You're struggling to find your footing, held back by the weight of traumatic experiences or just trying to navigate the day riddled with anxiety or unrelenting sadness. You can remember a time when life didn't seem so heavy but wonder if it's possible to return to that place. You are surrounded by others who are unaware of the depth of your suffering, and you work hard to not burden them with your problems. You bury yourself in distractions just to experience momentary relief. You realize something has to change, but what does that even mean?

Is your stress level through the roof? Do you feel exhausted, but yet you can’t sleep? Overwhelmed with worry or frustration? Are your relationships on edge? Or do you feel "stuck"? It's easy to lose your focus, your joy and your presence when you are inundated with stress and overwhelming emotion. I work with clients wanting to move beyond emotional pain from their past. By doing this, we improve relationships, increase self-esteem, and build resilience.

Healing is about so much more than managing symptoms & learning coping skills. You deserve to move beyond the bandaid approach to find deeper, lasting healing by addressing the root causes and unresolved trauma at the source of your pain. My approach centers on the belief that each person possesses an innate healing wisdom, and that the therapeutic relationship is a powerful catalyst for change. By valuing genuine connection, meeting you where you're at, and using creative and innovative therapies, the process becomes a collaborative and transformational experience that helps you build a life filled with purpose and authenticity.

Are you tired of feeling unhappy with yourself or disappointed that your life is not going the way you had hoped? You may feel like you have done or are doing everything “right” but it is not bringing you the joy you had anticipated. Maybe you are wanting change or to feel more connected but don’t know how to make these things happen. Perhaps you are struggling with your relationships, a life change, or are exhausted from trying to make everyone happy and do things “perfectly”. You may feel like you don’t have anyone who understands or supports you or don’t have someone with whom you feel comfortable talking about certain issues.

Who am I? What is my purpose? What does the science say? Where is the evidence? These are some of my favorite questions I hear as a counselor. My name is Ron Saenz and I'm an LPC passionate about exploring the mind-body connection through DBT, mindfulness meditation, flow, yoga and martial arts. I use my love for psychology and behavioral science to teach clients about how the brain works, while helping them integrate research-proven wellness practices into their everyday lives. I believe that therapy should be both fun and fulfilling, and have made it my mission to share this passion with every client I meet.

In my work with adolescents, I am a safe place to unload their inner conflict.
Seeking therapy can often feel like a scary and foreign concept. My job is to provide a safe place for you, and your family to process life's complications and unload the burdens and losses that are too difficult to be faced with alone. In all of my work, self-esteem and identity formation are a key ingredient. I believe that the skills and strengths it takes to create a life where we are fulfilled and loved already exists within all of us, we just need a little help to harness them. I want to help you identify your skills and values, find self-compassion, and find the courage to try new behaviors and to reach new goals.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents as I have 5 years of experience working in social services in an educational setting.
I imagine that if you are here looking for a therapist, it's because something has happened in your life that has made you realize that you need additional support. Sometimes we have those wake up calls that remind us that we are in pain and are seeking to heal. It's challenging to know where to start as there can be an array of events/relationships/patterns that have led us here. If you are seeking therapy to heal so you can move forward, you are at the right place.
