Finding and embracing your authentic self is a journey that can be challenging. Figuring out how to cope in a healthy way with what the world throws at us can be difficult. I'm interested in working with you to figure out how you want your life and experiences to be, and how to start making your way there. I've been practicing for over 5 years, working mainly with LGBTQ+ young adults and adults struggling with anxiety, gender, and interpersonal communication issues.
Let me help you with anxiety, depression, grief recovery, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, addictive/co-dependence issues, self esteem, and other serious life issues. I hold an MA Degree in marriage, family and child counseling. I conducted my LMFT practicum at Loma Linda Behavioral Medical Center.
I graduated from Fresno Pacific University-Biblical Seminary in 2014 and obtained my license as a LMFT in 2018. My experience has been working with children, adolescents, families (4 years) and adults (11.5 Years). I have 11.5 years' experience with co-occurring disorders to include severe mental illness and trauma. I have utilized but not limited to the following evidence practices and modalities -ACT, Strength-Base, Family psychoeducation, DBT, CBT, and person centered. I am currently expanding my education/training in Internal Family Systems.
Welcome! I have been providing therapy since 2022. I have extensive experience working with foster youth, youth, and adults who have experienced trauma, and the effects of anxiety and depression. Sometimes life can be impossibly hard or painful, but it can get better- I've seen it happen.
I’m Dr. Denise Moore, LCSW, a therapist with more than 20 years of experience walking alongside children, teens, and adults on their healing journey. I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from CSU Sacramento and completed my Doctor of Social Work at Loma Linda University. I’ve been licensed for over 18 years and have devoted my career to trauma-informed, relationship-centered care.
My practice, Root to Rise Therapy and Wellness, is built on the belief that when we understand the roots of our patterns, we can rise into healthier, more authentic ways of relating. I help clients explore attachment wounds, communication struggles, dating and relationship challenges, breakups, and self-esteem concerns. Together, we look at how early experiences shape your current relationships and sense of self, and we work toward confidence, clarity, and deeper connection.
I offer a warm, grounded, and supportive space for anyone seeking to heal old patterns, strengthen self-worth, and build relationships that feel secure, honest, and aligned.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (88866) and certified in MDMA-assisted therapy, integrative somatic trauma therapy, Ketamine-assisted therapy, emotional freedom technique, and Reiki (master level). I have trained extensively in somatic-based approaches, trauma-informed care, IFS, and addiction and eating disorder treatment.
I strive to support people in accessing their deepest levels of self and a richer connection with the world by identifying and healing the core of symptomology.
My name is Joey Ritkes (he/him). I have been working as a mental health therapist for over five years. My practice has primarily been specialized in working with LGBTQ+ youth. However, I have worked with couples, families, emerging adults, and adults from all backgrounds. I am a client-centered therapist who enjoys working collaboratively with my clients to meet their goals.
Hello! My name is Dr. David Hobby and I'm a board-certified Marriage and Family Therapist. I attended CIIS and graduated from Sierra University. I specialize in trauma, relationship issues, and emotional processing and I'm happy to help you today with any of your healthcare concerns.
There is so much growing that we do in our teens & young adulthood (and our adulthood too!), whether we want to or not. I know how overwhelming it can be, especially with so many factors at play (culture, trauma, world events, etc). As your therapist, I’m here to support you through all this.
I am someone who:
- Works with BIPOC, children of immigrants, LGBTQ+, & neurodivergent teens folx, & those who are grieving
- Is trauma informed, & community/justice oriented
- Knows how the systems at play affect us daily & at a deeper unconscious level
- Creates a safe space for you to explore the parts of your life that may feel too difficult to hold on your own
If you want any of the following, then I am the therapist for you:
- Work through your relationships, life events, &/or grief using talk therapy & body-centered approaches
- Process life events, ideas, feelings with thought provoking questions
- Support in navigating relationships & your inner world in any capacity
I am a dedicated clinician with 10+years of experience working in mental health services. Therapy is the first step in your journey of self exploration and change.
