Female Therapists in Santa Rosa, CA

Feeling the need to talk with someone? Do you want to move beyond the past, settle the present and get on with your life? Are you in need of support due to trauma, chronic health issues, or a crisis such as cancer?

As a licensed therapist, I believe my role is to be a tool for change and support as you walk your own path. I operate from the assumption that you are the expert of your own life, and I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I bring unconditional warmth and empathy to sessions while also helping clients determine their own negative beliefs or patterns that may be contributing to feelings of distress. With increased awareness and insight, together we can work on letting go of fear, resentment, healing past wounds, expressing needs and boundaries, and building healthy relationships.

Have you lost your way? Do you struggle in your relationships? Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Or perhaps you and your partner find yourselves embroiled in the same arguments over and over again, longing for connection but finding that whatever you do is wrong? Do past relationship injuries or trauma tend to affect your present day well-being? I can help you unravel the stresses and find your way out of the fog. I’m here to help you find your way home–to the Self you were meant to be.

My name is Tanya Ward, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I embrace a compassionate and client-centered approach to therapy and am committed to fostering a safe and nonjudgmental environment. I encourage individuals to explore their authentic selves and collaboratively address the challenges and obstacles hindering their personal growth and well-being. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and couple's issues.

Do you need help for anxiety, a challenging inner critic, panic attacks, finding direction in life, dealing with interpersonal conflict, and exploring sexual orientation and/or gender identity? I offer ways to explore finding a sense of greater ease and well-being in relationship with yourself. For couples/relationships, I facilitate and assist in communication and exploration with each other and offer a holding space for underlying disharmony to arise. I am proudly queer-, poly-, and kink-affirming.

My 40 year professional career has spanned a range of human problems from couple's conflict to trauma recovery. I have come to understand that whether a person is grappling with depression or chronic illness there is an opportunity for greater understanding of themselves, and by extension, of what it means to be a whole & complete human being in the world.

Loneliness is a trickster. It can disguise itself as depression or anxiety. It can get us to sabotage our relationships and jobs, make unwise decisions, neglect our health, turn to substances or food, lose faith in the future. It can decimate our self-esteem, without which we cannot give to others. Maybe once it was loss, grief, trauma, betrayal, being at the top, illness, misfortune, being different, oppression, distance, or age. But now, maybe it's loneliness. And with the requirements of Sheltering In Place and Social Distancing during COVID19, loneliness has become a heightened risk for all of us.

I come from a family systems-based background and I work with clients to identify and make changes in their relationships and environment to achieve long-lasting change. I often utilize a systems approach, such as structural family therapy. I also utilize an emotionally-focused and attachment-based approach to therapy.

I'm Molly Sullivan. I'm a Bay Area native, a lover of all bodies of water, a dog person, and a trained clinical social worker. I feel lucky to have a career that allows me to bring my authentic self to my work and harness the power of human connection. Therapy has the power to transform our relationships with ourselves, and, by extension, with others. I help to bring my clients into a more loving and understanding relationship with themselves to heal old wounds and make more space for ease and joy in their lives and relationships.

Many people come to therapy experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or some other phase of life issue. People who find working with me helpful tend to want to go beyond treating symptoms to understanding what is keeping them stuck and working towards being freed from internal conflicts that are blocking them from enjoying their lives. They are seeking self-discovery, healing, understanding, and growth.

Each of us is unique. We all come from different backgrounds and cultures. People suffer in different ways and pain can manifest itself through our mental health in various forms such as depression, anxiety, and a myriad of physical and health problems. My goal is to help you make positive changes in your life in order to become the person you aspire to be. I believe no matter how challenging the process, we need to be content and be our authentic selves. In order to do this, we need to explore our struggles and gain insight and make positive change in our lives.

I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is the foundation in order for any healing to happen. Trust and mutual respect is important for progress to be made and I spend time getting to know the client and what brings them in. The client is the expert on their life and their experiences, and I feel privileged to be the witness of that journey. Most of the people I work with are children, adolescents or young adults, but I also enjoy working with women and adults in areas of transition, family issues, relationships, parenting or looking for support or personal growth.
