Out of Network Therapists in Fresno, CA

The driving force behind my counseling practice is HOPE. We work with adult individuals and couples to help find hope, healing, insight, and individualized solutions when peace and joy are lost, trust is broken, or when life just gets especially hard. We work with problems including, but not limited to depression, anxiety, relationships (couple and family), stress, conflict, communication, infidelity, loss of connection and/or trust, anger, parenting, phase of life problems, etc. We also enjoy walking alongside individuals who prefer to utilize therapy as a form of ongoing self-care, rather than for problem-focused purposes.

Do you ever feel like you are not really living, but just getting by? Is it difficult for you to trust others or show people how you are truly feeling? Individuals enter therapy for many reasons. We have experience working with a variety of concerns and are eager to help you reach your goals. We hope to walk beside you through your journey by providing a supportive therapeutic environment that allows for increased hope, positive and adaptive change, and for each person to be the best version of themselves.

Hello! I am grateful you are spending time to find support and move towards change/ in what you want in life. I believe people have the ability to be attuned with themselves emotionally. It is when we are able to connect with ourselves deeply that we can lean in and pay attention to our body’s signals. Learning to be attuned with our body is not a natural process and in doing so we can learn to live a more attuned life. I am extremely passionate about helping individuals with finding ways to grow and coming alongside them to get there.

My goal is to provide quality psychological services to those struggling with daily life. I have experience working with adults and adolescents who experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, and other mental health struggles.

I am a Jungian oriented psychotherapist who enjoys working with couples, individuals, teens and children. I employ traditional "talk therapy" but will also work with dreams and creative expressions of the psyche through drawing, painting, sandplay and writing, depending on the client's needs and preferences. I have a master's in counseling psychology with an emphasis in depth psychology. I am seeking certification as an Imago Relationship Therapist and certification as sandplay therapist. I am well qualified to help clients with: relationship issues; depression and anxiety; trauma recovery; spiritual issues including grief and loss; and child developmental and trauma issues.

Family and relationships are an integral part of an individual's ability to be happy, and healthy. I believe that all individuals can benefit from the unique relationship that is built between the therapist and client. Individual's who have difficulty with mental health problems are particularly appropriate for treatment. I have more than 11 years experience working with children with severe behavioral and attachment difficulties, and the family's/friends who love them. The parent/partner relationship is a particularly special relationship that requires support, attention, and caring reflection. I am calm and supportive.

Hey there! I'm Sam! If you're feeling down, not yourself, anxious or just need to "get back on track" with life, you've come to right spot. A calm and approachable environment is something I take pride in, a place where you can be yourself in whatever form that may be.

You may have been feeling as though you've been given a life without an instruction manual. Relationships might be more challenging for you than not, and in comparing yourself to other people, you feel like something is missing, that might explain how you end up with the "same person" over and over - the disrespectful, distant, controlling or dismissive person that the previously-ideal partner became, after a while. This is a pattern that can occur with Complex PTSD, a common situation with many of the clients I speak to, which can be resolved with psychoeducation and trauma therapy.

I specialize in working with first responders, including law enforcement, fire personnel, EMS, as well as veterans and current military personnel. First responders often deal with a wide variety of occupational stressors, that often impact many areas of their life. Sometimes, those stressors can cause trauma responses, depression, anxiety, and marital/family issues, among others. I focus on helping first responders manage their stress levels and decrease any symptoms they may be experiencing, while also creating a life worth living.

For the past 10 years, I have worked with children, adults, couples, and families in order to improve their pattern of interaction with others. Relationships are essential to our lives, but at times it can be difficult and painful in relationships. Whether I work with you individually or in a couples/family setting, the goal of therapy is to improve the joy you have in your relationships. Seeking help can be overwhelming, but it is most effective when you are ready and willing to work towards the future you want for yourself.

Healing from life challenges can feel confusing, overwhelming, and lonely. I believe therapy should be a process of growth and change that can support you with understanding how to heal yourself. My goal is to guide you through this process and help you to find the clarity, meaning, and tools you need to live a fulfilling life. As a practitioner, I will work to build a safe space for you to feel heard and seen, unconditionally as you are. My approach is eclectic and humanistic, which encourages you as the expert of your life to use your intuition to find solutions to challenges.

Are you a parent concerned about your teen's well-being? Is your teenager facing academic stress, struggling with peer relationships, or navigating the challenges of adolescence? I specialize in working with teens, offering a unique blend of expertise, empathy, and a deep understanding of adolescent development.

Whether it's academic pressure, peer dynamics, identity exploration, or family challenges, I am equipped to guide your teen through these crucial years.

Have you ever felt life has to be okay all the time? Change is a normal part of life. However, we do not always know how to best navigate through the emotions brought on by these changes. Therapy can be the safe space needed to start your journey towards reaching your personal goals.

How long has it been since you felt at peace in your life....in your family...in your relationships...in yourself? We chose an olive leaf as our logo because and olive leaf symbolizes peace, and we believe that peace comes by nurturing healthy relationship connections. Maybe you have a difficult child, teen, spouse or extended family member. You want peace in that relationship, and you wake up every morning hoping things will be better....but the same unhealthy patterns happen again and again. You are exhausted from searching for ways to stop the behavior, which only causes more tension in the relationship.

You want to feel happy, free and vibing...(ya I did just say that!) but are struggling to get there on your own. Maybe you related to Ted Lasso when he had a panic attack at a football game and had to walk away; you may have thought "omg samee!" Or maybe you relate to the main character in Never Have I Ever, trying to heal after a traumatic year but your thoughts and feelings keep getting in the way. Guilt, shame, fear (is a liar by the way), sadness, excessive worry, anger, unresolved hurt...all these are very human emotions and there is hope! And if you're a person of faith, guess what, you can have Jesus AND a therapist!
