Michael F. Thaden, LMFT
About Me
I believe we come to our most difficult passages in life at opportune times in order to grow toward our true capacity and purpose. I respect that my clients possess the seeds of awareness and expertise to find answers and solutions to their own problems. My role is to establish a compassionate interactive presence to assist in working through difficult emotions, reactive defenses, or protective habits, and open attention back to fruitful areas. I am an advocate for personal development, collaborating in finding useful vantage points for expanding visibility, encouraging resolution, and resumption of the innate growth process.
Education & Experience
I have worked as a therapist in Sacramento and the surrounding neighborhoods of Carmichael, Citrus Heights, and Fair Oaks for over thirty years in a variety of school and residential treatment settings, and have maintained a private practice since 1997.
I work with adults, couples, and families impacted by grief/loss, trauma, domestic violence, sexual abuse, chemical/co-dependency, compulsive behavior, anger/impulse control problems, and life role transitions.
