Preteens / Tweens (11 to 13) Therapists in Roseville, CA

Providing evaluations, behavioral services, and ongoing therapeutic services for individuals and couples. There are no guarantees therapy will give you what you want but it may increase your awareness and understanding. It could help you to adapt to different life problems, relational issues and to make more educated choices. Finding a balance between logic and emotions is critical but learning a way to make reactions to events constructive instead of destructive is essential for promoting growth and development in our life and in our relationships. I am past military and I will always welcome veterans and their families to treatment.

Dr. Volker has over 25 years of clinical experience and will provide a safe, warm and healing environment for you and your loved ones. I believe in collaborating with you to select treatment goals that bring health, happiness and success to your life. Therapy can help when you are feeling sad, empty or hopeless; experiencing anxiety; feeling irritable and annoyed; experiencing conflict in a relationship; experiencing intrusive or upsetting memories; grieving the loss of a loved one; repeating familiar unsuccessful patterns; or adjusting to a transition in your life.

*My practice is currently full* I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a behavioral background. I believe this background helps me to see patterns in behavior and relationships that may need changing. I have been described as warm, empathetic, non-judgmental, and playful. My experience includes working with adults, teens, children, and families impacted by autism, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and chronic illness. Finding the right fit for a therapist is important. Give me a call, send me an email, or check out my website for more information.

I enjoy working with a variety of clients; families, individuals, adults, and teens. Nothing is more fulfilling to me than being a witness to someone's healing from their pain and moving on to live their life! I get excited when I work with families who come in at their wits' end about how they will ever get along, and, magically, after working together, they all learn how to communicate effectively and enjoy each other. Give me a call and let's get going!

Welcome. I know that life can be overwhelming sometimes, and it can be hard to be kind to yourself. I would love to work with you toward any goals you want to achieve whether it be managing emotions or developing a better relationship with yourself. I believe that the most important aspect in the therapeutic process is developing a strong connection with my clients and that begins with empathy and understanding. My goal is to create a space that is safe and judgment free. Ultimately, you are the expert on yourself. I am here to support you on your journey of growth and healing.

My approach will be to listen to you and find out what you want and need, and we will work together on deciding the path I tend to use what therapeutic interventions are best to assist you and what will work best for you. I believe you will find that I listen and reflect well on what you are expressing and can help guide you to meeting the agreed upon goals. I like to create a safe place for someone to feel they can express themselves, their thoughts and their feelings. I am empathetic and I believe I connect well with people which helps guide people to reaching their goals. I think it is important to use some humor at times as well

For couples: Would you like to recapture the feelings you had towards one another when you first committed your lives to one another? So many things can appear to kill all those wonderful feelings and the joy you once had, but these feelings can be restored and even built on. I specialize in emotionally focused couple therapy. It has an amazing positive impact even in the face of affairs, loss of sexual interest, lives too busy to connect, loss of intimacy, traumatic histories, and so many other issues. This wonderful method has helped hundreds of thousands of couples discover an even deeper connection.

**My practice is currently full. I am unable to take on new patients at this time. Sometimes we consciously want to change things in our life. Other times we are compelled. Therapy is an avenue that can provide help, support, and direction at these crucial times. I collaborate with individuals, children, teens, and families to identify and address these needs. I am privileged to work with individuals and families, helping them move forward.

I'd like to commend you for making the effort to safeguard your greatest assets: Your marriage, your relationships with family and friends, and your own mental health. Given our current societal state of affairs and tremendous declines in other assets, most everyone is feeling stressed-out, emotionally and physically drained, and pushed beyond their limits. I think it is fair to say that a vast majority have found themselves relying on their survival instincts to get through these tough economic times. Unfortunately, our survival instincts only benefit us in the short-term but do not help us in our pursuit to find resolution to life's problems.

Are you seeking a comprehensive assessment with recommendations tailored to your unique needs? Do you suspect a Specific Learning Disorder (like “dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia”), ADHD/“ADD,” Autism, or an Intellectual Disability? If so, you (or your loved one) may qualify for accommodations in school or for important exams. If you are having trouble getting school support, do need an advocate? Or do you need an “IQ Test” for G.A.T.E. entry, or for MENSA qualification? A consultation can be useful to help develop skills, and to find answers. An Educational Psychologist can help with each of these areas, and much more.

It is my belief that we all possess the strengths and abilities necessary to overcome whatever challenges we may face during our lifetime. Sometimes we may lose sight of this through the many struggles life can throw at us and need the assistance and support of someone who has the knowledge and tools to help us realize our abilities, get "unstuck", and achieve our goals. I work collaboratively with you to remove obstacles and work toward realizing a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

As your therapist, my focus is on improving your quality of life. Whether your past haunts you or your life overwhelms you, I will help you in developing healthy ways of coping and achieving more balance in your life. That is how my therapy works. I can help you find your way.

Now, today, it is your time: Be like the teens, who finally feel fully understood.

Or the thousands of "angry people,” who use Art and Sand Tray Therapy to grow a level of self-respect that everyone can see, and appreciate. LET’S CREATE A SPACE OF TRUST SO THAT YOU CAN SAFELY HEAL.

Studies show that the most healing factor of successful therapy is the relationship between you and your therapist.
