As a licensed clinical social worker with over 13 years experience in the field, I specialize in life transition adjustments, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Maternal Mental Health, Work Stress, and managing stress using specific interventions.
Hello! I'm Lynn, a dedicated clinical social worker with a deep commitment to holistic healing and solution-focused care. With over twenty-five years of experience working with individuals, families and couples, I believe that mental health is a journey of growth and self-discovery. My practice is built on the foundation of trust, empathy, and personalized treatment approaches designed to support your unique path to wellness.
You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, overwhelmed by emotions, or unsure why certain experiences continue to affect your life. Maybe you find yourself repeating the same relationship patterns, being hard on yourself, feeling disconnected, or trying to move forward but something keeps pulling you back.
Therapy is a space to slow down, understand yourself on a deeper level, and create lasting change. Together, we will explore the roots of your struggles, reconnect with your strengths, and help you move toward greater self-trust, healing, and a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.
You’re doing your best, and yet things aren’t landing the way you hoped. You put in the effort and care deeply, but something feels off, like your intentions don’t translate into the outcomes you want. You might find yourself asking, “What am I missing?” That gap can feel frustrating, confusing, and isolating. I work with clients who often feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to show up as their full, authentic selves. Many are navigating chronic or invisible illness, neurodivergence, emotional regulation challenges, identity shifts, relationship stress, or difficulties at work or school.
I believe in creating a safe and welcoming place for people to discover themselves. I have 20 years of experience working with adults and adolescents in many different treatment settings. I specialize in issues related to addiction, but feel like I can be supportive and helpful to a wide range of people with different perspectives and challenges.
My name is Mariana Nogueira, LCSW, and I am a bilingual therapist with over a decade of experience working with individuals and families navigating trauma, grief, immigration, chronic illness, and major life transitions. I received my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento, and have extensive training in trauma-focused therapies and mindfulness-based approaches.
Over the years, I have worked in hospice care, hospital settings, cancer centers, community mental health, and with immigrant and undocumented communities. These experiences have deeply shaped my commitment to culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy.
I specialize in supporting adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, identity transitions, or who feel caught between cultures.
I am an LCSW and have been licensed since 2011. I am Patient-Centered, focused on ensuring that the interventions are supportive and effective.
I have worked with adults, children, and families with a wide range of complexities, providing communication and coping skills. I have also worked with the older adult population and persons with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in providing support so that you can have a more meaningful life.
Three ideas are at the heart of my work: You are not the problem; the problem is the problem; the problem is not yours alone to solve. Therapy with me is a space for you to explore and be affirmed in your identity, while understanding the ways you came to be and are still becoming.
Welcome! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I’m experienced in a range of therapeutic modalities and versed in individual therapy for adults & teens. I received my master's degree at California State University, Chico. I have worked in many different specialties in order to be a well-rounded therapist.
I specialize in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, and the thought patterns that keep them feeling stuck. Since 2003, I’ve used CBT informed, trauma informed, and solution focused techniques to help clients understand cognitive distortions, reframe challenges, and build practical tools for lasting change. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and centered on your goals, strengths, and the skills you already have.
As a veteran, therapist, and human being I resonate deeply with the archetype of the “wounded healer". I understand trauma and the seriousness of life's challenges not just clinically, but personally. I am assured in my professional capacity that I can provide you with the high level of care and support that you deserve.
My goal in therapy is a simple one, and that is to help people get exactly where they want to go in life. Sometimes that means working through past traumas or current stressors. It can also mean focusing on general life optimization. Whatever your goals, I strive to create a non-judgmental environment for us to dig deep and make forward progress together.
I believe healing begins with meaningful connection. My work with cancer patients and their families has deeply shaped my understanding of pain, loss, resilience, and the complexities that relationships face during times of crisis. I support adults of all ages in navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, and relationship concerns, offering both compassionate guidance and practical, effective tools for growth and healing.
