Who We are

Why Choose ACA?

We help clients find their authentic selves by providing therapeutic services rendered by authentic, human therapists. We want to help you live a healthier life – a life where you are productive, purposeful, and passionate.  Often the ups and downs of life make these things seem elusive or even unattainable.  This situation can be compounded by a common tendency to resist asking for help – thinking we should be strong or not be a burden on anyone.  And so, we may suffer, bravely or otherwise, much longer than we need to. Maybe it is time to make an investment in yourself    After you take a look around this site, feel free to give us a call at  (916) 838-0926  or send us an email with any questions you might have. Whether you’re ready to make an appointment or just need some more information, for now, we’re happy to talk with you and see how we can help.
