Therapists in Sacramento, CA

Hello! I’m Suzie Spehling. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) at Foresight. Finding a therapist is not an easy task for most, let alone the right one for you! Congratulations on taking the first step! I am a Certified Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist (CBT), specializing in trauma and grief, as well as a Dialectical Behavioral Therapist (DBT), specializing in managing stress, regulating emotions and improving relationships, which means I help you understand and work through your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, while learning to make permanent, positive life changes! I am also a specialist in treating ADHD.

I don't assume to know why you are looking for a therapist, but I do know that choosing one can be a hard decision to make. Like any relationship, it is hard to find someone that fits into your life and works well with what you bring into the partnership. I bring openness and honestly into the room along with a bit of humor and straightforwardness.

Therapy can be a powerful tool in deepening relationships, moving through pain, tolerating discomfort, and understanding the unknown! My therapeutic work is rooted in guiding clients to realize their own potential. I develop an empathic, therapeutic relationship with my clients to generate self-directed change. By meeting you where you are at, and helping you see parts of yourself that may feel inaccessible, we can move toward you living life the way you want to.

If you have past trauma then you likely also experience anxiety. I specialize in clients with anxiety due to trauma, ADHD, or OCD. I work with individuals and with couples. Relationships can be confusing and painful for those who have had past trauma, ADHD or OCD. However, there are ways to heal through your past and experience a healthy relationship.

I am the right therapist for you if you are an adult suffering from old childhood trauma, PTSD, ADHD, depression, personal anxiety, social anxiety with loneliness, OCD, difficulty feeling and expressing emotions, prolonged grief, inability to find meaning and purpose in life, difficulty being vulnerable, having relationship problems with your spouse, partner or children, people-pleasing, codependency, inability to prioritize your needs, feelings, and interests, and loss of curiosity, fun or adventure. I am currently accepting new clients.

Life can be an overwhelming experience for anyone. Things can become especially challenging when a person feels stressed by circumstances beyond their control. Individuals who come to therapy are often very capable human beings who have experienced something in their life that has left them needing some extra support. Many times people begin therapy feeling down and lost. Through a person's work in therapy, they are often able to find some light on their path to help guide them through the pain. This shift creates an opportunity for a person to improve their day-to-day functioning and overall, they FEEL BETTER!!

Hi. I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in California. I have extensive training and clinical experience in trauma therapies. My perspective is that childhood trauma has a lifelong impact on the ability of people to like, accept, and have compassion for themselves; to feel, express, and regulate their emotions; to be vulnerable, honest, and communicative in relationships; to take risks at work and in relationships; and to find meaning, satisfaction, and joy in life.
