What We Treat

Our team works with West Sacramento adults, teens, and young adults dealing with a wide range of concerns. Here is what we see most often, and where we have particular depth.

Anxiety is one of our core specialties. We work with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, and the kind of high-functioning anxiety that looks fine from the outside but feels relentless on the inside. We do not just teach coping skills. We work to understand what is driving the anxiety and help you change your relationship with it.

Trauma therapy at Thrive is trauma-informed throughout, not just in name. We use approaches including brainspotting and somatic therapy for complex trauma, PTSD, and childhood experiences that continue to affect how you move through the world.

Childhood emotional neglect (CEN) is a specialty that sets us apart. CEN describes the wound of not having your emotional needs met as a child, not through abuse, but through emotional absence. Many adults carry this without realizing it has a name.

Therapy for highly sensitive people (HSPs) is another area where we have deep expertise. HSPs process the world more intensely, and they need a therapist who understands that as a trait to work with, not a problem to eliminate.

LGBTQ+ affirming therapy for queer, trans, and gender-expansive clients near West Sacramento. Our team brings both clinical training and real understanding to LGBTQ+ mental health.

Teen therapy for West Sacramento teens dealing with anxiety, identity, school pressure, depression, or family conflict. In person at our Sacramento office or online across California.

Young adult therapy for clients in their late teens through early 30s navigating the particular challenges of that life stage.

Grief counseling for loss of all kinds. We work with clients grieving a death, a relationship, a friendship, a version of their life they thought they were going to have.

Depression therapy including the flat, going-through-the-motions kind that does not always look like what people expect depression to look like.

Online Therapy Available for West Sacramento Clients

All of our services are available online for California residents. Many West Sacramento clients choose online therapy because it removes the commute entirely and makes weekly sessions far easier to protect in a busy schedule. Online therapy is equally effective as in-person for most concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma.
