What Sets Love Heal Grow Apart as a Therapy Practice

At Love Heal Grow, we believe that mental health is a vital component of overall well-being, and we are dedicated to providing a unique therapeutic experience that focuses on the complexities of human relationships and personal development. We are committed to creating a safe environment where clients feel secure, understood, and accepted throughout their therapy journey.

Our therapy center, located in Sacramento County and serving all of California, features a collaborative space where our diverse team of clinicians work together to provide holistic care. Our clinicians come from varied backgrounds and are dedicated to celebrating cultural diversity and providing inclusive mental health services. We embrace a holistic approach as part of our philosophy, integrating different therapeutic modalities to address each client’s unique needs and promote resilience and growth.

Wellness is at the core of our services, with a focus on supporting the healing of the whole self and helping clients achieve a balanced, fulfilled life. Many therapists in Sacramento, including our team, emphasize a client-centered approach, tailoring their methods to meet individual client needs. Our commitment to trauma-informed care not only addresses mental health issues but also fosters a supportive environment for healing and growth.

A Trauma-Informed Approach

Many individuals come to us with overwhelming feelings linked to their mental health concerns, often stemming from past trauma or relationship issues. Our therapists in Sacramento are specially trained to understand these complexities and are licensed professionals who offer legitimate mental health services. During your first session, you can expect a welcoming environment where we focus on understanding your unique needs, discussing your goals, and beginning to establish a collaborative treatment plan.

We prioritize creating a therapeutic relationship that is built on trust, empathy, and respect. It is important to us that every patient feels welcome, safe, and supported as they share and explore their thoughts, feelings, and issues. This foundation allows our clients to feel safe as they navigate their healing journey, explore their emotions, and confront life’s challenges.

Trauma can deeply affect self-esteem and overall mental health. Our team recognizes that addressing these underlying issues is crucial for effective therapy. As part of the assessment process, we may provide a preliminary diagnosis to help inform and guide your personalized treatment planning, while always considering the limitations and appropriate referral procedures related to diagnosis. We provide a nurturing space for our new clients, allowing them to unpack their experiences without judgment. Our Sacramento therapists are skilled at guiding individuals through the therapeutic process, ensuring that each person feels seen, heard, and supported.

Comprehensive Services for Relationship Intimacy, Anxiety & Trauma Therapy

Love Heal Grow offers a range of therapeutic services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients in Sacramento County. Evidence-based treatments widely available in Sacramento include Relational & Experiential approaches, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or coping skills development, we are here to help. Our therapists utilize a variety of evidence-based practices, including CBT and EMDR, for trauma-related symptoms and personal growth. We also provide resources to support clients’ mental health journeys.

Therapists in Sacramento offer individual therapy, couples counseling, and family counseling, providing tailored support for each client. Individual therapy offers confidential, one-on-one care focused on self-improvement and emotional understanding. Family therapy is available to help families develop stronger connections and improve communication. Our team utilizes various therapeutic modalities, such as dialectical behavior therapy, to address emotional regulation and distress tolerance. We emphasize the importance of finding the right therapist, someone who resonates with your unique needs and values. This personalized approach is instrumental in fostering effective therapeutic relationships that lead to meaningful change.

Focus on Personal Growth in Relationships

At Love Heal Grow, we see therapy as a vehicle for personal growth and transformation. We believe in addressing the whole self—emotional, mental, and physical aspects—to promote holistic healing and integration. Many clients come to us not only seeking relief from mental health issues but also a pathway toward self-discovery and empowerment so that they can improve their life and relationships. Therapy offers numerous benefits, including facilitating positive change, fostering healing, and supporting greater well-being. We encourage our clients to engage in self-reflection and explore their identities, which can significantly boost self-esteem and contribute to overall well-being.

Our therapists in Sacramento are adept at guiding clients through the process of personal development. By teaching coping strategies and resilience techniques, we equip individuals with the tools they need to manage life’s stressors and challenges effectively. This empowerment is crucial for fostering independence and promoting long-term well-being. Numerous studies have demonstrated the positive outcomes of therapy in alleviating symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and other psychological issues.

Community Connection

As a locally rooted therapy center in Sacramento County, we understand the importance of community in the healing process. Our therapists actively participate in local initiatives and workshops, fostering a sense of belonging and connection among clients. We believe that mental health is not just an individual journey but also a communal experience. This belief enhances the support network available to our clients, creating an enriching atmosphere that promotes well-being.

We recognize that access to resources is vital for supporting clients’ mental health and well-being. While our high-quality therapy center is private pay, Sacramento offers a range of community-based and low-cost mental health services, including Sacramento County Mental Health Services, which provides community wellness resources and 24/7 crisis support via 988. Residents can call or text 988 for immediate crisis intervention. Additional resources include Life Practice Counseling, offering affordable, non-profit counseling, and Empower Yolo, which provides free services for victims of domestic violence or sexual assault. Sacramento State’s Center for Counseling and Diagnostic Services (CCDS) offers low-cost community counseling through graduate students, and the Center for Counseling and Diagnostic Services provides counseling at no cost, requesting donations to sustain their work.

Our center welcomes individuals from all walks of life, ensuring that everyone feels accepted and valued. By embracing diversity and fostering inclusivity, we strive to create a supportive environment where all clients can thrive. This approach not only helps in addressing mental health concerns but also enhances the overall therapeutic experience.

Flexibility and Accessibility

Recognizing the busy lives our clients lead, we offer both in-person and online therapy sessions. Therapy in Sacramento is available in outpatient settings, private practice environments, and through Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for those who need more structured care. This flexibility ensures that our services are accessible to everyone in Sacramento County, regardless of their circumstances. Whether you prefer face-to-face interactions or the convenience of virtual sessions, we are committed to providing you with the right support at the right time.

This adaptability also helps our new clients feel more comfortable and less overwhelmed when seeking support. We understand that the journey to better mental health can be daunting, and having options can alleviate some of that pressure.

Moving Forward Together

At Love Heal Grow, we understand that every individual’s journey is unique. Whether you are an adult facing life transitions, dealing with mental health issues, past trauma, or simply seeking personal growth, we are here to walk alongside you. Our Sacramento therapists, including licensed marriage and family therapists, are committed to fostering a therapeutic relationship that encourages exploration, healing, and resilience. As counselors, we support clients through every step of their journey, offering tailored support to meet each client’s unique needs.

We believe in the power of collaboration in the therapeutic process. As our new clients embark on their healing journey, we work together to uncover patterns, identify goals, and celebrate milestones. This partnership enhances the effectiveness of therapy and fosters a sense of empowerment that is crucial for long-term well-being. Our family therapists and counselors are experienced in supporting relationships, including marriage and family dynamics, and offer couples therapy to help navigate challenges such as divorce support.

Choosing the right therapist is an important step in your mental health journey. At Love Heal Grow, we are passionate about providing a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed space where healing and growth can flourish. Our dedicated team of therapists in Sacramento County is committed to helping adults and families navigate life’s challenges, including grief, loss, and adjustment reactions to medical illnesses, while building the coping skills and resilience needed for lasting change.

Megan Negendank therapist in Sacramento

Hi, I’m Megan Negendank, LMFT, CST

We help our clients reconnect to what matters most – their relationships and values – so that they can lead a more fulfilling life.

I founded Love Heal Grow after I couldn’t find a quality therapist for my partner and myself.

I wanted a practice that made it easy for people like you to find a good therapist that meets your needs.

This work is important to me because I understand that deep, quality therapy not only changes our own lives, but the lives of everyone around us. And good therapy is hard to find.

We’ve been in business over a decade, and now we serve thousands of Californians a month.  We can’t wait to support you, too!
