Hi, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes meaningful change begins with a genuine therapeutic relationship.

Hello, my name is Tamra Smith. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Sacramento, CA. I have over 20 years of experience in the field of Mental Health Services, especially providing therapy and consultation. My practice name is Path to Wellbeing Therapy Services, and I truly lead each person on a path to their own emotional health and wellbeing.
I am open, approachable, and committed to listening carefully to your experiences without judgment. I believe that each person carries a unique story, and my goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and encouraged as you navigate life’s challenges and opportunities for growth. Together, we can explore what is most important to you and work toward creating a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and aligned with your values.
My background includes earning a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, along with a lifelong appreciation for personal growth, nature, and the healing power of connection. Growing up learning to surf fostered a deep respect for the ocean and the lessons it offers about resilience, balance, and adapting to life's changing conditions. These experiences have shaped my belief in the importance of honoring each individual’s journey and recognizing that growth often comes through both challenge and reflection.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 4 years of experience. I have experience working with clients facing a variety of emotional and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment difficulties, trauma-related concerns, and postpartum disorders. I provide evidence-based psychotherapy that supports emotional wellbeing, healthy coping skills, and personal growth in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.
My therapeutic approach is integrated and tailored to meet your unique needs. I often draw from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational interviewing.
I believe that in order for therapy to be effective, the client has to participate in the process. I am not a magician. I don't have a magic wand. Changing old behaviors and patterns can be difficult and painful but i am willing to be there to support you on your journey to better health.
If you have been carrying stress, anxiety, or the weight of life's challenges for a long time, you may have wondered whether things can actually change. I believe they can.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in California with over 30 years of clinical experience working with adults, families, and communities.

My work spans a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, trauma, and substance use recovery.
Hi, I’m Dalicia Mack-Nowell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, everyday stress, life transitions, burnout, and relationship challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or just not like yourself lately, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m here to support you in making sense of what you’re going through and finding a way forward that feels right for you.
We can all feel overwhelmed by persistent sadness, anxiety, or racing thoughts. Major life shifts—like a career change, relationship end, parenting, or new phase of life—can be difficult to navigate. You do not have to figure it out alone.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping adults break free from painful emotional patterns and reclaim a sense of control. My practice specializes in treating mood disorders and guiding individuals through challenging life transitions.
I believe therapy is most effective when you feel accepted, understood, and empowered. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself while also feeling challenged to grow. I meet clients where they are, recognizing that everyone comes to therapy with unique experiences, strengths, and goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Nevada City, CA
Searching for therapists in Nevada City starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want to address. Therapists may support concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and work with people who share your goals.
In a smaller community like Nevada City, the number of local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger California markets. Nearby areas such as Grass Valley may offer additional choices, and virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care accessible from home. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether their session style feels like a fit. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what to expect and decide who may be the right match.
Therapy in Nevada City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and seeing an estimate before you book can make the next step clearer. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific location and see providers who are accepting new patients. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
