Finding Healing and Growth with Therapy in Roseville with Sierra Wagner, AMFT

Roseville Therapy

My Journey to Becoming a Therapist

Growing up in a family marked by dysfunction, much of my childhood was shaped by uncertainty, a survival mentality, and deeply ingrained negative core beliefs. Thankfully, towards the end of high school, I enrolled in a Psychology course that changed my life. As I gained insight into human behavior and mental health, my chaotic world slowly began to make sense. This passion led me to pursue a Bachelor’s in Psychology and eventually a Master’s in Counseling.

Throughout my educational journey, I experienced some of the most challenging yet transformative moments of my life. Not only did I grow professionally, but I also embarked on my own healing journey as a client in therapy. These experiences have given me clarity, healing, and an even deeper passion for helping others. Today, it is an honor to walk alongside clients as they navigate their own journeys toward health and healing.

My Approach to Therapy

I recognize that everyone faces unique challenges, and I am passionate about providing a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore and overcome life’s difficulties. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and professional expertise, meeting you where you are and empowering you to move forward. I believe in the healing power of a strong therapeutic relationship and partner with my clients to foster their growth and resilience.

Utilizing a holistic, person-centered approach, I encourage my clients to take an active role in their treatment while integrating various evidence-based modalities, including:

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Symbis (Save Your Marriage Before It Starts)
  • Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT)
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
