Family Therapy in 95827

In my 32 years of working with Children, Adolescents, Couples, and Multi-Cultural, Single Parent, Traditional/Non-Traditional Families, I have found the greatest success by using Albert Ellis' Rational Emotional Cognitive Behavioral approach to treatment. As an Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor/Marriage Family Child Counselor (BBS Board approved to provide assessment and therapy to Couples and Families), my work involves psychological assessment and testing, performing in-home/in-school functional behavior analysis for Spectrum Disorder, IEP mental health representation, collateral work with medical professionals, substance abuse, and transition from trauma.

The Anxiety Treatment Center is located in Sacramento, California and specializes in treating anxiety and related disorders.

We believe in an integrative approach looking at the role of biological, medical, psychological and social aspects of these disorders. We provide exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced staff who are compassionate and sensitive to each individuals needs, offering treatment services to children, adolescents, and adults.

Our Adolescent Program at Recovery Happens exists to help families navigate difficult seasons. Balancing life, school and work, relationships, time management- it can be exhausting to feel like you are running on empty with little chance to recharge. Our program offers individual, family, and group therapy (IOP) sessions for adolescents. This can include music, games, art activities, movement- there are times when you just need to throw things at a dart board, paint some song lyrics, or brainstorm a self-care plan for finals week.

Imagine feeling peace-even in the face of life's challenges. Anxiety and depression. Relationship problems with partners, family members, or others. Divorce, death, and other tragedies. Imagine knowing you have the emotional awareness and the skills you need to deal with whatever life brings you. The wherewithal to meet challenges, to achieve better outcomes, and - ultimately - to heal the wounds that can make peace seem elusive or fleeting. The choice to seek therapy is itself a big step toward healing. My role is to help guide you as you move through self-discovery, to self-awareness, to self-direction.

Are there days when you feel like a failure, let yourself down? Or your family down?, trouble concentrating, thoughts that you would be better off dead or of hurting yourself in some way? Is it hard for you to get out of bed or your home? Go to school or work? Get along with others? Relationship/marriage problems? Are you a worrier?

I work with individuals, couples, families, and children. I believe when relationships are torn apart due to unresolved issues, severe life stressors and negative behaviors affect life functioning.The last alternative anyone wants to seek is guidance. Allow me to help develop reachable and attainable goals and outcomes.

I am a licensed therapist who can guide you in the process of becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be. I use listening skills, humor, and reflective/challenging questions to help you discover the changes you can make to improve your life. I provide the support you need not only to make these changes, but to recognize, maintain, and celebrate the progress you achieve over time. Together, we will develop realistic goals and find the solutions that can make a difference to your well-being.

Do you ever question if the bad things that happened to you are your fault? Maybe you spend a significant amount of time overthinking or trying to avoid the thoughts and feelings you experience. This is a normal response for many of us, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Together we can explore and identify the strengths that you already have and use them as a foundation to build new skills for your healing. As your therapist, I will validate the struggles you are experiencing and challenge you to develop new skills that will not only improve your relationship with yourself, but also, with others.

My greatest passion and inspiration is walking alongside individuals during their journey of self-discovery and improvement. This passion for helping others set me on my path of obtaining a Master's in Social Work, with a concentration in Health and Aging, and subsequently becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Are you dealing with some stressful life events? Are you feeling overwhelmed and don’t know what to do? Well, I am here to listen and walk through this with you. Our thoughts, emotions and actions are all connected with each other which can make daily life a struggle in challenging moments. Let me offer my time, empathy, and skills for you to learn how to navigate this challenging time. I offer a nonjudgmental and authentic space in order to help you find a path forward.

My years training and work has helped patients gain self-awareness, increase in their positive perceptions of themselves, gain and building upon new strategies in breaking unhealthy cycles, and addressing the "elephant in the room". It is understood that stressors & life changes happen; so knowing these challenges we can get stuck on where to go next. So, let me assist in gaining the joy and happiness in a healthy functional manner that you so deserve.

The first step in any journey takes the courage to start. And you already have! You're here. I know there is still a lot of shame around being vulnerable and asking for help. We live in a world that often demands perfection, high expectations, and pushing ourselves to the max. Struggling with depression, anger, or trauma does not make you a failure. It makes you human. I believe we all have the innate ability to heal ourselves, and therapy can support you in finding that clarity and empowerment.

Life transitions, relationship challenges, struggles with past or present traumas, and loss of loved ones can consume us. Being able to walk through life feeling the strength and resilience to work through and take on these life struggles with grace and confidence can feel unattainable. By exploring these challenges and learning the tools needed to live life fully, you can feel whole again.

Clients tend to thrive in therapy when there is a drive to change and improve their quality of life. Whether it be on an athletic field, the office, or in their relationship, those who are ready with an open mind and looking to address the things holding them back will always come out on top.

I am passionate about helping people and learning about their lives. I believe that we are the authors of our own story and it is up to us to bring about change; however, sometimes we need a little guidance to get to where we want to get and overcome struggles that may seem out of our control. I believe that it is our responsibility to work towards our goals and heal from the things that continue to hurt us. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, from all cultural backgrounds.

We are a non-profit counseling agency that offers our fees on a sliding scale ranging from $40 - $130 based on monthly income or your ability to pay.

I specialize in counseling adolescents and adults, although I am not limited to that demographic. I also enjoy working with couples. I help clients discover that they have the power within them to overcome obstacles, to express their needs and wants appropriately and make the choice to reach their goals.
