Teletherapy for Nevada County, CA

What relationships in your life would you like to be better? The quality of our relationship with others begins with our relationship with ourselves. I can guide you to achieve a deeper, more connected relationship to your higher self: the sole source of true inner peace, healing, self-awareness and transformation. We use a spiritual perspective of your comfort and understanding. Toxic shame, closely related to trauma and rooted in our past, is also a huge factor in keeping us from living the life we are meant to live. As a certified Healing Shame practitioner, I am skilled in helping you understand and transform toxic shame.

I am able to treat a multitude of complex issues, yet I have extended knowledge and training in the following areas: *Couples therapy- I am Level 1 certified in Gottman Couples Therapy. *Teens that are dealing with academic & social pressures, substance abuse, binge drinking, anxiety/depression *Women and men diagnosed with chronic autoimmune illnesses *Postpartum Depression- I work with women & couples, during this very emotional and fragile time where support is needed. PPD can manifest suddenly within the first year of having your new baby, and can be very frightening for the new mother & family.

Welcome, I’m Annabelle! I’m a strength-based therapist who aims to offer a safe and nurturing environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I hope to create an atmosphere that is full of trust, empathy, and unconditional positive regard that will allow you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. I do not take the expert role and instead invite you to walk alongside me. I will remain curious and open as we begin to explore your innermost thoughts and emotions to strengthen your sense of self.

Finding a therapist can be a challenge on its own, let alone finding one with whom you feel comfortable enough to share the intimate details of your life. It takes courage to ask for help and embark on a path of personal growth. If you’re reading this you’ve passed a threshold and are ready to put in the work of examining the parts of yourself, and your life, that you’d like to change. The next step is to find out if the therapist you’ve chosen is the right fit.

I am in awe of the power of the human spirit. I am inspired by the courage and strength it takes for a person to come to a place where they feel they no longer can be alone in a personal crisis and they reach out for support. It is in these very moments where grace is in motion and the potential for transformation is most fertile. I am passionate about working with others and feel honored in being part of someone's journey of self-discovery as they uncover the root and causes of their lack of connection with others, depression, anxiety, and grief.

Our work together may include coaching, education, homework, meditative practices or breath work, movement, art therapy, and frank communication. I will meet you with compassion, empathy, warmth, and commitment. At times I will challenge your perceptions and assumptions, and offer different perspectives, as a way to increase the many wonderful benefits of therapy. Therapy is a valuable tool in making positive changes, and I am excited to be on this journey with you!

I work with clients who are (highly) sensitive, empathic, or intuitive. Sensitive people have a finely attuned nervous system that is a huge gift when made conscious. They experience life deeply, yet don't always feel easily understood by others. Growing up, they often experienced not fitting in, and have adapted to a largely non-sensitive world in myriad ways that didn't always serve their best interest. I support sensitive people on their path to finding their voice, experiencing genuine relationships, purposeful work, and reclaiming their space in the world.

I am currently accepting adult clients for Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in Grass Valley, CA and Portland, OR. My regular therapy practice is only open for Telehealth. I work with individuals experiencing PTSD, grief, end-of life transition, eco-anxiety, treatment resistant depression, relational challenges, and integrating non-ordinary states of consciousness. I am passionate about helping clients gain insight through self-inquiry, heal attachment through authentic connection, release trauma through embodied awareness, and experience breakthrough by dismantling patterns that no longer serve them.

Hello! I’ve been working with children, teens and adults in a therapeutic context, for over 15 years. I offer emotional, psychological and spiritual support through eco-therapy practices, somatic and transpersonal techniques. I have additional training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy, & Plant Spirit Healing. I'm interested in guiding one through a transformative experience while cultivating their present moment awareness in order to emerge and align with one's Higher Self and life purpose.

It is my desire to help you live your life to the fullest and healthiest potential. There is hope for positive change and you do not have to be stuck in unhealthy patterns or state of mind. Whether your seeking help with anxiety, depression, self-harm, anger, relationship improvement, life transitions, or various other difficulties, it is my desire to provide an empathetic ear and to treat you with dignity. I consider it an honor to be a part of your mental wellness journey as you find your inner strength to work through whatever symptoms or problems you may be facing.

Who am I, and what truly makes me happy? Is this a question you’ve been asking yourself or a question you don’t have the answer to. I specialize in working with women in transition; transitions into or out of caretaking children, in and out of work positions and retirement, or changes in relationships. As women we are brilliant at becoming who we need to be to manage situations. We are shapeshifter and can go from nursing a baby, to CEO within the same hour. The women I work with have lost a sense of self, they’ve disconnected from their internal compass.

Lonely. Invisible. Unseen. These just begin to describe how you feel about yourself lately. You're always tired, withdrawn, and trying to tolerate the pain. In the worst moments, your thoughts run dark about yourself and others. Life is dull at best, but intolerable when all this flares up. You suspect that others know something is off, but no one is stepping up to help. You've prayed, but it seems God isn't really listening. Half the time you worry, the other half of the time, you just don't care anymore. If snapping out of it was an option, you would have done it a long time ago.

Hello! I am a trauma-informed therapist, certified Brainspotter, and I am trained in Ketamine-assisted therapy for individuals and couples. The qualities of a healthy therapeutic relationship include mutual trust, mutual respect, shared decision making and goal setting. As a therapist, I work with my clients to maintain a relationship that is caring, safe, positive and professional. I seek to meet my clients exactly where they are and to create an environment where clients feel seen, heard, and held with compassion and empathy.

I believe therapy is a collaborative and creative endeavor, and provide a safe, supportive environment for you to explore your identity, relationships, history, and desired changes. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you create lasting changes, and am also influenced by Mindfulness, Narrative, Relational, and Systemic approaches to therapy. I am certified in the Triple P Positive Parenting Program and trained in Trauma-Focused CBT. I am also supportive and affirmative of clients of all sexual orientations and gender identifications, and can assist with issues such as coming out, homophobia, and LGBT relationship or parenting issues.

Currently Not Accepting New Clients - I work with clients who are motivated, responsible, diligent and seeking a deeper transformational experience of themselves. My clients are seekers of personal truth and existential wisdom that not only fosters personal growth but deepens their connection to those they love and to a grounded sense of presence in their lives. My clients are looking to re-establish a unified experience of the heart, mind and spirit to heal and soften the issues they are currently facing in their lives.

Hello, you are here because something in your life does not feel right, there is something in the way, blocking you from living the life you want. Let's work together to help you feel connected and whole. You are someone looking to improve your relationships and heal from the past. Through a supportive connection in therapy you will tune into your inner experience, leading to lasting growth and change. I believe the therapeutic relationship is valuable and an integral part of successful therapy. My areas of interest are relationships, life transitions, anxiety, grief & loss, trauma, prenatal/postpartum support & personal growth.

I have a straight forward, strength-based, humanistic approach to working with my clients. I believe you have inherent strengths and transformational healing abilities no matter how much pain or suffering you may experience. My goal is to support you to discover and harness these abilities to access healing, freedom from suffering, and a deeper inner knowing.

I have been active in mental health care for over 40 years, currently specializing in PTSD and other trauma issues. I developed a treatment protocol, called Personalized Embodied Rhythm Coupling (PERC), which is designed to meet your individual needs. “Embodied” means that treatment will help you feel “at home” and “safe” in your body, being in your body in the moment to feel all its emotional, sensory, and physical sensations. You will be connected to, and accept, all parts of your body. You will be able to self-soothe when feeling anxious or fearful.

Major life changes, previous trauma, and day-to-day life stressors can affect one’s overall wellness. My goal and great passion is bringing healing and assistance to individuals who have experienced difficult/traumatic events and ongoing changes in life. Recreating stability can assist my clients, who include children, adults, and families, to find healthy perceptions of themselves through identifying and creating self-safety and strengthening their relationships to create a healthy and whole individual.
