About Me

Hi, I’m Michele Villarreal, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and owner of Four Seasons Counseling in Sacramento, CA. I provide both in person and telehealth services. I specialize in EMDR therapy for adults navigating trauma, narcissistic and emotional abuse, attachment wounds, anxiety, and difficult relationship patterns.

Many of my clients appear strong and high-functioning on the outside while internally struggling with self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, hypervigilance, or feeling disconnected from themselves after painful relationships or childhood experiences. I help clients understand how these experiences impact the nervous system, self-worth, and relationships — and how healing is possible.

My approach to EMDR is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I integrate attachment-focused and CBT to help clients process painful experiences, reduce emotional triggers, and build a stronger sense of confidence, clarity, and emotional security.

I also offer Catholic and Christian-informed therapy for clients who would like faith integrated into the healing process.
