What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

My sessions will feel very safe and relaxed. I understand that the therapy process can sometimes feel scary, therefore I strive to bring you comfort and safety.

Hi, and welcome. I am a hispanic, bilingual, licensed therapist with over 8 years of experience . I currently focus on helping young adults navigate through life’s difficulties. I consider myself part of the new wave of modern therapists. I am a very down to earth therapist, and you will see that reflected in our sessions. Our sessions will feel very safe, relaxed and casual! 

When we're first starting out, a lot of the time in our sessions will be about getting to know you, helping you identify your goals, and mapping out how to help you get there. I am collaborative in the sense that I'll keep us going, but you tell me which direction we're going. I don't tend to assign homework unless we come up with something together, but I do help link sessions together from week to week to make sure you're getting what you want out of therapy. I value feedback, and think therapy is a great place to practice speaking up for yourself and your true desires. I also think therapy sessions can be funny, imaginative, and include as much swearing as you want.

Hi, I’m Emily! I help smart, sensitive people rewrite harmful stories from the past, tame anxiety, and live with more peace and confidence. I specialize in supporting Exvangelicals, religious trauma survivors, and people in faith transition or deconstruction. I’m trained in EMDR therapy to help you heal and reduce trauma responses so you can embody your values, not your past.

I hope to provide individuals with the tools necessary to manage their emotional health to help manage the daily stressors in their life

I am a clinician with 11 years post master’s experience working with children, teens, and adults. I have experience working with couples, individuals, and their families. I utilize a humanistic, client-centered, and strength-based approach. I am an ally for those who are LGBTQIA+ and support ethical, non-monogamy lifestyles. I approach clients with a non-judgmental stance and understand that change takes time.

I’ll ask you how you’ve been since I’ve last seen you and sometimes that’s enough to fill our full session! If not, I’ll ask if there is something in particular that you want to explore, and if that’s a no as well, then I’ll suggest an experiential exercise or mindfulness activity. 

You’re overwhelmed by being everything to everyone. While everyone else sleeps, your mind races with worst case scenarios as you dissect a minor experience from earlier in the day. It’s hard making decisions about even the simplest things. Life just isn’t as much fun as you want. You’ve tried talking to your friends about this stuff, but it never seems to help or change anything. Stacks of self help books go unread on your nightstand and following lifestyle influencers makes your self esteem plummet. Life is hard and it doesn’t come with an instruction manual. You deserve to be truly seen and heard without judgement. Your own answers live within you, and when you reach out for support, I’ll help you find them. 

A typical session with me begins with YOU and what you are wanting for your life! I meet my clients on their level to assist in developing goals, while bringing Holistic healing to each session to overcome life stressors and challenges. I thrive on providing a safe, calm, and non-judgemental space for my clients to express their thoughts, feelings, and aspirations freely! I am more than happy to walk this journey with you and guide you towards the light to achieve optimal wellness!

Hi! I am a passionate therapist with a focus on Holistic wellness & healing. Mind, body, and spirit balance and clarity are two vital components to living a healthier and happier life! I look forward to our paths crossing so I may assist you in your journey of finding a positive light within yourself and your environment!

In therapy sessions, I primarily utilize Attachment-Focused EMDR and talk therapy, Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), and various interventions from Dialectical and Cognitive Behavior Therapy.

Hello! I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist, currently offering virtual appointments and in-person appointments in Sacramento, CA.

I am deeply committed to creating a safe, open, and honest space for you to: 1) share, explore, and process emotions, thoughts, and experiences 2) confront unhealthy and problematic emotional, mental, and behavioral patterns 3) build your self-confidence and self-worth 4) learn and practice healthy coping skills and techniques to resolve conflict and/or generally enhance your personal and inter-personal relationships ​. We will work together to identify areas of concern, create goals, and implement tangible and results oriented action steps towards realizing those goals.

Hello and welcome! I am a psychotherapist who is passionate about working with individuals and families seeking positive change and compassionate support. I specialize in working with diverse clients, especially young adults, who are navigating through life transitions and who are experiencing anxiety/stress, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, depression and grief/loss. I believe that while pain is inevitable and often uncontrollable, suffering is a choice based on how we process, cope and react to challenges that life throws our way. Therefore, I am focused on ensuring that my clients gain the necessary insight, skills and practical tools to learn how to honor and express their pain without allowing it to control them. Holistic and integrative in my approach, I aim to uniquely tailor therapy sessions to each client’s needs by utilizing a variety of techniques that expand insight and encourage emotional, behavioral and cognitive change.

Typically I get a sense of what my client wants to talk about during that session. We typically explore how that topic related to other issues we have discussed or how it is new. Whether the topic is new or familiar it adds another layer of understanding we talk about how this fits into our understanding of my client's strengths, skills or needs. Then we typically develop a plan or framework to test out based on this new understanding.

I am a licensed therapist in NC. I focus on providing compassioned based therapy that helps people build awareness around patterns, habits and experiences that impacts their mental health.

Curious about what your sessions will look like? Well, let me tell you. After you complete the first session paperwork online, you will have your first session. In our first session, we will go over the finer details of the paperwork, address any questions and then jump into what is bringing you in. For my couples, we will discuss how the two of you met in addition to what is bringing you into therapy. I also send my couples a Gottman Connect assessment to complete. This assessment will give me a more detailed overview of what is going on for the two of you. You will also receive a pdf of the tools that will be helpful for you given the results of the assessment. Our second session, we will complete a family map, so that I can understand where your strong and tense relationships are, what major events you have experienced in your life and patterns in family dynamics. We will also discuss your supportive friendships. For couples, I like to do the family maps with one partner at a time, so we can either split this session in half where I meet with one partner for the first half of the session and the other partner the second half of the session. OR I can meet with one partner during the second session and the other partner the third session. Our third session (0r maybe fourth for couples), we will get specific in setting the goals that you have for therapy. Throughout these sessions and in the sessions that follow we will also be discussing what is going on for you and what you are currently needing based on what you’re experiencing. I will be giving you tools along the way.

Welcome! I help individuals and couples make sense of their overwhelm by defining the problem and giving them tools to practice in session. You will also be assigned homework and I will provide you with the resources you need (quizzes, pdf’s, book recommendations, etc) to achieve your goals outside of your session. I am a licensed social worker and I am trained in marriage and family therapy. What that means is that in therapy we will look at the patterns in your life, your connections with others and the impact of your environment when working toward your goals. I love realness in therapy. I value being honest and direct with you and welcome your honesty and directness as well.

A safe, judgment free space to process your experiences and feelings.  There will be moments where I challenge you, this is to help you recognize your strengths and grow.

I am an affirming Black female in a large body, that strives to help everyone feel empowered to be their authentic selves. I have always been passionate about helping others. With over twenty-two years in the helping profession, I have had the opportunity to assist many souls experience healthy change. My goal and purpose in life is to help others navigate through life's challenges with a holistic and organic approach. I have exemplified this in my practice as a Certified Trauma Professional. During my time working with those struggling with substance use disorder, I recognized that trauma was at the root of substance use, and traditional talk therapy didn't always work. Implementing EMDR and Brainspotting into my learning and practice has had such a positive impact with clients.
