Kalene Khan

Kalene Khan

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 4.3 mi away • Sacramento, CA


Hi! I'm Kalene. I help those who find it easy to be compassionate toward others but struggle with self-compassion. I work with perfectionists, people-pleasers, and overthinkers who feel burnt out from always being "on" and trying to meet impossible expectations. These expectations may be self-inflicted, or come from an overload of responsibilities, such as being a caregiver, parent, help professional, public figure, or family leader. I have specialized training and experience in supporting survivors of sexual trauma and those in the Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi American (APIDA) community. I help people build a greater sense of self-compassion through traditional 1:1 therapy, and reset their overactive nervous system through integrative neurofeedback/biofeedback.

Rhonda Calvin

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 5.5 mi away • Sacramento, CA


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.

Amanda Doty

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • Carmichael, CA


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.
