Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
I am a mother, a healer, an ally, a CrossFitter, Jewish-American, CIS-gendered, queer woman. I am exposed to both privilege and marginalization and although I do not have shared experiences with all intersectionalities, I offer an unconditional curiosity that allows for a safe and transformative space. I am direct, compassionate, relational, ethical non-monogomy/poly-friendly, trauma-informed, BIPOC allied, sex worker friendly, LGBTQIA2S+ allied, and spiritual... just a flavor of what you will get with me.

Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe therapy is most healing when it feels like an authentic relationship—one where curiosity, honesty, and courage can coexist. My role is to help you slow down enough to hear yourself, challenge you to notice old patterns that no longer serve you, and offer the scaffolding to create space for new ways of relating to yourself and others. I work collaboratively, with a balance of compassion and directness, to help you gain clarity about your needs and build a greater sense of agency in your life. Together, we work toward a kind of transformation that feels both deeply personal and sustainably real. Reach out to schedule a free 20 minute consultation call to see if we are a good fit for your therapy needs.

Salinas is the county seat of Monterey County and the birthplace of John Steinbeck, a city with a majority Latino population deeply rooted in the agricultural economy of the Salinas Valley, and a mental health landscape shaped by the significant challenges of agricultural labor, immigration stress, gang violence in some neighborhoods, and limited access to culturally and linguistically appropriate care. Spanish-language therapy is essential here, and the demand for bilingual practitioners who understand the specific stressors of farmworker and immigrant community life significantly outpaces supply. Natividad Medical Center, a county-run hospital, provides some behavioral health services, and community health organizations supplement what is a relatively limited private therapy sector. Common therapy concerns include trauma, family separation stress, anxiety, depression, and the intergenerational challenges faced by a community navigating the intersection of a demanding agricultural economy and evolving cultural identity.
