Therapists in Davis, CA

Welcome! Do you feel anxious, confused, stressed, or overwhelmed? Does your child act in ways that you don't understand? Let's work together and find the path of healing and positive coping that is unique to each of us. I see kids 4+ and adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression. I offer an environment where my clients feel comfortable, safe, and accepted, needs we all share that when met, enable us to be our best. Together, we can find a path to improved coping and empowerment.

My work is active, compassionate, & collaborative. I enjoy working with clients who want to have a deeper understanding to be able to make positive changes. I work with couples & individuals to create a relationship that feels safe. I help my clients gain a deeper understanding, that reveals alternative choices & a path to building more connected & meaningful relationships. I also help my clients build on their strengths as I work with them supportively to attain their relationship & personal growth goals. I primarily work from an attachment theoretical orientation and integrate complimentary interventions to offer a tailored approach to my clients needs.

Therapy is a collaborative process that can help you live a full and authentic life. While some people think of treatment as a way to address acute and uncomfortable symptoms, it can also be a tool for personal development. Most humans engage in repetitive and self-defeating behaviors that interfere with emotional freedom and growth. My goal as your collaborator and guide is to help you identify those cycles and explore new ways of being in the world to achieve a joyful and fulfilling life.

Are you tired of trying to figure out how to deal with your feelings on your own? Not sure who to listen to? Thank you for visiting my site. I work with adults (18+) who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, university challenges, both academic and social, and other difficult life events/transitions. My goal is to establish a positive and trusting connection with my clients while providing a supportive environment for the work we do together. I work collaboratively with my clients to find new ways of coping and managing difficult challenges that will ultimately lead to a more meaningful and productive life.

Do you seek to better understand yourself, ease suffering, grow to your full potential, both individually and in relationships, and be more present in your life? Then you're in the right place. Many of the things with which we struggle, such as anxiety and depression, are ultimately tied to difficulties in how we relate to ourselves, and perhaps even more so, to others. Because of this, I see our relationship in therapy as the most important factor in helping you achieve your goals. When we feel supported, understood, and compassionately challenged, growth occurs over time at the level of the brain, promoting long-term change.

As a fat, queer, neurodivergent disruptor of societal norms and systems, I hold a strength-based attachment focused framework that values and celebrates all genders, sexualities, bodies, ethnicities, cultures, abilities, family structures, religions, and socio-economic locations. I see these intersectionalities as a beautiful tapestry of personal empowerments which can become the foundation from which we work collectively to identify, address and dismantle systems of oppression. I believe humans shouldn’t be pathologized in a society designed to keep people sick and stuck.

My name is Veronica, License Clinical Social Worker. I am bilingual in Spanish and English. I have experience with diverse populations of all ages and in different professional settings. My area of focus is working with those who endure adversity, life transitions, depression, and anxiety.

People want to be understood. Everyone wants to feel good yet each day our moods change as life’s circumstances intrude. Many times, the trauma we have experienced or our negative self-talk work to prevent us from good decisions. You may be considering counseling because you want to change something about yourself. For most people this kind of change can be hard work. To change yourself, it is helpful to understand how your thoughts, emotions and actions all interact to make up who you are. Real, lasting change is the result of a bunch of small changes that require a shift in thoughts and beliefs.

Are you suffering from anxiety, depression or the aftermath of trauma? Do you struggle with painful patterns in your life that persist despite your best efforts toward change? Are you nervous to try therapy because of the expense and exposure? Have strong effort and promising insights in previous therapy failed to bring you relief? Are you struggling with a difficult child or teenager and feeling like your good intentions and best efforts are not reaching them? Traditional, insight-oriented therapy may help with such challenges--but if not, behavioral therapy may help, regardless of success with mental insight and understanding.

I welcome the opportunity to work with young adults to older adults to help to develop a preferred self. I know that developing an identity as a young adult can be challenging. Professionals may find it exhausting to have a work-life balance, or may be seeking meaning in their lives. I appreciate and value the intersections of our identities and how we navigate our lives. I work in a relational way holding clients in positive regard, attuning to you, and helping to identify internal and external resources to apply.

As humans we possess the incredible capacity to collaborate with, depend upon, and connect with others. These innate skills enhance our ability to cope under harsh life circumstances. Asking for help is the first step to enhancing your own abilities and skills of connection, healing, growth, self-awareness and so much more. If you are ready to take this step and team up with another to improve your life, send me an email or give me a call!

I help people turn toward more emotionally satisfying lives by providing a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate atmosphere that facilitates growth. Do you feel as though you are merely surviving rather than fully living? We often live and act out scripts that are no longer satisfying or, even worse, inhibiting and destructive. I can guide you through a process of self discovery that deepens your capacity to face current challenges and enrich relationships. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity shifts, addiction, or family crisis, I believe the therapeutic process provides a rich landscape in which to heal.

My work aims to provide compassionate support to people facing emotional distress by providing effective coping mechanisms. In my experience, I have worked with individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma processing, self-harm, and various phases of their life. An important part of my practice is advocating for mental health issues, and I strongly believe that every individual's well-being is paramount.

My passion and focus are working with adolescents, children, and families experiencing distress in their relationships. I approach my work with clients from a place of genuine curiosity and understanding. I aim to provide a safe space where we can discuss the challenges getting in the way of achieving your goals and create a sustainable support system for lasting change in your life. I pride myself on being transparent during the process and an active participant in every session.

Sometimes sharing your life experiences with another person can feel like a daunting task. Having the vulnerability to express one’s needs takes a tremendous amount of courage. As a dedicated and empathic MFT trainee working under the clinical supervision of Carmen Isais, LMFT 115123, I am committed to helping individuals find their own path to mental and emotional well-being. With years of experience in the mental health field, I have developed a deep understanding of the complexities of the human mind and the unique struggles each person faces.

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.

What goes on in your mind, plays out in your body, and becomes your reality in your world. Whether you are entering therapy for the first time or you are looking to refine changes in your life, you are starting on a journey of self discovery which is deeply personal and courageous. Each person arrives with their own unique life story, strengths, barriers and goals. Therapy is a collaborative process. I believe my role is to create a non-judgmental, warm, respectful, and safe environment.
