and with couples in getting beyond repeating communication patterns that are stressful.

Are you tired of being stuck in the same old cycle? Perhaps you are ready to make a change, but that initial leap is daunting. The possibility of transformation excites you, but the idea of failure holds you back from ever jumping. Maybe this change looks like a more authentic relationship with yourself or with your partner. You deserve to be free to genuinely express your truth and celebrate your authenticity. I am here to let you know you do not have to be alone in this journey.

Are you living a life of quiet desperation? Are self-limiting patterns and behaviors interfering with your spiritual and emotional well-being? Oftentimes life's challenges can leave us feeling trapped with no where to turn. Sometimes all you need is some direction. You don't have to do it alone. I will work with you to create a safe, supportive environment, encouraging change without force, while honoring your inherent wisdom. My approach is compassionate, intuitive, gentle, respectful, experiential & collaborative. I'll encourage you to listen to your body & soul as well as your mind for answers that are right for you.

In the words of my hero, Mr. Rogers, I like you just the way you are. As an autistic therapist, I know what it's like to feel like the rest of the world is in a group text that you somehow missed. It's very important to me that you can bring your whole self to therapy - stims, interests, communication style and all. I'm a very collaborative therapist with an informal style, so I want to work together with you to make therapy accessible and affirming.

In my practice, I use clinical hypnotherapy to help clients resolve issues of emotional trauma, overcome bad habits and self-defeating behaviors, and deal with any other issues interfering with their lives, work, or relationships. Hypnotherapy is invaluable for weight loss, smoking cessation, chronic pain management, drug dependency, and self-esteem issues, including non-medical impotence and low libido. Because clinical hypnosis accesses the subconscious directly, it is extremely effective in the treatment of psychosomatic issues and fears. For example, I also work with dentists' patients who have severe phobic issues with dentistry or who are unable to tolerate anesthesia.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who cares deeply about my clients and their healing. My goal is to help you identify and heal from trauma, past and present that prevents you from living your best life. In addition to cognitive and solution focused therapy, I am trained in somatic modalities such as EMDR, Brainspotting, Hypnotherapy and LENS Neurofeedback. Because I believe everyone is uniquely designed, I use an integrated approach to therapy and work closely with you to create a customized treatment plan.
