Therapists in Davis, CA

Are you or your child/teen or marriage feeling strained or overwhelmed? I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals and families struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral and relationship issues, including family blending and coparenting. It is possible to achieve symptom relief, behavior change and to promote passion, meaning, and successful relationships. Areas I focus on include children/teens, trauma, special needs or illness, parenting, and divorce (supporting parents and/or children). I am passionate to help clients witness and live their preferred selves and relationships.

Does your son or daughter seem unhappy, worried or frightened? Do they frequently get into trouble at school? Has there been a shift in their behavior that concerns you? Do they have difficulty making or maintaining friendships? Do they act mean, have angry outbursts or act aggressively because they cannot control their actions? Are they restless or have difficulty concentrating? These are just some of the problems I assist children, adolescents and their families in overcoming. Call me and we can talk further. I also work with adults with anxiety, parenting challenges, or those who have struggled with trauma.

My practice focuses on helping people develop healthier relationships with themselves and others. I believe in building a safe, respectful and compassionate relationship with my clients where we can exchange direct, honest, and meaningful feedback. Within this trusting relationship, we can explore your challenges and strengths so that you have more healthy choices regarding your life goals. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, isolation, grief or relationship issues, or if you simply want to live more authentically and fully, there is hope. Key elements in the change process include curiosity and a desire to learn about yourself.

I view therapy as a precious investment of your values and vulnerabilities, so I aim to honor that investment with my commitment to your well-being. Through a nonjudgmental, authentic and compassionate stance, I strive to create a safe and collaborative space for you to explore sensitive issues, experiment with new behaviors, and work towards what matters to you. Whether you'd like to improve the quality of your relationship(s) or address mental health challenges, such as anxiety, including OCD, depression, loss, life transition, trauma and addiction, I will wholeheartedly support your efforts in fulfilling these goals.

My name is Hali Hanson, I am drawn to marriage and family therapy because I envision change occurring through meaningful interpersonal relationships – both by breaking cycles of generational trauma and finding new ways to connect and communicate. I also believe the most important relationship you can have is with yourself. Therapy can provide a mirror that allows you to view the values, beliefs, and experiences that have brought you to this point - reflecting on whether these ways of living are still serving your well-being.

I work with adult clients from 18 to 80 who have a range of concerns including life transitions, marital struggles, substance abuse, trauma and other issues impacting their lives. Our work together provides a new perspective on past issues that may have kept them from becoming their best selves and living their best lives.

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.

My life philosophy is simple. I approach life with dedication, integrity and a sense of humor. The latter always comes in handy. While a native Californian, I’ve been lucky enough to have lived in three different countries and have learned that no matter the land or language, people crave love and union. People are waiting to tell their story, be heard and accepted.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling & meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support/guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you

At this moment you feel lost, disconnected from your path/career, and unsure how to find self-fulfillment while experiencing intense expectations of others. You know you need help and don't know where to turn. Explaining how lost you feel to others will make you more vulnerable than you wish to feel. You feel alone and know that something has to change. The stress of school and/or work is insurmountable, and sharing these feelings with friends and family is impossible. Your stress causes intense pressure and anxiety which is affecting every aspect of your life.

Struggling with high stress, anxiety and depression can have a negative effect on how you think, feel and experience life. In these challenging times, you may find yourself isolated or not feeling as connected in relationships. The isolation makes the feelings of anxiety and depression worse and more difficult to cope with. In turn, having an effect on your resilience, sense of self and confidence. You’re not alone, and in a safe enough space you can begin to heal.

Do you feel sad, anxious, and lonely? Do you feel overwhelmed by life changes, situations, and relationships? Are you searching for purpose and joy in living in your daily life because your energy has been drained by difficult life experiences? These experiences can make you feel rootless or less anchored. I can help you through the therapeutic process to build a more joyful habit of mind by taking small consistent steps to free yourself from the heaviness and suffering you may be feeling. I have a broad understanding of the human experience, am deeply empathetic and authentic, and enjoy listening to my client's life stories.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice for close to 20 years. I am currently seeing individual adults and couples and assist in coping with stressors of work, social and interpersonal relationships.

I believe that you are intrinsically worthy of love and belonging but I know that often we are made to believe that being ourselves is not good enough. Self-love and acceptance can begin within this space; a place where all feel welcomed and relaxed, free from cultural and societal expectations. I'm glad you're here.

I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing roadblocks on their path to a more fulfilled life. Barriers to wellness are not limited to the mental realm and may include physical issues, sexual issues, relationship issues and spiritual issues. These issues interrelate and thus must all be addressed holistically. The symptom is not the cause and is often key in figuring out where the problem resides. I believe in the power of the to heal ourselves. I see my role as helping identify solutions and offering tools for personal growth and healing. I seek to empower my clients as they heal, grow, and develop resilience.

As our changing world becomes more complex, it's important to take stock of what matters in life. When emotional struggles result in destructive behaviors, anxiety, and depression, we loose sight of our best selves. Meanwhile, seeking out help for these issues can be awkward! Your comfort in this process is my priority. Our time together will be based on your goals, your concerns, and your unique personality.

Life can be difficult at times. Something I have learned over the years, through my own experiences, career paths, academics, and family/relationship struggles. We are all susceptible to the trials and tribulations of life. Whether caused by your actions, the actions of others, or some external forces. You may be experiencing a difficult period in your life. Wanting and needing support during this troubled time. I offer that support through an unbiased, open-minded, and non-judgemental partnership with you. I do mean partnership. We will be working together throughout the therapeutic process.

Is something in your life not quite working the way you would like? Are you feeling stuck? It can often be helpful to talk though some of the issues we are struggling with in a therapeutic relationship that feels understanding, safe, and compassionate. Human beings aren't meant to "go it alone". In fact, feeling alone is inherently traumatizing itself. I have been licensed for over 20 years, working with individuals, couples, and families to heal their relationships, and to overcome trauma, depression, and addictions.
