Female Therapists in Grass Valley, CA

I have a special heart to help people. I offer kind and compassionate therapy to help individuals, couples, families, teens, and children smooth out and overcome the bumps in life's path. I encourage, empower, and educate clients on using effective tools to help them on their journey through life. I am an experienced clinician and have been supporting individuals and families since 2002. I will help you gain tools to lead to positive change and a healthy, happy life. Call me to get help with anxiety, depression, communication, stages of life, trauma, self-esteem, stress, co-parenting and problem-solving.

My goal is to help others process through this journey of life in a supportive and healthy way. Much of my career has been working with children and families addressing generational substance abuse, poverty, and domestic violence. I also have over 9 years of experience working in the hospice field and working through end of life events.

My intention is to gently guide you towards your own innate wisdom and fully support you as your transformation unfolds. I prefer to take a direct, experiential approach, meeting each client where they are at and honoring their individual needs. I specialize in body-based (somatic) inquiry to address a variety of issues, with a specific interest in treating trauma, relationship issues, and addiction. My therapeutic approach is uniquely inspired from my own personal experience with healing, drawing from both ancient Eastern philosophy and modern research-based theories of attachment and developmental trauma.

Do you feel like you are disconnected from your partner or do you fight all the time? I know what these struggles feel like, and I know how painful it is to face those problems alone. Creating stronger and healthier relationships and sex lives is my primary focus. I have extensive training in helping couples and I get down to business in the very first session. I offer individual therapy, couples therapy, two day in person intensives for more complex issues, and Discernment Counseling.

We all get "stuck" sometimes ~ whether through an unexpected event, an expectation that wasn't met, or the inability to move forward in life. It could affect one aspect of your life, or many, and manifest as procrastination, overwhelm, the inability to make a decision, moodiness, etc. However it shows up, it's costly in time, energy, and relationships.

I offer holistic, heart-centered therapy and focus on the mind-body connection. I will support you as you navigate life’s struggles, deepen your inner resources, and develop tools to embrace a rich and meaningful life. I bring attunement, warmth, and curiosity to my work, and I believe that we are all capable of growth. It is an honor to hear your story and bear witness to your experience.

I offer a light in discovering your authentic self. The innate expert in your own life who may be in the darkness now, but has the courage to find the gem within. I too have walked some difficult paths. These hard knocks have only made me gentler, kinder, wiser. Exploring the foundations of holistic health and the artistic realms of the imagination provides vast potential for humankind. In my work of assisting the rehabilitation of Birds of Prey, I also learned that to truly live takes more than the mechanics of a recovered body, but also requires that one wants to thrive. A spirit empowered to fully live.

Tired of tying yourself into knots just to get others to like you? Do you ever feel trapped in a relentless emotional storm of self-doubt, and anxiety, where every disagreement threatens your relationship and overwhelms you? The constant fear of abandonment, the need for constant reassurance – these burdens weigh heavily on your heart. It's like walking an emotional tightrope, longing for love and connection. These patterns, etched into our souls from an early age can lead to unending emotional turmoil and strained relationships. But I understand your deep yearning for love and connection.

Do you often feel isolated or overwhelmed? Do you constantly feel hurried? Our lives can present us with situations that cause us to question everything we thought we knew.

Hi there, I'm Ngoc, a licensed marriage and family therapist. I am experienced in treating anxiety disorders, life transitions, relationship/marital issues, traumatic experiences, and the grief and loss process. I love utilizing my bilingual/ bicultural background and my Christian belief system while relying on my relational-intuitive-integrative approach to work on issues that are unique to individuals' lives. I work to understand individuals through the lens of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Theory, Psychodynamic, and Family Systems, and help them tell their stories in a God-centered way (Narrative Therapy).

Caring, compassionate counseling to help clients move forward through challenges and make positive life changes. I work with individuals and couples to address relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and new pathways for personal growth. While working with individuals, clients set the goals that they wish to address. My role is to listen, encourage, and guide clients in a process of self-discovery and self-mastery. Sometimes clients are trying to heal from past trauma and move forward. Sessions offer support for healing and learning new healthy ways to live.

You often ask yourself, "What's wrong with me? Why can't I function like anyone else?" You've internalized failure, powerlessness and shame, feeling trapped and stuck with no way out. But where did it all begin? I doubt "something is truly wrong with you." In fact, I believe you're just noticing that things have not been sustainable and you long for a change and an opportunity at life— that's a sign of your sanity!

I offer confidential psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, and children in a compassionate, safe and nonjudgmental environment. My approach to therapy is client-centered, collaborative, and strength-based. It is my belief that we are all unique and one approach does not fit all. I enjoy helping my clients in a broad range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, co-dependency, relationship concerns, parenting, and adoption/foster-care issues. I consider it a privilege to come alongside and support individuals and families as they navigate life's many challenges and joys.
