Therapists in Sacramento, CA

Hi there, I'm Jose! My name is Jose Quiroz, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the San Bernardino/Riverside County metro area of southern California. I work in a mental health forensic hospital providing therapy to clients struggling with depression, anxiety, and chemical dependence. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist my clients in making progress so that they may feel better.

My hope is that the safe and supportive environment I seek to create will be a place where you can openly process difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. When you work with me in therapy, I will assist you in finding the tools and skills needed to live your life more effectively. I know that the challenges you may be facing right now can feel really big and overwhelming and I am here to sit with you in your pain and to help you make positive changes in your life, in part by accessing the wisdom and strength you already hold within.

Welcome! My name is Kendra Cunha, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe that safety and trust are the foundation of a good therapeutic relationship. Despite your circumstances, I will welcome you into a judgment-free space. My client focus includes individuals (Adults and Teens), Couples, and Elders (65+). I enjoy working with all communities. My passion is helping those who are struggling with interpersonal relationships, family conflict, life transitions, trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, stress, medical trauma, and self-harm.

Struggling to show up physically, emotionally, and socially at school or work? Overwhelmed with the thought that things may never get better? Or with the thought, "I'm better off alone?" Many have been here and have had similar thoughts including me. But if my 25+ years of working with youth, young adults, and families have taught me anything, it’s the ​incredible ​ability of a healing connection to create change, even when things are looking bleak. ​No matter where you find yourself, ​positive change is possible​.​ It’s my belief that honesty, transparency and open conversation can pave the way to a better tomorrow.

It’s okay! Things will be alright! (>‿◠) Meet me at my mid-town Sacramento counseling office for a chill, judgment-free space to have a friendly, casual little talk about what’s going on.

Being a person who is transgender, gender expansive, or on the gender spectrum is not easy. It is never easy when you are different from societies' norms. Whether you are seeking help for your child or yourself, together we can explore who you are, who you hope to be and how to help you get there. Everyone deserves to live life to their fullest ability and authentically. If you are struggling give me a call. We can talk on the phone and if you feel comfortable we can meet for a session and see how we work together.

Alongside the general anxiety & depression issues that bring many to therapy, I’m passionate about supporting those experiencing loss. Whether grappling with the end of a relationship, the passing of a loved one, or the upheaval of a job loss; loss affects us all deeply. Often accompanying these losses is a sense of identity dissolution, which can be disorienting yet holds potential for profound personal growth. My therapeutic approach to relational loss is rooted in a trauma-informed lens, informed by my extensive exploration of grief.

UPDATE: I am currently no longer accepting new clients. My practice focuses on individual work for children, adolescents and adults, in addition to a variety of groups for children and adults.

Let’s be real, looking for a therapist can be overwhelming. Lots of scrolling through profiles, reading countless bios, and not knowing where to start. And yet you still pursue it. To me, that shows an incredible amount of strength, resiliency, motivation, and a readiness for change. In my practice, I come from a collaborative, empathetic, humorous, and supportive approach, as I aim to listen and adapt to each individual’s or couple’s therapeutic goals.

Ever felt as though you are "too sensitive"? Well, the truth is we are living in a society where sensitivity is crucial. My aim is to help guide this natural emotional reaction to your environment in a productive way. This will allow you to gain confidence in your innate skills to overcome the inevitable obstacles that you will continually face throughout life.

Hello, there! I treat a variety of mental health concerns, and I specialize in gender-affirmative care for transgender, nonbinary, gender diverse, and intersex people. You might be questioning your gender or want to talk with an experienced therapist. Perhaps you have come out & are finding dealing with other people’s reactions challenging. Perhaps stress has taken its toll and you are having symptoms of anxiety or depression. I can help you navigate these challenges to feel better. Working with neurodiversity is wonderful and I welcome all parts of your experience.

Reflection and acknowledgement of our previous relationships are essential in developing new patterns and perspectives for our current and future relationships. A history of experienced distress, trauma, abuse, or betrayal from an intimate partner, friendship, colleague, and/or family member can have a dramatic affect on how we experience and approach new relationships. This may result in frequent conflict, fears of rejection, difficulties with trust, avoidance of vulnerability, and defensiveness. Recovering from a toxic relationship is possible.

I have over 45 years of experience working in the Holistic Health field, and so I draw from many different modalities where we explore together what is needed for change and growth. I believe that what is true for each person can be found within, so my job is to help you explore and find those answers and insights that lead to growth. I also offer a deeply personal and interactive relationship where I seek to provide the safety for this exploration, as well as the opportunity to have an experience of a relationship that is both corrective and healing.

I can help you discover and strengthen healthy boundaries, guide you to take action on your personal values and life goals, and teach you how to regain your emotional balance when life is working your last nerve. Be kinder to yourself, have greater patience with loved ones, your family of choice, friends and co-workers, and decrease the overwhelming sense of loneliness that you may have felt during this crummy pandemic.
