Family Systems Therapists in Sacramento, CA

Therapy is an important step in a person's life, one that takes courage, awareness and careful thought. As a practicing psychotherapist for the last 15 years, I find it a privilege and honor to work with clients as they grow and learn about themselves and their lives. I believe it can be a wonderful opportunity to explore and move towards what is meaningful to you in your life. I also believe firmly that the therapist-client relationship is an important aspect in allowing for effective change and I strive to provide a warm, supportive and trusting environment throughout the process.

I provide therapy in Midtown Sacramento, currently all therapy is through video/telehealth. My approach to therapy is interactive, playful, and compassionate. I believe that therapy can open us to feel more connected to ourselves and our relationships and lead more intentional lives. I respect the vulnerability of each of in reaching out for therapy and look forward to empowering you.

After splitting time between a non-profit community center and private practice for a number of years, I am now solely focused on private practice. I am excited about the opportunity to continue my work with individuals, couples, families and children. I approach my work with respect, cultural awareness and a strong belief in self-empowerment. Our time together will be supportive, collaborative, focused and goal driven. Although I am continually learning and searching for what works, Reality Therapy/Choice Theory is my primary theoretical approach. I also regularly use Feedback Informed Treatment measures.

My name is Tracy Cappel-Rice, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I have been providing therapy for over 20 years. My approach tends to be client centered. I work collaboratively with you to gain a thorough understanding of your needs and goals in therapy. I work with a variety of clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, and stress from life's transitions. My therapeutic approach is eclectic including family systems theory, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness, while utilizing creative therapies for development, growth, and change.

My approach to therapy is based on integrating theories from a family systems perspective, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, & Attachment Theory. While I enjoy working with all client populations my specialties are LGBTQ issues, relationship issues, chronic illness and pain, terminal illness, grief and loss. I see each client as uniquely special, and deserving of life's best. My goal is to help each client discover who they are meant to be regardless of their experience. I especially like coaching individuals in the corporate setting, helping them to achieve their personal best in the office and at home.

Collaboration is always in order when addressing individual differences and needs, since no two people are the same. My approach is to work close with patients utilizing empirically vallidated techniques conveyed in a user friendly manner. Identifying core conflicts, enhancing patient understanding and education,and treating underlying causes, not symptoms, is essential if relief from the distress is to be achieved.

I enjoy working with a diverse population surrounding attachment, life transitions, stressful life events/trauma, and close relationships. I am passionate about working with young adults, couples, pre-marital counseling, and LGBTQIA+ populations. Each and every one of my clients is a unique person coming in with unique experiences and challenges, meaning they require a unique approach that best fits their goals. The therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist is one of the most important factors to client success. This is why I value building trust and confidence with my clients in the beginning of therapy.

I work with a variety of clients including women, perinatal women, parents, families, adolescence/teens, college students, working professionals, and LGBTQ communities.

Are you feeling stuck in repetitive cycles that you just can't seem to break free from? Are you feeling bad about yourself? More anxious or depressed than usual? Is it starting to affect your family, friends or your partner? I know it can be frustrating but there is hope. I will help you examine old patterns of thinking and behaving that are holding you back. I will help you find new strategies, learn and practice new skills, explore new ways of thinking, and release unexpressed emotions, so that you can begin to experience real change, more joy, greater confidence and more satisfying relationships.

I approach psychotherapy from a whole-person perspective and I believe therapy, along with other practices, can help us awaken to a life of meaning. In therapy I will help you identify the source of your longing to be whole, and together, we will move closer to that source, so you become re-sourced. Together we will explore your innate natural cycles and help you align to your own rhythm, so that you might meet depletion with rest and energy with creativity.

As a clinical psychologist, my fundamental principle from the start is how can we do our best work as a team to help you finish your journey and go on unencumbered from what brought you to my office in the first place.

Glad you're here. You may not be in the best mood, relationship, or situation, and you might be trying to help a loved one find a therapist; whatever it is - you are in the right place. My theoretical approach is always client-centered with an ecclectic treatment approach pulling from Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt, and Brainspotting therapies. I love helping people willing to explore hard things - who've had trauma - who are ready for different and want to make the most of it - who understand the importance of being true to yourself while honoring life choices for others - with strength.

I specialize in guiding people towards healing from trauma and finding health and well-being in their lives and relationships. I realize that my clients often seek therapy to heal from some of their deepest wounds. Sometimes they carry shame, fear, and anxiety or depression due to these experiences. I'll welcome you with an open, warm, and deeply present therapeutic experience. Therapy is designed to provide an emotionally safe and supportive space where we do very sensitive work.
