I work with women navigating ADHD, anxiety, and burnout in a digitally-overloaded and fast-paced world. Since 2011, I’ve been providing practical, evidence-based support to individuals looking for ways to feel more grounded, calm, and in control of their daily lives. If you feel exhausted trying to care for both yourself and others and overwhelmed trying to complete your never-ending to-do list, I can help you find the insight, routines, and skills needed for the balance you deserve. My approach is feminist at its core and is also LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and HAES-affirming and culturally responsive. I integrate mind-body, cognitive-behavioral, and attachment-based techniques and skills for change. I provide virtual therapy to California, Oregon, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Florida. I take Aetna, Optum, Carelon, and BCBS of Massachusetts insurance plans and provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. I look forward to connecting with you!

Hi there, I am so glad you're here. I understand how daunting it can be to take steps towards healing. Perhaps you feel misunderstood by the people around you. Or perhaps you are accustomed to confronting problems on your own, without the help of others. Whatever you might be facing, I want to assure you that you are not alone. I am honored to walk alongside you as you step outside of your comfort zone to embark on your journey to growth and self-discovery. I offer warm and collaborative therapy to individuals and couples who are seeking to work through past traumas, difficult emotions, communication, and challenges with identity. My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I strive to create a space where you are able to be your authentic self and explore the nooks and crannies of your internal world. If you are seeking a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your inner world, I will be there to hold and support every part of you as we put the pieces together. As your therapist, I can help you re-discover and make peace with the parts of yourself that were overlooked and perhaps pushed away due to past traumas or challenges with self-identity. In working together, you can begin to redefine yourself in ways that feel empowering, authentic, and aligned. Whatever it may be, you are not alone in your journey.

My absolute favorite population to work with is youth, as they align with my personal value of primary prevention. By tackling issues early on, individuals can reduce their suffering over the rest of their lifespan. I tend to challenge my clients to look inward and recognize their roles in issues while promoting compassion within themselves. My overall approach is built upon collaboration, challenges, therapeutic exercises, and self-discovery. I work with children, teens, couples, and families to help them navigate their struggles and facilitate healing through the encouragement of embracing individuals' most authentic selves. I consider each individual within the context of their cultural and societal upbringing, as they influence the individual's unique identities. In my practice, you are the expert of your experiences, and I am here to serve as a confidant, teacher, friend, and more to join you on your journey to healing.

I'm Malinda Bilbrey, a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist from Southern CA. My passion is helping people achieve who they want to be. I am a trauma specialist in mental health. Trauma is defined as anything in life you have gone through that you can't wrap your head around and in fact in makes you have a physical reaction when you think about that "thing" or event. My favorite model is EMDR, founded by Francine Shapiro, due to it's fast, healing results for most mental health issues. It's been research to be effective at 80-90%, especially to address depression, anxiety, PTSD and other disorder. It also works well with trauma related to childhood.

I specialize in trauma, including childhood abuse, complex and traumatic relationships, and the ways our minds and bodies sometimes disconnect to help us survive. If you’ve felt numb, isolated, or like you're just going through the motions, you’re not alone—and I promise there’s nothing wrong with you. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both neuroscience and deep compassion. I offer a space where you don’t have to explain everything in perfect words—where your emotions, your body, and your survival strategies are all welcome. As someone who’s walked this path myself, I know how heavy it can feel to carry pain that was never yours to begin with. Healing is possible, even if it hasn’t worked before. We’ll work gently and intentionally to untangle what’s been holding you back, so you can start to feel safe, connected, and fully yourself. You will never be judged for your choices or your experiences, but rather valued for every aspect of your individual journey. You just need to show up—I’ll meet you there, and we’ll move forward together. You can learn more about me on my website at www.SaraSanfordTherapy.com or call/text 415-870-6494.
