If you’re considering a therapist, Rohnert Park, CA, has plenty of options available. Therapy is a great way to begin a journey of personal growth or manage concerns that threaten your emotional well-being. Mental health professionals are highly qualified to manage several concerns, from mental health conditions like anxiety disorders to the challenges of self-discovery journeys. They offer a safe and supportive environment, free from judgment or condescension. One of the main roles of a therapist is to offer a supportive environment where you can be your authentic self, which is typically considered an essential part of the therapy process. 

Therapists often specialize in certain areas, and it is usually worthwhile to seek out therapists whose specialty matches your area of concern. For example, if you want help improving your relationship with your romantic partner, a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) might be a good choice. A licensed MFT has specific training in family and interpersonal relationships, giving them advanced tools and techniques for addressing relationship concerns. If, on the other hand, you want help treating anxiety symptoms, you may want to seek out a therapist with advanced training in that area, such as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). 

You can also find other therapists who specialize in depression, PTSD, and social anxiety, along with many other conditions and populations. You can also seek the help of a therapist for practical problems like gaining skills to make interactions with problematic coworkers easier or improving time management skills. Therapists help you leverage your life experience to work towards meaningful change, whether you are tackling a practical problem or starting a search for inner peace. 

If you’re ready to work with a mental health professional, you may want to give online therapy a try. Online therapy, where you attend therapy sessions from home or another quiet location, is becoming increasingly popular. Online therapy removes the hassle of traveling to an office and makes it easy to find therapists to help you address your concerns. A few highly qualified mental health professionals are listed below, and it may be worth your time to give them a look and see if any are a good fit for you.

I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California. I have an MA in counseling psychology from Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (now Sofia University) in Palo Alto, CA. I practice a holistic and somatic form of psychotherapy. That means that in my work I integrate traditional focus on thoughts and feelings as well as the body and the nervous system. I have extensive training in Sensorimotor psychotherapy aimed at helping people overcome effects of developmental trauma and PTSD and develop inner resources for emotional well-being and self-regulation. I have pursued this training, because research and clinical experience show that trauma, especially early childhood trauma is often a root cause of many challenges that we all face at one time or another in our lives, including relational, family and social conflicts, depression, anxiety, addiction, mental and physical illness and many others. I specialize in working with people living with chronic and invisible illness and their caregivers. Both through my work at a hospital and county clinic settings and personal experience I am familiar with the plight of people who are disabled because of chronic illness, or are caregivers to someone living with chronic illness. Many people live with debilitating and/or gradually worsening physical symptoms caused by a variety of medical conditions that often make them unable to work full time, engage in social activities, or sometimes leave their homes or even their beds. Physical illness is often accompanied by emotional distress from living with difficult symptoms, chronic pain, fatigue, uncertainty about the future and erosion of social connections and intimate relationships. People living with these circumstances for a long time may experience gradual disappearing from society and often feel “invisible”. If that has been your experience, I am here to provide support and advocacy for your journey towards regaining your health. Additionally, as a first generation immigrant from the former Soviet Union I understand the challenges of acculturation, loss of home, and the legacy of transgenerational trauma that many first generation immigrants have to face adjusting to life in the USA, and the long lasting effects of this significant life transition. I love helping people develop resilience and discover ways to live fulfilling lives no matter their history or current circumstances. Foundation of my work is in the warmth of human connection and respect I have for my clients, their lives, experience and wisdom. I offer support and practical tools to deal with stress, overwhelm, anxiety, grief, loss, depression, anger, and difficulties with relationships. My goal is for us together to discover what what works for you and to support you in using this knowledge and any new skills you learn in the course of our work together in your life going forward.

Hi, my name is Joan Becket, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California, who has been licensed 28 years. I completed my bachelor’s degree in 1982 at Minnesota State University, Mankato, majoring in Minority & Ethnic Studies and Sociology, minoring in African-American Studies, which stems from having a heart for the inner city. I have been working in South Central Los Angeles and Compton for over 30 years in a professional capacity. I have volunteered helping the homeless through my church and have also been involved in an outreach to Commercially Sexually Exploited Children. After obtaining my B.S. degree, I worked at a group home for troubled children. After encountering one of the children’s therapists, I decided I wanted to become one also. I attended California State University, Los Angeles and obtained a master’s degree in Marriage, Family, Child Counseling in 1992. I obtained my LMFT license in 1997. I have worked for a government agency for over 32 years, overseeing complex cases for abused and neglected children, tending to their clinical needs. I also have provided clinical supervision to co-workers for 16 years, aspiring to get their license as a therapist (LCSW, LMFT or LPCC). I would describe my therapy style as informal and relaxed. I have been told that I am honest and direct, as well as compassionate and caring. I am a faith-based therapist and believe God can help us live an abundant life, if we let Him. I believe one way this may be achieved is by examining generational familial patterns, and by doing so, a person can gain insight as to how this may affect their mindset, current behavior, relationship patterns, and overall functioning. Each person’s life requires a clinical lens to examine their unique experience and how it has shaped them. (JB) Clinical approaches: My approach stems from a biblical perspective, but I utilize various theoretical orientations, such as psychodynamic, family systems therapy, structural therapy, CBT, and client centered therapy. I also interject humor, which I feel is necessary in life. We will work together to find the best approach and interventions for you. -Official Certified CBT Practitioner (cognitive behavioral therapy)
