Humanistic Therapists in West Sacramento, CA

Hello, welcome to therapy! My name is Haley Land, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the Los Angeles area. I utilize a client-centered approach with a focus on facilitating a meaningful therapeutic experience! My focus areas of practice are anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and gender health. Some of the theoretical approaches I utilize are theories of systems, person in the environment, cognitive behavior, and the humanistic approach.

As a fat, queer, neurodivergent disruptor of societal norms and systems, I hold a strength-based attachment focused framework that values and celebrates all genders, sexualities, bodies, ethnicities, cultures, abilities, family structures, religions, and socio-economic locations. I see these intersectionalities as a beautiful tapestry of personal empowerments which can become the foundation from which we work collectively to identify, address and dismantle systems of oppression. I believe humans shouldn’t be pathologized in a society designed to keep people sick and stuck.

I am truly passionate about mental health and committed to helping individuals from all walks of life, with a special focus on serving the diverse LGBTQIA+ community. Understanding the unique challenges and experiences that individuals in this community may face is at the core of my practice. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where people can heal and find solace in their journey towards personal growth. I firmly believe that everyone deserves a supportive environment where they can overcome obstacles and navigate life's transitions.

A solid therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes in therapy. I am glad that you are seeking more information to see if we might be a good fit to work together in meeting your goals. I will keep it brief as some clients prefer to know very little about me. Others seek more information...so if there are any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.​I was born into a large midwestern family. After high school, I headed to the east coast where I attended the United States Naval Academy.

I believe that everyone has the potential to heal and grow, and my role as a therapist is to help facilitate that process. It can be difficult to begin to open up and work on pain that has harmed us for so long. My place is to walk along side you during your time of need and in your time of comfort. I create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their innermost thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I have expertise in marriage counseling and individual therapy, in which I specialize. Couples counseling is considered short-term, generally between 10 and 25 sessions. I focus on advancing communication skills, intimacy, trust, parenting skills, values clarification, resolving conflict, and building a marital vision. I also specialize in family-of-origin issues (relationship issues, generational problems, rejection complex, identity/ self-esteem concerns, and physical and sexual abuse).

Hello! My name is Mayra Almanza and I am a formerly undocumented LMFT. My goal in therapy is to identify the different areas of your life that are being impacted and ensure that we find direction while not forgetting that there are many areas that need focus. Currently, my focus is on supporting individuals and couples in need of reproductive mental health. I take a holistic and client-centered approach in your sessions. I tend to use a more cognitive behavioral approach by discussing thoughts and feelings and working to challenge those when appropriate.

Hi. My name is Ruth Cano and I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe in meeting my clients where they are at in their therapeutic journey. I aspire to create a nonjudgmental and welcoming environment to walk together in therapeutic goal progress. I have 8 years working experience with children, adolescents and their families who come from challenging parenting backgrounds and are exposed to many stressors within the home and school settings. I have many years treating clients at risk of suicidal ideation and extensive work in safety planning with clients and their families that are at risk.

Hello and welcome! If you'd like to create more space for joy, connection, and calm in your life, I would love to work with you! I specialize in treating depression, trauma, anxiety, stress, self-esteem issues, body image issues, and perfectionism. I use a person-centered approach and mindfulness to help create a safe space for you to reflect on your relationship patterns and goals. I also like to infuse behavioral therapy techniques to help you hone in on concrete steps you can take to make active changes in your life. I hope to help you find more meaning, creativity, and joy in life.

If you feel unfulfilled in your relationships and find loss and change difficult, and if you want to get to the source of the patterns and blocks keeping you stuck in worry, anxiety, emotional eating, lost sleep, and a lack of purpose, then I can help. I especially enjoy working with couples and individuals longing for a connection to their "soul's wisdom" so they can feel more balance, joy, and fulfillment. I am an integrative, holistic mind-body-spirit psychotherapist. I offer techniques that will help you tune into your deepest self, the part of you that has your best wisdom and answers for what you are seeking in your life.

Asking for help for yourself or a loved one can be difficult. Sharing your life experiences, thoughts and feelings with a complete stranger is even more difficult. That is why I believe that it is important to build a strong foundation of trust and help you feel comfortable and safe enough to share your story and life experiences with me. Finding a good fit with a therapist is very important to reach your goals and is key to growth and bringing forth your inner strength.

I have been providing and managing behavioral health care services in the Sacramento Metropolitan area since 2000. I am a professionally trained therapist whose goal is to help individuals, couples, and families face their emotional issues with courage and strength while learning to grow and change in a motivating and safe environment. I use multiple treatment modalities which draw upon the personal strengths of my clientele. In addition to English, I speak Gujarati and Hindi, and am comfortable working with people from many cultured and backgrounds.

I am passionate about helping individuals achieve their best selves and find fulfillment in life. Sometimes, we are held back by past hurts, low self esteem, anxiety, loss, or other life challenges. If you want to find ways to overcome life challenges, feel more confident, and have better relationships, I am here to help! I also love working with couples. Relationships, especially those with our spouse or partner are the most important thing in life. Often couples find themselves struggling to communicate and feel disconnected from one another. I would love to help you and your partner feel more connected!

I am a forensic psychotherapist that works with families involved in custody disputes with a focus on the best interests for children. My focus with all clients is to find solutions to complex issues. My approach is direct and goal oriented. For psychotherapy, I treat individuals, families, and children. I also hold closed support groups for Recovery from Psychological Abuse (specifically narcissistic abuse). I work extensively with individuals going through divorce. I enjoy working with children and teens in treating depression/ anxiety, Trauma, Introversion/social anxiety, peer issues, and parental conflict/divorce.

I have been a therapist for over twenty-five years and have had the opportunity to work with many different clients and circumstances along the way. I provide therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am constantly amazed by the strength and perseverance of my clients and I greatly appreciate that they allow me into their lives so that we may work through their challenges together. In particular, I have worked extensively with children and parents, many of divorced families. My adult clients are often dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and childhood issues.

Seeking a therapist can be the starting point towards the changes you want to make in your life. This process can be exciting and intimidating. An ideal therapist is one who is understanding, and offers clients a supportive environment. Building a positive self-image, developing healthy communication skills, strengthening relationships, and creating effective coping skills is our goal. I believe the relationship between a therapist and client is the strongest component of the therapy experience. Honesty and a straightforward approach is what you can expect. I love what I do, and I look forward to working with you.
