Hello, I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. For the last seventeen years I have worked in public service, this includes educating beneficiaries to empower themselves, their family, and the community.

My name is Theresa. I am a California Licensed Marriage Family Therapist. I have completed my education at California State University, Fresno in 2014. I have experience working with individuals who struggle with depression, grief, substance abuse, anxiety, and relational issues. I have found that ensuring a safe, trusting, and collaborative environment is imperative within the journey of self-discovery to a healthy balance and to the best version of oneself. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with.

Whether it’s due to genetics, difficult events in our childhood, unforeseen life circumstances, or painful relationships sometimes we feel like we have been created or forced into ways of being that are painful. Sometimes those traumas show up as depression or anxiety, sometimes as dissociation or feelings we don't belong. I’m passionate about working with folks who recognize the pain of big and small traumas alike, and care about making the world a better place for us all to exist in. Sometimes that means understanding what happened to us better, sometimes that means changing our relationships with others and/or ourselves.

My work is guided by the tenet, Life is Relationship. If we can trust our stories to a therapist, that therapeutic relationship can transform us. Self-acceptance, and calm return. I listen compassionately to others to understand what is inhibiting their motivation and self-confidence. I consider lifestyle practices, relationships, use of substances; healthy and unhealthy habits, and one's sense of belonging. My clients and I together identify what helps them change. Some practices and tools I use to guide my work are: talk therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness and stress management practices derived from Yogic philosophy and practices.

Suffering in silence is more common than most think, feeling that we are alone and no one is going to understand. Please give yourself an opportunity to heal your wounds; I can help you. My goal as a therapist is to help you heal and empower you.

Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, and my name is Christine Sumner. I think it’s important to develop trust and rapport in a therapeutic relationship. I say therapists are like shoes. You shop for shoes just like you shop for a therapist. Sometimes you find the perfect shoes and sometimes you think you have the right shoes. Once you go out of the store and walk in your shoes for a while, they can start hurting your feet. You throw them in a closet and forget about them. Therapy can be the same way, especially when you have some tough things to work through.
