As the owner and director of Sequoia Counseling, Andrea is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #130217) and Clinical Hypnotherapist with extensive training in trauma, emotional regulation, and integrative therapeutic approaches. She provides therapy in person and online in Fair Oaks, CA.

Andrea approaches therapy from an integrative mind-body-spirit perspective, recognizing the connection between emotional experiences, the nervous system, thought patterns, relationships, energy, and the ways past experiences can continue to influence the present. She is trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Brainspotting, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/Tapping), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), clinical hypnotherapy, and Ego State/parts-based approaches.

Rather than relying on a single therapeutic method, she integrates approaches based on each client's individual needs, experiences, and treatment goals. Her work may incorporate mindfulness, emotion regulation, somatic awareness, nervous-system regulation, energy-based practices, and exploration of conscious and subconscious patterns.

Andrea's clinical background is deeply rooted in trauma, PTSD, and complex emotional regulation — with a clear understanding of how unresolved pain, coping behaviors, and relational patterns shape one another. She works from a Polyvagal-informed lens with every client, attending to the nervous system's role in how we feel safe, connect with others, and move through the world. This foundation informs her compassionate, non-judgmental approach to supporting clients through meaningful change.

For clients interested in exploring spirituality as part of therapy, Andrea's work can extend beyond traditional psychotherapy into questions of meaning, purpose, energy, higher consciousness, and our deeper connection to ourselves, others, and the world around us. She is also expanding her advanced clinical education into the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted therapies through training at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco.

Maybe everything looks fine from the outside, and that's exactly the problem. Most of the people Tyler works with come to him because they feel stuck in some way. Some are new to therapy, and many have already tried — yet understanding their patterns still hasn't been enough to change them. Tyler's background in inpatient and correctional behavioral and mental health has made him a therapist who does not flinch: nothing is too dark, too scary, or too taboo to talk about.

Tyler's work centers on the pull between who you learned to be in order to belong and who you actually are at your core. The parts of yourself that cause you the most discomfort are not character flaws; they are signals pointing toward change. Tyler's work starts with fostering self-compassion, because that is what actually makes change possible. He works with shame, complex trauma, queer and trans clients, neurodiverse populations, depression, and life transitions.

Tyler is warm and honest with his clients, including when honesty means naming something difficult to hear. The goal isn't to simply manage your symptoms or perform a steadier version of yourself. It's lasting change in who you get to be.

Clinically, Tyler draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (Greenberg), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Brainspotting, Parts-Work, and psychodynamic approaches — integrating them around what each person actually needs rather than working from a single method.

Rebecca believes healing begins with understanding ourselves. Therapy offers an opportunity to explore the experiences, beliefs, and patterns that shape who we are with curiosity rather than judgment, creating space for greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and meaningful growth.

Her goal is to build a genuine, collaborative relationship where you feel safe to be yourself and explore your experiences openly. She enjoys supporting individuals from a variety of backgrounds as they navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, identity exploration, and the many other challenges that can arise throughout life.

Rebecca's approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic principles while remaining flexible to each client's needs. Whether you're reaching out during a difficult season or considering therapy for the first time, she hopes you'll find a space where you feel welcomed, understood, and genuinely cared for.

Does it feel like there is a profound disconnect between the stable life you present to the world and how lonely you feel internally? On the outside, it looks like you have everything completely under control. Inside, you are quietly struggling to feel genuinely connected to yourself and others.

You may cycle through digital distractions, overworking, or emotional withdrawal just to manage difficult emotions and get through the day — and find yourself caught in repetitive patterns that leave you feeling disconnected and your relationships strained.

Sabrina has worked with diverse populations across community mental health, residential treatment, and nonprofit program management. These experiences have shaped her understanding of the complex ways individual, relational, cultural, and systemic factors influence our mental health and well-being.

Together, you will gently dismantle the armor that keeps you disconnected so you can stop simply surviving and begin building a more integrated, genuinely connected life. Sabrina's approach is compassionate and supportive, while also inviting honest reflection, accountability, and meaningful change.

Through my professional journey I have approached therapy helping individuals heal their inner child, in which that younger self may have faced difficult situations, hardships, and trauma that have hindered them from reaching their best possible self as they grow in life as an adult. I also have a deep passion for supporting new and expecting mothers through the postpartum period — a time that can bring unexpected emotional challenges alongside the joy of new life.

Clinically, I focus on Trauma Informed Based Therapy, including inner child work, pulling from other modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). You are important, you are not broken, and you do deserve to be proud of yourself.
