Family Systems Therapists in Sacramento, CA

I offer teletherapy to clients in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Colorado. I offer in-office visits in Sacramento. Sometimes we expect far too much from ourselves. Each client is invited into a space where there is no expectation and where they are free to be themselves, without fear of judgement or misunderstanding. Adults can sometimes struggle to find space to hold compassion for themselves. Any style relationship can also use a nonjudgmental time and space to feel heard, while building tools for communication.

I believe we humans are dynamic, intra and interconnected beings. When disregulation happens it affects our entire being - mind, body and spirit. Trauma, grief, anxiety, depression - are not singular in their effects but permeate to our thinking, our physical health and our emotions and spirit. I look to work with my clients to incorporate an approach that addresses each component for a more complete healing process.

**ONLY ACCEPTING FIRST RESPONDER CLIENTS** You must be tired of feeling anxious and/or depressed. You are ready to make changes to have the life you deserve. You are ready to find your voice by learning techniques and tools to feel safe. You are ready to put in the work to help release the anxiety, depression, and heaviness of life. YOU ARE READY TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF!

When was the last time you felt deep pleasure, connection or acceptance within yourself or a relationship? Therapy works when you find someone who gets you. As one of only 10 AASECT certified sex therapists in Oregon, I'm training a team to provide inclusive sex positive treatment for individuals, couples, groups and LGBTQIPA+ folks. We focus on the treatment of trauma, sexuality challenges (arousal, performance, desire mismatch, healing abuse, pain), gender concerns including resources during the gender affirmation process and exploration of alternative sexualities or relationship configurations including non-monogamy and kink.

I celebrate you in taking your first step, which is a huge strength. I believe that you are the expert of you. My goal is to create a safe space that is non-judgmental, inclusive and empowering where we can work collaboratively to achieve what success means to you. Seeking support during difficult times can be a challenge. It can make us feel like we can’t solve things on our own; or our family or cultural background has taught us that our lives are not meant to be shared. Life is an incredible journey that comes with experiences that shape who we are. Let's navigate the path together and find tools that help you overcome hurdles.

I work with individuals and couples who are open, introspective, and ready to experience new meaning in their most important relationships. I often help those struggling with a general sense of relationship dissatisfaction, tension between them and their partner, or feelings of isolation from themselves, their loved ones, or both. When these struggles feel overwhelming, I know how important it is to have a space in which all parts of you are fully seen and honored, and in which you feel as if you are growing into your truest, most authentic self.

I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 20 years. I meet you where you are, attending to the particular needs and goals you bring, helping you discover more meaning, wholeness, and pleasure in your life. The daily choices we make are often informed by our early life experiences. Despite our best efforts to change, we often find ourselves repeating unwanted patterns over and over. As we sit together, exploring your feelings, your stories, and listening to your dreams and longings, we will find ways you can open yourself up to the possibility of change, finding new energy and meaning.

I am a Harvard-trained psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, and life's challenges. My treatment approach is collaborative, interactive, holistic (examining all factors that affect your functioning), and strength-based (identifying your strengths). I focus on symptom reduction and skills-building to optimize your quality of life. I will work with you to tailor a treatment plan that meets your specific needs and goals. I am bilingual in Vietnamese. My office is located in Midtown and is half a block from the light rail.

So often we compromise our own needs to please someone else. We might have learned to do this as children to get along with our parents and family members. As we move into adulthood, this habit stays with us and can cause us to feel lonely, confused, not good enough, and a sense that something important is missing in our lives.

I am interested in meeting you individually or with your partner or spouse if you are not living your life to its fullest potential for joy, growth and connection with others.

I am a psychotherapist committed to providing culturally appropriate mental health services for the Latinx, LGBTQ+ and Spanish-speaking community. My work focuses on helping adults struggling with depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance use/abuse, trauma, and attachment disorders. I also work with youth (16-25 years old) with prodromal schizophrenia. Mental wellness is not often talked about, dealt with or even addressed at all within the Latinx community. If you are struggling with any of this, I'm here to help.

"The only way out is through." What ever you are struggling with or striving for, no matter your background or experiences, it is my privilege to support you in developing the skills needed to achieve your goals.

Hello, I am Gisoo Mohandesi, a licensed marriage and family therapist (License 10875), with over (10 years) of professional experience. As a professional, who is passionate about helping individuals, children, adolescents, and families, I believe that the way to help my clients cultivate well-being is to understand them as human beings and not just their struggles.I believe we are not defined by our hardships, but rather can learn how to use them towards building self-awareness and enhancing our strengths.

During unprecedented times, we can feel as though we are being pulled in many directions. Balance, emotional stability, and restoration of self are priority and an absolute necessity to face challenges. Therapy is a collaborative process that can aid in resolving past trauma and achieving your authentic self. If you are prepared to make way for self-discovery and healing, you have come to the right place.

Relationships can bring the greatest joys in our life but they can also be the area that causes us the most stress in our lives. Are you having any challenges communicating your needs, setting boundaries, or find yourself in relationship conflicts? Are you interested in having healthy relationships and connections? Or maybe you are looking to find that special person in your life. Whatever it may be I am here to help you gain clarity and direction for your life, yourself, and your relationships. If you would like to make some changes and get the outcomes you are looking for I am accepting new telehealth/online therapy clients.

My goal is to guide my clients to be their genuine selves, to feeling whole and complete. Helping my clients reach their fullest potential is the most rewarding feeling. The journey to being who we are rather than who others would like us to be, behaving in a manner that exemplifies self-love, self-worth, and confidence is a daily task that requires re-committing each day. The wounds of yesterday must be healed in order to move forward. I believe the client determines the direction and pace to which we accomplish this knowing all the while, self-discovery and actualization is never ending.

I believe that when individuals are ready to receive help, they will benefit greatly. Those I serve have sought assistance because they seek to move beyond their struggle, not because they had been asked to do so. This is not to say that those who have been encouraged haven't benefited as well. The approaches used allow me to serve those who are experiencing stress, anxiety or trauma. I also assist those who are ready to find their life's purpose but feel that they need the extra support in meeting this goal.

Are you struggling with making a major life decision? Are you wondering what the best next steps are for you in your life? I can help you with these questions. I take a very person centered approach to therapy. I meet my clients where they are at each session. I will help you feel happier, more at peace and more content in terms of where your life is going.
