Emotionally Focused Therapists in Yuba City, CA

Hello! My name is Kyle Shepard, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Los Angeles, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in life transitions, identity issues, stress, and trauma. I am using a Client-Centered, DBT, and Emotionally Focused approach to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use dialectical behavior therapy and postmodern approaches.

My goal as a Christian therapist is to provide a nurturing environment where clients feel safe to explore their lives. Relief from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship issues are often areas of clinical focus. My extensive training as a hospital chaplain has provided me with exposure to many difficult situations where pain, grief, and trauma are common to people of all faiths as well as those who do not embrace a particular faith. It is my desire to wholeheartedly journey alongside each client, respecting the unique aspects of every person's faith tradition, situation and needs.

The best project you will ever work on is YOU (or your relationships). There is HOPE and everyone has a story. I am here to hear yours, your families, relationships or child's. I will coach you through the challenges you face with compassion and trust. I am a psychotherapist and the owner/director of Sierra Family Therapy Centers in Nevada County. I work with couples, individuals and troubled teens/children. My approach is strength-based, providing support and feedback to my clients in order to help gain insight towards improving your life.

Asking for support for yourself or your child is a courageous step. Without warning you may find yourself dealing with loss of a relationship, changing schools or jobs, or just feeling like life has lost its spark. Perhaps parenting, which used to be so easy, does not seem to be working. Or carrying so much anxiety & stress, day-in & day-out has become too heavy. Life has turned upside down, magnifying everything to the point that it's just overwhelming. I get it, & I can help you pave a path to reclaim your well-being. Together, we can develop the skills needed to motivate you or your child & enhance your individual strengths.

I highly desire to preserve the family unit. I love working with couples, teens, family dynamics while exploring exestential concepts, challenging traditional roles and perceptions that result in individual autonomy, confidence and authentisity. I love helping blended families work together in finding common values, aligning with parenting styles and goals, while increasing life satisfaction for all indivduals involved. I enjoy supporting couples recover from addictions and infedelity as well as other challenges and barriers that are often identified as "dealbreakers" and reframing previous expectations to create new ones.

My name is Jane Vanderwerf, and I am an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) who specializes in anxiety, stress, and developmental trauma. I am a supportive, authentic, and direct therapist who prioritizes my clients' emotional safety and sense of connectedness. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. In practice, this means that we identify the underlying causes for symptoms and then use that insight to change the way you think and behave to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. I also use Exposure and Response Prevention for anxiety, Narrative Therapy, and some trauma-informed modalities.

Life is hard. In one moment, life as you know it can be completely changed. Are the things that once made you happy no longer making you happy? Have you been through a frightening experience that left you feeling scared, lonely, or even doubting who you are? Maybe you’ve been through a series of little things that you believe shouldn’t be bothering you, but they are. Do you feel completely misunderstood and alone? I get it. You are not alone. Everyone needs space to process life’s challenges and successes. No one is supposed to be able to figure it all out on their own.

Maybe you've tried everything, but still feel depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. Old behaviors continue, & are impacting your relationships & day-to-day life. You want to be free from your past, but don’t know how to let go or move on. Reaching out for help is the hardest first step. I am here to help. I know your struggle is real & I'll work with you to develop deeper understanding of what is keeping you from living the life you want. In our sessions, you can expect me to be relational; clients have described me as warm, funny, & nonjudgmental. We'll set goals in the first session to add direction to the therapeutic process.

Ideally, I would like to use my extensive training and 40+ years of counseling experience to support, assist and advocate for clients whose personal identity lies on the LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum, while they explore, investigate, or plan the rest of their life journey in their true identity. Naturally, I do NOT exclude others from becoming clients, since I also have a wealth of experience serving clients from the vast straight and cisgender community.

We all have a story, but when was the last time you truly read yours? I am an Associate MFT, with a great deal of interest in client centered narrative therapy. I'll help you review the stories that make up the unique individual that you are and help refine that story as something you can be proud of. I find most of my client's, regardless of diagnosis or primary concern, struggle with strong negative beliefs about either themselves or the world around them. Allow me to assist in dispelling those beliefs and show you the world from a brighter angle and your life as it could be when you unlock your authentic self!
