Chenda Dyck is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She's in the final stretch of her PhD in Marital and Family Therapy, and she finished her master's at Fresno State back in 2016.
Chenda was born in Ratanakiri, in Cambodia's northern highlands. Families there hold together through a lot, and she watched how that works long before she had any language for it. She arrived in the U.S. in 2003, sponsored by an adoptive American family. What she learned in those years is the thing she still builds her practice on — that one safe relationship can redirect an entire life.
Her work centers on Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), grounded in systemic and attachment theory and carried by a social-justice lens. Diverse, multiracial, and immigrant families are where she does her best work — families managing cultural pressure and emotional strain at once. In session and in supervision, she holds to the same standards: respect for culture, honesty about feelings, and the relationship kept at the center.
I've been doing this work for 18 years, and the thing I hear most from new clients is some version of: "I wasn't sure therapy would work for me." I get it. Finding the right fit matters — and I think fit has a lot to do with feeling like your therapist actually understands where you're coming from. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, and I bring a genuinely culturally informed perspective to the work. I see adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, family conflict, ADHD, identity questions, and relationship stress — across communities that are often underrepresented in mental health care. I'm direct when that's useful, patient when it's needed, and warm throughout.
The focus of my care includes partnering with clients to assist them in learning how to function in healthy relationships with themselves and others. I enjoy working with clients who have been wounded by trauma and want to learn how to heal from trauma.
Hi, I am Beth, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA. Adoption and foster care require a different kind of heart and a specialized set of tools. With three decades of dedicated experience, I help families navigate the nuances of trauma and "blocked trust." My approach is deeply empathetic, rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection. I provide the seasoned perspective you need to understand your child’s needs—and your own—more deeply. You don't have to do this alone.
When you’re carrying the weight of depression or the constant hum of anxiety, the last thing you need is a clinical lecture. You need a place where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or the pressure to perform. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the heart of the work. Over my 23 years in practice, I’ve focused on creating a space that is first and foremost human, built on a foundation of genuine connection and trust.
You don't have to carry the weight of your past alone.
I'm Christina Rodriguez, LMFT, a Christian therapist who specializes in helping adults heal from trauma, anxiety, and the emotional wounds that continue to affect their relationships, self-worth, and daily life. I believe healing is possible when you have a safe place to process your story with compassion, evidence-based therapy, and if you desire a faith-centered approach rooted in biblical truth.
I offer a warm, supportive, and welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we can explore life’s challenges, heal from past experiences, and work toward meaningful and lasting change. I draw from different therapeutic approaches to meet you where you are and support your unique journey. My goal is to help you build greater self-awareness, strengthen your relationships, and create a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling.
Is your cup feeling empty?
I'm Shahna Duerksen, M.A., LMFT, a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing therapy exclusively to women 18+ through California telehealth and in-person sessions in Fresno.
I work with women who spend much of their lives pouring into others and may eventually feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, disconnected, or unsure of who they are beyond their responsibilities. Sometimes everyone else is receiving our time, energy, and care while our own cups are running low.
I especially enjoy helping women navigate adult ADHD symptoms, anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, boundaries, relationship distress, betrayal trauma related to infidelity or problematic sexual behaviors in a partner, identity and life transitions, and family or cultural expectations.
I also support therapists and mental health professionals—from those in training to experienced clinicians—who are navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, professional boundaries, self-care, and the emotional demands of caring for others.
Another meaningful part of my work is supporting women navigating life between cultures, including South Asian and Indian women balancing their own needs and identity with family, cultural, spiritual, or relational expectations. Finding room for yourself doesn't have to mean abandoning the people or values that matter to you.
I earned my M.A. in Intercultural Studies and M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fresno Pacific University. My education and professional experience inform my interest in culturally responsive care and the ways culture, family, relationships, and life experiences shape how we understand ourselves.
And yes—funny, polite sarcasm and humor are fluently spoken. I also speak very basic conversational Hindi.
Hello. My name is Khamnga Sengmany, licensed clinical social worker. I have been working as a social worker for 30+ years and as a therapist for over seven years. I have experiences with assisting clients work through a range of problems including anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, loss and grief, work-related stress, life transitions.
Hi, I'm glad you're here.
I have a Master of Science in Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy and have spent the past several years working with children, parents, foster parents, and families involved in the child welfare system. Along the way, I've learned that people heal best when they feel safe, understood, and accepted.
I work with people of all ages and am especially helpful for those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and attachment-related concerns. People often tell me I'm easy to talk to. I'm a regular person first and a therapist second, and I believe some of the best therapy happens through a genuine human connection.
You don't have to figure this out on your own. The answers are inside of you, and therapy provides a meaningful way to be supported in finding them.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing online telehealth and outdoor therapy, including Walk and Talk therapy.
I use an integrative, holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally aware approach. My style is warm, empathetic, and thoughtful, as well as active, pragmatic, and concrete. I foster a safe environment for deep reflection and for developing and implementing the necessary tools to encourage desired change.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Visalia
Searching for therapists in Visalia starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and therapy styles listed in each profile, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy. If you are considering marriage counseling in Visalia, CA, or couples therapy in Visalia, review whether the therapist has specific training in working with partners.
In a smaller city like Visalia, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger California markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in California. Consider practical fit alongside clinical focus, including appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their session format works with your schedule. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their communication style, approach to care, and what a first session may look like before you book.
Therapy in Visalia can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see a clear estimate before your first appointment. Headway helps you search therapists and psychologists in Visalia, CA, who match your needs, take insurance, and offer in-person or virtual sessions. You can compare profiles, check availability, review estimated costs, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
