Great to meet you! Taking the first step toward caring for your mental health can feel overwhelming, so I'm glad you're here. I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 13 years of experience helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized, and I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to reach your goals.
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+.
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 Lucia Acosta, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor passionate about helping adolescents and adults navigate the challenges of anxiety, anger, and life’s complexities. I am bilingual in Spanish and provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions, share your experiences, and work toward meaningful change. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, I’m here to help you find clarity and confidence as we navigate your healing journey together.
Hi, and welcome! I am Joy Nnebe, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am thrilled you’re considering working with me.
I have 8 years of experience in psychiatric/mental health nursing, and I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and more, using approaches like CBT therapy and trauma-informed care. I aim to provide simple, non-judgemental, supportive, and personalized care to help you feel understood and empowered on your mental health journey.
We all have moments in our lives when we may feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or simply in need of extra support in reaching a balanced life. I am here to work with you on overcoming some of life’s biggest challenges. My experience has been with a focus on improving your overall quality of life. Collaboratively, I work with my clients to help them heal from the effects of trauma, work through grief and loss, life transitions, depression, anxiety, parenting struggles or relationship issues. I also have experience in helping parents and children who are managing early childhood development or ADHD concerns.
I’m Thomas Moore, LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor providing therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity development, and complex relational patterns. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in repeating cycles such as overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, intense reactions, or difficulty maintaining stable relationships even when they logically understand what they should do. My goal is to help you translate insight into real change.
My approach is structured and compassionate. I integrate evidence based methods including cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation training, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and trauma informed therapy. Sessions focus on understanding why your brain reacts the way it does and building practical tools you can actually use outside the therapy room. This is not only about talking through problems but learning how to respond differently when they show up in real life.
I work well with clients who want more than passive support and are ready to build skills, increase self awareness, and interrupt patterns that no longer serve them.
What clients should know before starting
Therapy with me is collaborative and active and you will learn strategies rather than only venting. We will work on understanding both the emotional and neurological side of your reactions. Sessions focus on present day functioning while also addressing past experiences that still affect you. I may gently challenge patterns when it supports growth while maintaining a supportive and respectful space. Progress often comes from small repeated changes rather than sudden breakthroughs.
If you are looking for therapy that combines validation with practical change, we will likely work well together.
Greetings,

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Sacramento, CA
Searching for therapists in Sacramento starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Sacramento therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and training match what you want to discuss. Provider bios can also show whether someone uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Sacramento offers a range of therapy options across neighborhoods like Midtown, Land Park, East Sacramento, and Carmichael, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. If commute time, parking, or schedule changes affect your choice, virtual therapy can make it easier to find a therapist whose availability fits your calendar. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and free phone consultations. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Sacramento can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, and you can confirm insurance coverage and review estimated costs before you book. You can browse Sacramento therapy options, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
