Psychodrama Therapists in Vallejo, CA

Tried talk therapy and you're body's still left reactive? Tried somatic (bodywork) approaches and your mind is left confused? Why choose one? Sustained healing includes the mind and body so that your body can stop being in survival mode and your mind rewired for calm. My practice merges psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and bodywork because healing should treat the "whole" you not merely parts of you. In-office or Online services available.

✨ By virtue of holding space for you to make meaning out of your experiences, intersections of identity, and personal and ancestral past, I specialize in providing Culturally Conscious, Liberation-Oriented, Neuro-affirming, Trauma-Informed, Nervous System-Centered, and social justice-aligned offerings of healing that align with your desire to unify mind, body, and spirit, healing both present and intergenerational wounds, and connecting with self, others, and surroundings.

Many people come to therapy feeling misunderstood or “othered,” even in spaces meant to support them. You may have tried therapy before and found yourself explaining your identity, culture, ambition, or creative life just to be understood. If you’ve struggled to trust that someone could truly “get it,” you’re not alone. I provide trauma-informed online therapy for founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals navigating burnout, anxiety, and chronic pressure.

If your body is still feeling uncomfortable, agitated, or activated despite years of therapy and self-work, you're in the right place. If you've already made the connection that some of your physical symptoms are probably stress related, you're well along your way. Once you've identified that, then there are ways that you can learn to work with your nervous system to start moving in a better direction. I collaborate with intelligent, caring and curious humans to help them learn how to settle their nervous systems and resolve stress-related issues they may be contending with, ranging from digestive issues to anxiety attacks, nervous tics to emotional flares. I currently have openings on Wednesdays and Thursdays: Let's schedule a free 15-minute consult to see if we're a good fit. Just go to this address: https://oncehub.com/thoughtfulintro

Compassionate, non-judgmental therapy that works! Dr. Tickner has been helping people live the life they deserve and have the relationships they want for over 25 years. His approach brings together the best from the worlds of cognitive therapy, couples counseling, individual therapy, mindfulness/meditation, somatic psychology, trauma therapy, and neuroscience.

Vallejo is a Solano County city with a complex post-industrial history shaped by the closure of Mare Island Naval Shipyard in 1996, which devastated the local economy and led to the city filing for bankruptcy in 2008, and the psychological legacy of this economic collapse, combined with high crime rates and significant racial diversity across Black, Latino, and Filipino communities, creates a mental health landscape marked by historical community trauma and resilience. The city has become significantly more affordable than the broader Bay Area, attracting a new wave of residents, and this demographic transition creates its own mental health dynamics around displacement, belonging, and community change. Solano County Behavioral Health provides public mental health services, and a private therapy sector is developing as the city's population changes. Common therapy concerns include economic trauma and community grief, racial identity, displacement anxiety, and the complex emotions of living in a city that has faced profound challenges but is working to rebuild.
