Psychotherapy for Female Helping Professionals in California
Lower anxiety. Process trauma. Experience joy.
Services offered in person in my cozy minimalist Chico, California office or virtual sessions anywhere in California to support female helping professionals be less anxious & self-critical and enjoy their day to day more fully.
You don’t feel good enough, do you?
You try desperately to fall asleep, but instead find yourself replaying your day:
“Did I do enough? Did I say too much?”
You finally fall asleep but wake up in the middle of the night.
You wake feeling tired and groggy, dreading the day.
You ARE successful but you don't feel it.
Friends and family notice your accomplishments and say nice things, but you think they're lying, that they have to say those things.
You sometimes feel like a fraud, an imposter, and worry what others think of you and if they'll find out “the truth.”
If this sounds like you, you’re in the right place!
I’m Sarah Sanders, a licensed psychotherapist in Chico, California specializing in women’s issues.
I empower female helping professionals with anxiety to find peace and enjoyment in the day to day by teaching them how to tune into their mind and body and learn healthy coping skills.
Through strength-based, trauma-informed individual therapy sessions, I help women process past trauma and teach them highly effective coping skills to decrease stress levels and improve self-worth.
Imagine a life where you’re enjoying your day, especially the little things; like the tart yet sweet flavor of your iced tea with a slice of lemon. And, when your head melts into your pillow after a full day, you feel good about your day, heck, not just good, but proud! You didn’t even have to check anything off your to-do list. You feel peace that you were your authentic self.
This IS possible. This can be your life!
Let’s work together and do this! If you want to learn more about how therapy with me works, head here.
I’ll be with you every step of the way. Encouraging you and teaching you specific coping skills to implement today.
You deserve more, a lot more.
Today is the day to silence that anxious critical voice, start sleeping better, and wake up feeling confident.
Are You Curious What Exactly Makes Me And My Practice Different?
I get it, finding a therapist is HARD. And finding a therapist who is a great fit is even harder! Research supports that the biggest predictor of success in therapy is the client and therapist’s relationship. That’s right, what matters most is not the kind of therapy (like CBT) the therapist uses or another factor like the therapist’s amount of years in the field. (In case you’re wondering, I’ve been a therapist for 14 years).
Finding a good fit between client and therapist is literally everything.
This is the number one reason why I offer free consults for potential clients. I want you to find your best therapist match.
I fully understand that therapy requires resources - time, energy, and finances.
So, you definitely want to invest in the right fit for you.
Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all. Or, at least it’s not in my therapy practice.
Here are a few key aspects of me and my therapy practice that make it unique.
-
Saturday Appointments
I know the week days are super busy! With work and all the appointments, it can be really difficult to fit one more appointment in. So, I offer appointments on Saturday where you can have less chaos, ample parking, and roll in right on time in yoga pants with coffee in hand. I actually love working Saturdays because it’s such a chill environment compared to the rest of the week!
-
Longer (or Shorter) Sessions
Usually therapy is 45-50 minutes. In my practice, I offer 55 and 90 minute sessions, two hour sessions, and three hour sessions to really dive into a topic. You can learn about 3 hour EMDR therapy intensives here. Because I see tween and teen girls, I also offer 30 minute sessions since children don’t always require a full hour. My priority is finding what works best for your needs and unique situation.

Concierge Billing
I take care of insurance billing for you! I am not in network with any insurance companies so I’m considered “out of network” for insurance billing. Most therapists who allow out of network billing will give you a statement called a superbill. I offer concierge billing where I send the form to your insurance company so you don’t have to deal with any paperwork. My clients tell me this is a huge benefit in working with me.

Make Yourself At Home
In my office I prioritize calm in all aspects. When entering my office, you’re greeted by the relaxing sound of a real fountain, low lights, soft chairs and pillows, a Keurig to enjoy a warm drink, and soothing room décor. I also offer soft blankets, pillows, an ultra cozy and weighted sloth stuffy, and fidgets. You’re welcome to bring in a drink or snack. Relax and make yourself at home!
