Hello! My name is Jeffrey Steer, and I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 17 years. My education and training have given me experience in working with a variety of issues related to mental health, and I especially enjoy working with clients who struggle with stress, anxiety, and challenges of daily life. I also have an interest in working with men's issues and clients who identify as LGBTQIA+.
I am passionate about working with individuals couples! I have years of clinical and non clinical experience working with people in their most difficult moments and seasons. I have a Masters in Counseling Psychology from William Jessup University as well as being a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP II).
I offer individual psychotherapy for adults healing from trauma, and working to
have a different relationship with others, themselves, their bodies, and food.
Located in Sacramento, California, I offer a combination of individual and group
sessions in addition to telehealth throughout California. My work is person-
centered, grounded in warmth, curiosity, and respect for everyone’s unique
story. Whether you are navigating eating disorder recovery, body image distress,
trauma, or identity exploration, therapy can be a place to gently make sense of
what feels overwhelming.
As a trauma-informed and trauma-trained therapist, I believe healing happens
not only through insight, but through felt experience. Together, I will support
you in learning how safety, connection, and regulation can live in the body again.
I specialize in working with adults and queer individuals navigating trauma,
eating disorder recovery, and body image distress.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, my educational experiences includes an MA in Counseling Psychology as well as a BA in Psychology. Along with my psychological background, I bring over 30 years of experience and education helping individuals in various school and ministry settings which includes a Certificate in Women's ministry. With this experience, I've gained valuable insights and understanding that has greatly impacted my ability to support clients on their therapeutic journey.
I’m here to make this journey feel gentle, welcoming, and human. I keep things clear and simple so you can focus on what matters, not the overwhelm. My style is warm, encouraging, and a little poetic—because softness helps us breathe. Let’s take this step together, one calm moment at a time.
Are you struggling to have harmony in your relationships? Does having ease in your life seem like a far-fetched dream? Are you feeling overwhelmed with the state of the world and all you have to do? Welcome, you're in the right place! I have been in your shoes and the first (or twenty) step is always the hardest. As someone who has learned to balance multiple cultures, I know what it can feel like to straddle various parts of your identity. I have first hand experienced feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, angry, and at a complete loss for how to navigate the intensity of my emotions. This has informed my practice and work with clients where I strongly believe that our emotions guide us to understanding ourselves in a new light. Asking for help can be difficult, especially in a culture that values productivity over personality.
My approach is influenced by Jungian, Depth, and Transpersonal psychology, feminist, queer and social justice-allied, and strength-based. I hold an MA in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Expressive Arts Therapy from California Institute of Integral Studies, and have been in practice for 10 years in a wide variety of clinical mental health settings.
You may be seeking support in moving toward a more preferred version of yourself, your life, and your relationships. You may be questioning important facets of your identity, or wondering how to locate and uproot the seeds of painful and complicated emotions. Perhaps you are curious about navigating a different type of relational structure with your loved ones, or you may be feeling stuck with a particular challenge in the way you connect to others. My role as a therapist is to provide support and facilitate insight that will allow you to work toward your personal goals.

Clients working with me can expect a therapeutic experience rooted in restorative care, cultural authenticity, and deep respect for their lived story. At Cultivating A Better Me, healing is not defined solely by symptom reduction—it is a process of rebuilding inner safety, strengthening emotional resilience, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that deserve to be seen, honored, and supported.
My clinical foundation began at Sacramento Head Start, where I learned the profound impact of compassion, early intervention, and family‐centered support. With advanced training in Early Childhood Development and Counseling Psychology, I bring specialized expertise in disruptive behaviors, trauma‐responsive care, and expressive‐arts‐based healing.
Within my practice, clients are invited into a space where they can slow down, breathe, and explore their experiences without judgment. I integrate evidence‐based practices with creativity, narrative work, and culturally grounded approaches that honor identity, community, and personal agency.
Most importantly, clients should know that I show up with presence, authenticity, and a deep commitment to helping them cultivate meaningful, sustainable change. Healing is a collaborative journey—and I walk alongside you with compassion, clarity, and support.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Auburn
Searching for therapists in Auburn starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist is trained for those needs. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare Auburn therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match what you want to work on, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their approach.
In a smaller city like Auburn, the number of nearby in-person therapy offices may be more limited than in larger California markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, listed specialties, and practical details like schedule fit.
Therapy in Auburn can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and have current availability. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
