Therapists in West Sacramento, CA

As James Baldwin famously said, "not everything that has been faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed unless faced", I also offer you the following poem: "When we feel safe, anything is possible. We become unstoppable. Because we have a firm ground to launch and a safe ground to land. We can then stand. Voice ourselves, show ourselves. Life becomes a dance."

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who cares deeply about my clients and their healing.

I applaud you for the courage it takes to explore personal change and enrich your life to achieve your personal goals. I assure you that whatever fears, regrets, resentment or grief you are carrying, you are not alone and there is a path to a lighter and brighter life. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to explore your inner wisdom as you navigate solutions to life experiences. I cultivate a welcoming, supportive and safe environment while understanding what "speaks" to you for therapy to be effective. Each person is unique, therefore my therapeutic approach is tailored to match the needs of the individual and situation.

Are you and your partner having trouble communicating without dissolving into conflict that seems to never get resolved? Are you tired of feeling anxious and walking on egeshells? Do you have difficulty expressing yourself and getting your needs met? Do you often end up in the same relationship rut without being able to find a way out of an unsatisfying cycle of blame and regret?

People are complicated. Life can be challenging and all of us get stuck from time to time. My approach with clients is to sit with them as they process, learn, grow, and develop. My therapeutic approach focuses on validating, teaching, empathy, compassion, and confronting problematic thought processes and ideas. I seek to help my clients gain the tools they need to continue growing and developing throughout their lives. It’s my great privilege to walk with my clients on this journey. I am a trauma informed and insight-oriented therapist. I work with individuals, couples, and children.

My name is James Milner. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist from the San Francisco Bay Area. I have extensive training and experience in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I believe in helping people live better lives.

Relationships move us, give us life, and can even suck the life out of us. We were made for them. That is why I specialize in them - relationships with friends, family, colleagues, ourselves, our higher power. Properly realigning these problematic, strained, estranged relationships transforms your suffering into purposeful, worthwhile living. Ultimately your fullest life is my goal as your therapist. The greatest gift you can bring to your relationships is you. The best gift you can give the world is your relationships. What will you choose to do with these two important aspects of your one life?

I promote growth and healing through compassionate insight, reflection and strategic direction! Acquired Knowledge seems most beneficial when put to use to benefit ourselves or others, for as we serve and engage with others, we more readily discover our true selves. I subscribe to Emerson's notion; "Do the thing, and you will have the power" rather than give me the power and then I will act! I enjoy being a contributing factor to others growth and advancement and relish witnessing the blossoming of added confidence, enhanced self-esteem. and true growth!

Hello, my name is Tyree Griffith and I currently serve as an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor here in California. I work with individuals to overcome their anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, finding their place in life, and relationship or family conflicts. My goal is to work with you to come up with solutions to overcome these stressors or interpersonal conflicts that may be causing you to feel helpless/hopeless, lack motivation, or just stuck in life.

Life is full of challenges to personal growth, and these issues often bring up feelings of fear and uncertainty. These and other difficult emotions may affect how you view yourself and relationships. We'll collaborate to create a safe space for exploring, unpacking, and navigating what's getting in the way of building the life you want. Our sessions will be aimed at healing from intergenerational trauma and inherited fears to release you from the negative self-talk hindering you. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, client-centered, and strengths-based to support you in identifying and reworking unhelpful thinking patterns.

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself as I am then I can change." - Dr. Carl Rogers. We emphasize to every person who comes through our door that they are the experts in their care. We provide the space and proper conditions to help this person live their life to their fullest potential.

I believe there is a solution to every "problem." I am solution focused and look at the individual as a complete human being with everything needed to be happy and successful right inside. I operate from a wellness model rather than a disease model. Being an adult means taking accountability for what does not benefit one under one's own skin. I take a humanistic, cognitive approach focusing on skills grounded in mindfulness and self-observation. With new insights and skills, we can operate from love instead of fear, from the present moment instead of childhood belief systems, with compassion instead of defenses and blame.
