Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you (as a result of what happens to you). -Dr. Gabor Mate.

I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing the ongoing impacts of past trauma and are ready to heal and move forward. I have over 10 years of experience working with complex trauma (C-PTSD). I am certified in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and am also trained in Internal Family Systems Therapy. I believe both of these approaches are powerful tools to heal past trauma. I am also trained in Trauma-Focused CBT and DBT. As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe it is important to work at a pace that feels safe to you. I will offer support, guidance, and empathy throughout the process.

I am a bilingual Spanish speaking therapist that specialize in depression, managing self-injurious behaviors, anxiety, self-esteem, divorce, sexual abuse, interpersonal violence/domestic violence, educational issues and coping skills to manage stress.

I have over 7 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. In my clinical practice I place importance in empowering clients to find their own strength

In need of a safe place to process a new or ongoing challenge? I am here to support you.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a passion for evidence-based and heart-centered work that makes a real difference in the lives of individuals that I see. Due to my specialized training and unique skill set, I am well-equipped to serve adults and adolescents struggling with symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Acute Stress Disorder, Depression, and Anxiety. In my work, I focus on short-term, solutions-focused strategies in order to hone in on what concrete changes you can enact in your life immediately; allowing you to quickly experience the benefits from the time and energy you have invested into therapy.

Hi, I welcome and look forward to meeting you. I enjoy working with individuals and couples and believe we all have great capacity to heal ourselves and our relationships. As a therapist, I am interactive, compassionate, intuitive and humorous. I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment and what is important to you is important to me.

Even the children of dedicated, responsible parents can develop behavioral or emotional problems as they move through childhood and adolescence. Sometimes the acting out or other worrisome behaviors occur only at home. Other times, the difficulties erupt at school. Or both. Perhaps what you or the school has tried isn't working. You may be blaming yourself even though it is not your fault. At these times, an experienced child therapist can help you and your family get back on track.

Hi, I’m so glad you’ve found my page. Realizing that you can’t keep going the way you are is the first step towards change. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, persistent mental health issues, or trauma—together we can understand what’s happened for you and where you would like to be. I’d love to work with you to create lasting and meaningful change in your life. I work with individuals ranging from 12 years old and up. I also take couples, polyamorous formations, and families. I serve all LGBTQ populations as well as women, men, trans, GNC, and non-binary folks. Therapy starts with a 15 minute phone consultation, so let's talk!

The word “heal” comes from “to make whole.” Psychotherapy, more aptly psyche-therapy, is a sacred process of tending to the soul wound and waking more fully to one’s aliveness and inherent wholeness. I am deeply passionate about supporting you in healing the fragmented and disowned parts of self that hinder you from living a life of meaningful connections, purposeful self-agency and joy. We work collaboratively to creatively transform unconscious and limiting belief structures, access your resiliencies, welcome emerging truths, skillfully navigate adversity with new tools, and integrate insights for profound and evolving change.

What is most important in therapy is that you feel deeply supported and understood. Finding a therapist who shares your LGBTQ+ identity is one less obstacle to being understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative and interactive, where we work together to reach your goals in a safe and supportive environment. Together we can find new ways to uncover your strengths and resources and make changes that leave you more balanced, happy, and authentic. My style is warm and curious and I seek to create relationships attuned to each client.

Does your anxiety & anger keep getting in the way? Worried you are losing your relationship? Want to build true confidence & authentic connection with others? Feeling burnt-out by constant pressure to achieve or meet others' expectations? You strive for a fulfilling life, yet at times you find yourself exhausted, held back & unable to deal; you find yourself escaping into work, a bottle, with food or porn. Gain the skills needed in order to not just get by, but to truly thrive. If you want to live your best life with less stress, more direction, & a life aligned with your true values, let's work together!

For over 11 years I have been developing a specialization working with adults to repair phase-of-life injuries, traumas, and persistent interpersonal and occupational troubles. I bring an open mind rooted in existential philosophy; I incorporate narrative methods to assist my clients in re-narrating experiences into useful, meaningful and life transformative stories. I have a useful background teaching in secondary schools in California for 12 years prior to becoming a therapist.

Would you like to know yourself better? Do you want to change those old patterns that keep you stuck and dissatisfied? My approach to therapy includes trauma work, mindfulness, which will help you gain awareness of feelings, thoughts and behaviors that often contribute to anxiety, depression and self-doubt. I can support you in improving your relationships with yourself and others, develop your strengths and reach your life goals. Change is possible!

I am guided by the principal that the deeper we can look into ourselves, the deeper we can see into the world - by understanding ourselves, we can understand how we are limited - once we know where we are hung up, we can make more adaptive and healthier choices - we can craft the life we prefer to live. In my work with clients, we often uncover long-held family patterns and dynamics that come from histories of addiction, abuse, toxic shame, codependency and trauma. These patterns become increasingly dissatisfying and uncomfortable to live with. I am here to help.

Hi, my name is Kathleen Vang and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Fresno, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I specialize in depression, anxiety, and trauma using a Client-Centered Approach with interventions from CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness.

I believe that therapy can offer insight, understanding and actionable steps by using self-awareness, acceptance and tools to better our lives. I often work with pre-teens, teens, young adults, families and individuals in creating a safe space to explore challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, career/identity issues, life adjustments, relational challenges and parenting struggles.

My mission is to empower my clients to reclaim their voices. Drawing from my own experiences of feeling unseen and unheard, I recognize the profound pain it can inflict. This personal insight shapes my role as a therapist, where I aim to serve as a facilitator and partner in your journey of transformation.
