Existential Therapists in Rocklin, CA

Therapy, as I see it, is a unique relationship between therapist and client involving an emotional, psychological, and often spiritual journey. The therapist accompanies the client on this journey serving as mentor, guide, translator, coach, and confidant. I work to assist you in your journey towards wholeness, success, understanding, and relief from suffering. My approach to therapy is interactive, supportive, and compassionate. I endeavor to create a free and protected space so that you may safely explore whatever needs to be focused on while honoring your limits and boundaries.

I have worked with a wide variety of people over the years ranging from children, to teens, to adults. I have done groups, individual, couples, and family work, and I enjoy all of it! My clients come to see me with issues that range from everyday life obstacles and stress to serious anxiety, depression, and trauma. I believe everyone's struggles are valid and everyone's efforts to change their life for the better should be honored and supported. I have had the privilege of helping many wonderful people over the course of my career and I consider myself lucky to work in a field that allows me to help, heal, and support.

I am Dr. Michelle Linquist and I am excited about the possibility of working with you! I obtained my Doctoral Degree in clinical psychology at Pepperdine University, and I have been licensed since 2017. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at Jerry L. Pettis VA in Loma Linda, CA where I worked with veterans with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse problems. I accrued my post-doctoral training through California Parenting Institute in Santa Rosa and St. John's Program for Real Change in Sacramento. This training afforded me the opportunity to work with families and homeless women with a variety of mental health problems.

My treatment provides support and practical therapy to the individuals and couples I work with.

I work with you to help find resolutions to your current concerns and other psychological issues that may be affecting your life. I incorporate a mixture of Existential, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help you find clarity into the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be preventing you from experiencing a joyful, peaceful and meaningful life.

Hi, I am Karen and I enjoy therapeutic work with individuals and couples. Although I work with a number of mental health issues I especially enjoy working with depression, anxiety, grief, emotional trauma, self-loathing, self-esteem, shame and spirituality. As a therapist my goal is to help clients live to their true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While together we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to help you better understand and resolve the problems you currently face.

Everyone struggles periodically when going through difficult seasons in life; often they would benefit from some additional support and guidance to help them find relief and healing. I believe that my role in therapy is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment in which I may accompany my clients on their journey navigating life and its challenges, supporting and empowering them on a path toward healing, growth, and abundance. I view my clients as unique individuals who have a significant story to tell and tailor my therapeutic approach to their specific needs and personality.

If you are going through a difficult time or would simply like to take steps toward mental and spiritual wellness I look forward to partnering with you in your journey. My goal is to create a safe and caring emotional environment for you to explore thoughts and feelings that can often be too difficult to face alone.

Life is in constant flux. Whether you or a loved one are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, life adjustment issues, grief, unhealthy habits, or have a need to explore the deeper parts of yourself, selecting a counselor that fits you best is most important. Reaching out to an unknown professional you do not know can feel uncomfortable and overwhelming, especially when you or someone you love is hurting, but it is helpful to remember that counselors are human beings first just like you. Everyone, regardless of their challenges, can benefit from therapy.

Many individuals do not come to therapy because they think it will make them look “crazy” or like they have “issues”. I want to work with you to change that mindset! Truth is, we have all gone through something, but it’s much more comforting when we do not have to go through it alone. Whether it’s anxiety, stress, depression, grief, or relationship issues, there is always a way for us to overcome. Together, we can work on leading you to the path of healing, growth, and resiliency. Utilizing a mix of humanistic and cognitive-behavioral approaches, we will work together as you walk through your journey.

I am dedicated toward fostering a safe and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment, where I will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that supports living a life congruent with your values, and what you find meaningful. Sessions are focused around helping you become more in tune with your present self, identifying behavioral and thought patterns which are working against how you ideally want to live and be in the world.

Hi, my name is Vicky Venter, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist working in California. I work in a way that is client centered and eclectic depending on your needs. I have a strong inclination toward relational work because I understand we are hurt in relationships, and we HEAL in relationship. I am certified in Imago Couples Therapy as well as EFT and am currently training in Bioenergetics Analysis, a Somatic Psychotherapy. I work using an integrated approach. What that means is taking what you experience in the world and understanding exactly how it impacts you, then helping you decide what to do with that experience.

I love collaborating with my clients in creating and sustaining the changes they wish to make and surprising them with how quickly and deeply these changes can take place. I have extensive experience with chronic illness, chronic pain, physical and emotional trauma, spirituality, parenting issues, grief and dying, and men's sexuality.
