Therapists in Nevada County, CA

Now part of Kindred Heart Therapy Group. Many people know where they would like to be, but are unsure of how to get there. You may find yourself worrying about different parts of your life and looking for help. Together, we can process different aspects of your life and work toward reaching your goals. Meeting with a therapist can be an intimidating experience, but I hope you can take the time to give yourself an opportunity to see how I can help.

Life can be difficult, but it does not mean that we must suffer due to our circumstances. No matter what life presents us with, we all have the capacity to meet the conditions of this present moment. Whether you have been feeling stuck for a while or are meeting a sudden change in life, engaging therapy can offer support. There is always the possibility for relief here and now - let's join together in this process of discovery.

I have been working in the field of healing arts for two decades. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have experience working with individuals, couples, teens, and adolescents. My work is grounded in the knowing that with the safety and security of the therapeutic container, one finds the willingness to feel what is authentically present, which naturally brings healing and ease of living.

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.

I have a quiet approach to helping clients deal with loss, anxiety, and weathering transitions. I have been a licensed MFT for 35 years. In addition to treating those in locked psychiatric hospitals, I was the clinical director for two different residential treatment programs for over 25 years and have supervised over 100 interns.

Unfortunately, I'm not accepting new patients at the current time. I've been a psychologist in clinical practice since 1980. I've had advanced training in psychodynamic approaches that combine an emphasis on insight with the beneficial effects of careful listening, empathy, and offering practical advice about changing behaviors that get in the way of patients reaching their potential. I think that most people suffer from painful problems in work and in love and my approach is designed to alleviate this suffering.

I believe that there are seasons and cycles of life. If you find yourself in a season where you need some extra support, then I am here for you. I work with adults of all ages who may be struggling with anxiety, depression or relationship challenges. I offer a safe and non-judgmental environment, where you can practice new skills for staying grounded amidst the ups and downs of being human. Throughout the course of therapy, you'll learn practical tools for enriching your daily life and accessing deeper states of emotional well-being.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life and that having someone provide another perspective, without judgment, can make a big difference!

Are you facing challenges related to ADHD, autism, depression, and/or anxiety? Curious about neurodiversity diagnosis?

I invite you to embark on a collaborative journey, leveraging evidence-based approaches to navigate challenges, uncover strengths, and cultivate resilience for lasting positive change. Your path to well-being begins with understanding and empowerment; reach out to start this transformative process today.

Looking for a therapist can be daunting, especially if you are seeking support for the first time. You may feel pressure to know “what kind” of therapy will be best for you or feel anxiety about what actually happens inside a therapy session. I give the same advice to every friend and client who asks: choose your therapist based largely on the connection you feel when you meet them. Do you feel listened to? Do they speak to you in a way that helps you to understand yourself better?

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.

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.

Therapy is a conscious and brave decision. Daily stressors can have the effect of snowballing into something more overtime, a life change can hit out of nowhere, and past experiences seem to seep into the present day when you least expect an arrival. So, the reason(s) for therapy is subjective to you: It could be to improve the relationship you have with yourself and/or others, changing behavioral patterns or habits, seeking alternative perspectives, or to just be heard and seen.

Are you there for me? Do I matter to you? Will you come to me when I call? These are the hidden cries of vulnerability that underlie the distress experienced in most adult love relationships. They often come however, in the form of an angry protest such as, "Why didn't you complete the list on the refrigerator?" Or, as in a withdrawn defeat, "I give up, since I can never please her." I can help you understand and access your underlying attachment needs and fears and begin to communicate more authentically to your parnter thus increasing safe emotional connection,

My name is Crystal Clune and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in working with children and adolescents and teens. I have worked with school-age children since 2009. My approach to therapy is very client-centered and strength-based. I believe that the client is the expert of themselves and sometimes they just need guidance in re-finding their true selves. I work with all school-age children (ages 5-19) that are struggling with depression, anxiety, family issues, school issues, behavioral issues at home and at school, self-esteem, and trauma.

My approach to psychotherapy is trauma-informed, existential, experiential, and integrative, and I strive to build a healing relationship with clients based on trust, communication, support, and occasional challenge. I specialize in depth psychotherapy. I work well with individuals who are motivated, introspective and curious. I strive to assist clients in developing further insight into their own emotional states and thoughts and taking committed action in their lives to improve well-being and fulfillment. I consider psychotherapy my craft and was trained in a small doctoral program at Penn State focused on interpersonal process.
