Hi, I’m Kim Burris
Founder of the Holistic Counseling Center and a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California
Our teen therapists specialize in counseling for teens and are passionate about helping teenagers navigate the stress and overwhelm of living in our world today.
We can help your teen thrive!
We offer evidence-based psychotherapy with a heart-centered approach that honors the mind, body, and spirit connection.
If you are worried about your teen and looking for support, The Holistic Counseling Center can help.
We offer teen counseling in El Dorado Hills, just minutes from Folsom and a short drive from Sacramento. Virtual counseling is also available for teens in California.
Types of Therapy We Offer:
-
Holistic Therapy
Holistic therapy is an integrative approach to therapy that combines traditional evidence-based therapy modalities with complementary and alternative healing modalities. A holistic approach to mental health helps you heal by honoring and including the mind, body, heart and spirit on your healing journey.
-
Depth Therapy
Depth Therapy involves exploring the unconscious mind in order to uncover unresolved issues, encouraging healing and personal development. Depth therapy can help you process deeply stored emotions and experiences in order to integrate your past, rather than being ruled by it.
-
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a unique approach that views the mind as composed of various parts, each with its own characteristics and roles. In IFS therapy, you’ll learn to identify and understand these parts of yourself, resulting in more peace, balance, and ultimately deep healing.
-
Somatic Therapy
Somatic Therapy is a body-based therapeutic modality that offers practical tools that work with the mind-body system to address a variety of mental health concerns, chronic nervous system dysregulation and the feeling of being stuck in survival mode. We include the body and the nervous system in therapy in order to heal thoughts, emotions, memories and trauma that live in the body.
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools and strategies to help you change your negative thought patterns and maladaptive behaviors, ultimately leading to improved emotional well-being and enhanced coping skills. CBT is the gold standard of evidence-based treatment for anxiety and depression.
-
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy is foundational to traditional talk therapy, and is focused on how your past is impacting your present. It addresses all aspects of your mental health, from your relationship satisfaction, to your self-esteem, life purpose and ways you might be self-sabotaging. Its goal is to help you access and uncover your unconscious patterns and childhood programming to help you understand how your past is impacting you, and eventually be able to change, grow and heal.
-
Spiritual Therapy
Spiritual Therapy, also known as Transpersonal Therapy, is a therapeutic approach that considers the spiritual aspects of being human when treating mental health symptoms and diagnoses. It integrates traditional talk therapy, existential exploration and metaphysical spiritual practices to help you supercharge your healing and growth.
-
Polyvagal Therapy
Polyvagal Therapy is a therapeutic approach that weaves together neuroscience and psychology to help you understand and regulate your nervous system. At the root of this work is understanding and working with the Vagus nerve to help you release stress and trauma that is stored in the body and nervous system, resulting in more freedom, peace and ease in your life, and in your relationships,
