As the Director of CAMERON PARK COUNSELING CENTER, I have assembled a wonderful team of knowledgeable, talented and passionate therapists who specialize in the wide array of psychotherapeutic approaches and areas of specialization. When you call our office, you will be paired up with the therapist best suited to your issue.

Having battled my own fight with anxiety, depression, and trauma, I understand how hard the day to day can be for you. Trying to get those thoughts from racing repeatedly over and over in your mind can be taxing. Trying to find the motivation to get the next thing done can be exhausting, and that 2nd or 3rd cup of coffee doesn't seem to be helping. The pain and frustration of not knowing what to do to make your life a little less stressful and a lot more manageable may be taking everything out of you, and draining what little energy you have left. I can help you, because I've been you. There is hope.

Ever wonder why life changes just when you thought is just about "normal" or approaching "great"? Have you or a loved one been confused and discouraged for too long? Puzzled and dissatisfied about a relationship: spouse, parent, child, sibling, significant other or friend? Want things to change? All these questions and more can be addressed in therapy. Crisis and challenges are "opportunities for growth" and God is more creative than you can imagine in moving you toward being the person you were meant to be . Together, there is much we can discover.

If you are anxious, depressed or just not satisfied with the direction of your life, a positive hallmark of my practice is the emphasis on empowering individuals to find joy in living. Strong spiritual and compassionate perspectives are the foundation of my approach to therapy. I provide counseling services for individuals, couples/partners, and families with a focus on addiction, grief, relationships, and women's issues. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am dedicated to providing a safe and confidential environment where my clients will have opportunities to improve their communication skills and develop healthy coping strategies.

In my 45+ years working with kids, adults and families as an El Dorado County teacher, school counselor, diversity trainer, and therapist, I have been privileged to partner with individuals struggling through life's curves and personal challenges. Together, we have fostered growth and healing in the areas of loss, depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, identity challenges, parenting/grandparenting, and family trauma. I have expertise in, and a deep understanding of diversity and issues related to bullying.

If you have experienced trauma, anxiety, or abuse, I would like to help you through. As we know, life is about many things, the ups, the downs and the in betweens. Life can be wonderful and sometimes, life can be filled with challenges. There are those moments in our lives when we need support . I work with peope who wish to learn how to face difficulties and to learn lasting coping skills. My goal is to help you to obtain your goals, face difficult times, and live your life to the fullest.

Do you ever wish someone truly understood what you're going through? Relationships are hard. Life is hard. Being alone in it is even harder. Sometimes we all need help figuring things out or how to move forward. What is influencing your present? Our past is not suppose to dictate our present, but sometimes it does. Our life was not meant to be filled with sadness, fear, or regrets. Good communication, fulfilling relationships, and a sense of wholeness are all possible. What about loss? Sometimes we can't get back what we want, but if we get stuck in grief we end losing more. With help, relationships and situations can get better.

I believe that the path to recovery is made by walking - one step at a time. Inner healing can replace pain and suffering with joy and connection. I know because I have walked the path. I offer individual therapy and family therapy for the following: Anxiety and depression, grief and trauma, relationship issues, difficult life transitions, divorce and trauma recovery, parent/caregiver coaching and training, Grandparents raising grandchildren and other kinship families.

My main focus is on relationships, your relationship with yourself, and with others. I believe the key to having healthier children and families is to strengthen and improve the above mentioned relationships, and to build a strong relationship bond between parent(s) and their child(ren). My style is energetic, straightforward and honest with a touch of humor. I have many years experience working in the group setting with men or women around their anger awareness/management and relationship issues.

Tele-medicine in the privacy of your home or office. Anxious? Stressed? Are you a highly sensitive person (HSP)? If so, you may be interested to know that this is not a disorder. Do you have a rich and complex inner life? When you were a child, did your parents or others see you as sensitive or too shy? How can someone be too sensitive? If you do not consider yourself sensitive, perhaps you are in a relationship where sensitivity would enhance your intimacy and partnership. I help individuals and couples struggling with relationships. Do you want to live an authentic life?

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who cares deeply about my clients and their healing. My goal is to help you identify and heal from trauma, past and present that prevents you from living your best life. In addition to cognitive and solution focused therapy, I am trained in somatic modalities such as EMDR, Brainspotting, Hypnotherapy and LENS Neurofeedback. Because I believe everyone is uniquely designed, I use an integrated approach to therapy and work closely with you to create a customized treatment plan.

Are you struggling in some area of your life? Are there relationships that you would like to improve? Do you have concerns about your child? I believe that the quality of our lives is determined by the quality of our relationships, so don't wait for more time to pass before asking for help. We all experience relationship struggles at one time or another. Maybe your relationship with your spouse, child or a co-worker is causing stress. Sometime you may just need a little adjustment to improve those relationships and get them where you'd hoped they'd be.

I can offer you both short-term therapy or longer term therapy to address marital, couples, family, or individual concerns. Together with assessment of your presenting problem we can decide what is best. Resolution and change is possible. I have experience working with adults with adult children issues and with couples in getting beyond repeating communication patterns that are stressful.

I'm Michaela Johnson, a seasoned Clinical Sex Therapist and Collaborative Attachment Based Therapist. For over a decade, I've been navigating the intricate realms of human intimacy, drawing inspiration from the vast expanse of the skies to guide my clients through their emotional journeys. Just as a skilled pilot maneuvers through turbulent weather, I assist my clients in charting a course through the challenges of relationships, helping them soar to new heights of emotional well-being. My expertise lies in unraveling the complexities of human intimacy, addressing primal wounds that often hinder personal growth and connection.

From a Holistic prospective, I consider the mental, physical, and spiritual factors that influence a person's well-being and to help people heal and thrive on a deeper level. As a Licensed Psychotherapist, Certified Life Coach and a Certified Yoga Teacher, my approach is designed to create a sense of self-awareness to better understand the connections between body, mind, and relationships leading to how these elements interplay with mental health. Combining Psychotherapy with Life Coaching Techniques will manifest your dreams as well as clear what is hindering your realization of the life you desire .

Are you living a life of quiet desperation? Are self-limiting patterns and behaviors interfering with your spiritual and emotional well-being? Oftentimes life's challenges can leave us feeling trapped with no where to turn. Sometimes all you need is some direction. You don't have to do it alone. I will work with you to create a safe, supportive environment, encouraging change without force, while honoring your inherent wisdom. My approach is compassionate, intuitive, gentle, respectful, experiential & collaborative. I'll encourage you to listen to your body & soul as well as your mind for answers that are right for you.

Finding you here, means you are looking for answers, for purpose, for reasons, for meaning. You feel sadness, you feel rage, you feel fear, AND sometimes you feel NOTHING, you feel emptiness, numbness, you feel a deep void. You're disconnected from everything that brings you life, the things that bring you joy, the people you love, but most of all you are disconnected from your SELF. Whether you are in the throes of anxiety or depression, moving through a traumatic experience, working to repair your relationships or coping with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), you are brave for reaching out and we are here to help.

I focus on working with adults, couples, and families, but my specialty is in working with couples. My approach to couples therapy is to work with my clients to identify the core issues that prevent them from having fulfilling, connected relationships rather than giving them short-term solutions. Identifying the underlying issues in the relationship that go beyond the "symptoms" expressed through fighting or distance is critical in effective couple's work. I believe that a therapist should be a good fit for a client, and when working with couples that both of you feel like I'm the right therapist.
