Therapists in Sacramento, CA

Struggling about your past, present, or future can feel like being trapped in a maze, isolated and drained of hope. Hi there, I’m Marissa Jian, an LMFT in California offering teletherapy to support individuals navigating these overwhelming feelings. Life is a challenging journey, but remember, you’re not alone; together, we’ll devise a plan to find a way through it. I’ve worked extensively with kids, families, and adults. With over a decade of experience, I understand the complexities of family dynamics and their challenges.

I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 25 years. I believe that clients come to counseling not only to gain a better understanding of themselves, but with a desire to learn new skills and tools to apply to their lives. Please call me personally to discuss your needs.

Are you a woman whose life looks “good” from the outside, and yet it still feels like something is missing? You’ve accomplished a lot in life, but don’t feel the sense of fulfillment you expected. A big life change—maybe a breakup, new job, new marriage, change in family dynamic, or move—has highlighted the fact that you’re still not as happy or content as you want to be. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You want to gain deeper insight into yourself & your past experiences, and you’re ready to change your “default setting” and start creating new patterns in your life.

I applaud you for the courage it takes to explore personal change and enrich your life to achieve your personal goals. I assure you that whatever fears, regrets, resentment or grief you are carrying, you are not alone and there is a path to a lighter and brighter life. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to explore your inner wisdom as you navigate solutions to life experiences. I cultivate a welcoming, supportive and safe environment while understanding what "speaks" to you for therapy to be effective. Each person is unique, therefore my therapeutic approach is tailored to match the needs of the individual and situation.

Hi, my name is James "Jim" Husen. I am a Psychologist. My approach to therapy is to first do no harm, then help the client with his/her symptoms and figure out the root or source of those problems and help the client with that too- give a person a fish, the family eats for a day, teach a person to fish, the family eats for a lifetime and beyond when the children are taught to fish as well.

Hello! My name is Dana Ferry, Licensed Marriage Family Therapist. I have found for myself an incredible benefit in scientifically proven healing therapies such as meditation and EMDR to treat trauma.

There is a lot in life to process, anxiety, grief, depression, intergenerational trauma as well as physical and emotional pain.

When you need help - and all of us need help sometime - you want to tell your story to someone who is warm and supportive. Someone who is intelligent, trained, and familiar with the problems you face. These problems may involve family or marital relationships, insecurity, anxiety, depression, loss, or grief. Or the problems may be specific to people undergoing divorce, immigrants struggling with American language and culture, or artists striving to make their mark. All of us want someone on our side who is caring and helpful, someone who can clarify and show the way. My goal is to be that person for my clients.
