Hello! My name is Anh Tran, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I focus on connecting and building trust first and foremost, allowing each client to lead their treatment. Having a specialty in art therapy, I typically use art and creative modalities to support clients towards self reflection and deeper insight into themselves and discover their own wisdom throughout their treatment. I am a first generation Vietnamese-American woman of color who is passionate about dismantling the stigma around therapy, mental health, and empowering ourselves and communities to reconnect to our true self.

In my therapeutic practice, I emphasize a secure environment for those seeking therapeutic support. With a foundation in empathy, I establish a professional alliance, enabling clients to express their innermost thoughts and concerns. Leveraging evidence-based modalities, I tailor strategies to each client's unique needs. Through active listening and strategic guidance, I aid clients in achieving clarity and enhancing coping skills. My ultimate goal is to empower individuals and couples to harness their innate resilience, deepen self-awareness, and foster personal growth.

Hello! I am Stephen Taft, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. We all reach points in our life when we need some additional support to break out of problem patterns or to manage difficult issues. If you have been experiencing trouble in your relationships, anxiety, depression or have been feeling overwhelmed; it may be a good time to start therapy. Together we can work to build upon your personal strengths to support your growth in order to create a happier and healthier life.

The Therapist for People Who Don't Like Therapy... My biggest goal in therapy is to get you out of my office and back into your life! With that said, I have found that most people, at some point in their life, could benefit from some professional listening and feedback. Our friends and family are great sources of support, but are often too closely involved to provide the kind of unbiased perspective that we need to help us out of a rut or to enact the true change that we really desire.

Today you're a step closer to making meaningful changes in your life and carving your own path toward growth, fulfillment, and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, I'll collaborate with and support you to cope more effectively with anxiety and depression, uncover and develop your potential, build a sense of belonging and strengthen healthy relationships, and accomplish what's uniquely important to you. While you can't change what's happened in the past, it's never too late to reach a better understanding of the life patterns that are limiting you and begin to create a better life aligned with your values and goals.

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?

Hello, I received a Masters degree from the Boston University School of Social Work, postgraduate training in addiction, couples treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy and brief therapy at the Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Hospital; licensed since 1990. Areas of expertise include addiction disorders, dual-diagnosis and couples therapy. I work with adults and youth experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disturbances and trauma; and utilize evidence-based interventions including cognitive-behavioral, dialectical, motivational and trauma-focused care. My goal is to help people attain wellness efficiently, thoroughly and safely.

I am accepting new clients! I have had the privilege of working with a diverse set of clients with a wide range of backgrounds and needs. I offer a supportive space that counters the normativity within this culture that often is oppressive to people based on their identities. I recognize that what healing journey one person, relationship or family may need may be different than another and help to support you on that journey. In addition to being neurodivergent and transgender myself, I have also supported folks who are neurodivergent, queer and/or plural.

I am motivated to work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, grief; feelings of being overwhelmed, sadness, frustration and loneliness. I work with clients who just feel stuck. I meet my clients where they are to collaborate on their wellness needs to meet their goals. I believe that we all have the capacity to become the best versions of ourselves within our families, relationships and community.

Are you feeling hopeless and stuck? Is trauma impacting you from living a fulfilled life? Are you struggling with your relationships with family and friends? Are you being triggered daily and reliving old trauma? Do you want to thrive instead of struggle? Traumatic experiences can impact every facet of our current lives if it hasn’t been processed. If you have experienced trauma that inhibits you to live in the moment and thrive instead of struggle, maybe it's time to begin therapy. Processing traumatic experiences can improve your perception of yourself and can positively impact your relationships with people in your life.

I have many years experience in treating children, families and individuals. I treat attachment issues, behavioral problems, depression, low self-esteem, anger issues, anxiety, trauma, sleep issues, aggression, tantrums, lying, bullying, OCD and much more. I also assist families in adjusting to new situations such as separation/divorce, moving, birth of a child, grief and loss of a loved one etc.

I am a Harvard-trained psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, and life's challenges. My treatment approach is collaborative, interactive, holistic (examining all factors that affect your functioning), and strength-based (identifying your strengths). I focus on symptom reduction and skills-building to optimize your quality of life. I will work with you to tailor a treatment plan that meets your specific needs and goals. I am bilingual in Vietnamese. My office is located in Midtown and is half a block from the light rail.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of control? I offer effective and compassionate psychotherapy services to adults, teens, children, and families. I specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. You'll find me to be a compassionate listener, working with you to help you achieve the changes you would like to see in your life. Together we will identify and develop your strengths and interests so you can achieve your goals. I offer a safe place for you to talk about your fears and worries, body image and self-esteem struggles, relationship challenges, career and life transitions.

During these stressful times, many of us are experiencing higher levels of anxiety and/or sadness. Are you worried about your child or teen, concerned about your marriage or struggling with family relationships? Do you need new tools to help you feel more confident in parenting your adopted or special needs child/teen? Are you a member of the LGBTQ+ community who is looking for a supportive therapist who understands your unique strengths and challenges. I created American River Family Counseling because I believe that we all deserve happy, healthy and connected relationships.

Try as we might, sometimes happiness and contentment always seem just out of reach. Depression, anxiety and stress can make getting out of bed in the morning a daunting task. Troubles in your relationship or conflict in the family can make you feel helpless or overwhelmed. You don’t like yourself and never feel good enough at work or around certain people. Maybe you just can’t quite put your finger on exactly what is wrong, you just know you don’t want to hurt anymore.

Our Adolescent Program at Recovery Happens exists to help families navigate difficult seasons. Balancing life, school and work, relationships, time management- it can be exhausting to feel like you are running on empty with little chance to recharge. Our program offers individual, family, and group therapy (IOP) sessions for adolescents. This can include music, games, art activities, movement- there are times when you just need to throw things at a dart board, paint some song lyrics, or brainstorm a self-care plan for finals week.

So often we compromise our own needs to please someone else. We might have learned to do this as children to get along with our parents and family members. As we move into adulthood, this habit stays with us and can cause us to feel lonely, confused, not good enough, and a sense that something important is missing in our lives.

I help adults who experience feelings of anxiety, depression, fear, or defeat from the pressures of work-life, family, relationships, self-criticism, addiction, and other co-occurring disorders. I offer support to the experiences unique to the LGBTQIA+ community. Part of my practice is also devoted to creating a safe space and validating the often-discounted struggles of ethical vegans, animal advocates, and people who are grieving the loss of their animal family members. I will work with you to build and apply safe coping skills to assist in breaking through your obstacles and challenges, despite your circumstances.
