Hello, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed since 2008, with experience working with diverse populations ranging from children to older adults. I provide a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel supported and understood. I especially enjoy helping individuals navigate life transitions such as starting college, graduating, changing jobs, adjusting to civilian life after the military, or entering retirement. My areas of focus include women’s issues, anxiety, depression, and building self-acceptance. I look forward to supporting you as you move toward growth and balance in your life.
Hi! I am a licensed clinical psychologist, offering secure virtual therapy services throughout California and Texas. I provide flexible, accessible care for busy professionals and individuals, seeking support from the comfort of home. I am working with individuals, couples, and families.
My personal and professional experiences have shaped my passion for supporting others through life’s transitions. As a military spouse for many years, I experienced firsthand the challenges of relocation, adapting to new environments, and rebuilding support systems. I have experience supporting individuals and families through grief, medical challenges, and emotional stress in both medical and school settings. I support adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feelings of overwhelm or disconnection. I especially enjoy helping people through significant changes and adjusting to new seasons of life.
Hi, I’m Jessica. I specialize in helping individuals and families navigate anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, family conflict, relationship issues, life transitions, stress, self-esteem concerns, codependency, and women’s issues. Using a humanistic, cognitive behavioral, and client centered approach, I create care that is compassionate, practical, and tailored to your unique goals.
Hi, I’m Amaris, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes healing happens best in a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged.
I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, grief, and major life transitions. Whether your child is having big feelings they don’t know how to manage, you’re feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, or your family is walking through the heartbreak of dementia or loss, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
My style is supportive, down-to-earth, and collaborative. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you understand yourself, build practical tools, and feel more confident handling life’s challenges. I blend evidence-based approaches with compassion, creativity, and sometimes even humor, because growth doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.
Parents appreciate that I help kids build emotional regulation skills in ways that make sense to them, and I make sure caregivers feel supported too. Adults often come to me when anxiety, emotional ups and downs, or grief feel overwhelming. I also have a special place in my heart for working with older adults and families facing Alzheimer’s, dementia, and end-of-life changes.
At the core of my work is this belief:
You are not broken, you’re human, and you’re capable of growth.
If you’re ready for a space where you can show up exactly as you are, we’ll work at your pace, together.
I specialize in supporting high-functioning adults navigating ADHD, burnout, addiction, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is direct, compassionate, and focused on helping you understand how your mind works—while building practical tools that create real, lasting change.
Growing up near a national park, I am consistently reminded of and influenced by the importance of nature on our physical, mental, and emotional health in my mental health practice. As an LMFT, I've worked with a variety of populations, most of whom experienced major trauma or complex trauma, and aid them in reconnecting to their sense of self and safety. I received my MS from California Lutheran University with a specialization in trauma and BA from CSU Chico. I have been licensed for 4 years and have provided therapy for the last 8 years including an associate and traineeship.
Hi, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I offer a supportive and judgment-free space to help you manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, and mood disorders. I work with children, adolescents, and adults using evidence-based care that’s tailored to your needs. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered within the family. Let’s walk this journey together, one step at a time.
I am a New Jersey native and have over 20 years of professional experience working in various clinical and supportive facilities such as Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Outpatient Treatment, State Residential Treatment Centers, Community Mental Health Clinics, Employee Assistance Programs, and Assisted Living centers.
Having been in therapy myself, I've experienced firsthand its positive impact, helping me overcome my anxiety and equipping me with practical tools I still use today. I understand that repeatedly answering 'How does that make you feel?' can be frustrating. Drawing from my personal experience both as a therapy client and practitioner in a treatment center setting, I bring energy into my sessions and build momentum to help clients get unstuck and face their Anxiety & OCD with confidence.
Hi! My name is Rachel. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I’m here to start with where you are at. We will work collaboratively to help you heal from past hurts and the negative scripts that are running your show. I offer a non judgmental space for you to come, slow down, breathe and just be. My approach includes EMDR, Somatic Therapy and a values- based approach that helps you handle tough thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them.
I am very honest, caring, real and genuine. Encouragement and support for their future journey.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Nevada City
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.
