Dr. Sarah-Rae Andreski is a licensed clinical psychologist providing secure telehealth therapy to adults throughout California. Her practice specializes in trauma, PTSD, operational and occupational stress, anxiety, depression, serious injury, grief, and the psychological effects of high-responsibility careers and difficult life experiences.
WHAT CAN THERAPY HELP WITH?
You do not need to know exactly what kind of therapy you need before reaching out. Treatment begins by understanding what you are experiencing, how it is affecting your life, and what you want to change.
Find the Right Place to Start
TRAUMA & PTSD
Treatment for traumatic experiences and persistent symptoms including intrusive memories, avoidance, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, nightmares, guilt, anger, and changes in mood or behavior.
Operational & Occupational Stress
Therapy for the cumulative psychological demands of careers that require repeated exposure to crisis, danger, responsibility, traumatic events, or sustained high-pressure environments.
Anxiety
Evidence-based treatment for chronic worry, fear, panic, hyperarousal, overthinking, physical symptoms of anxiety, and difficulty feeling safe or able to switch off.
Depression
Therapy for persistent sadness, loss of interest, low motivation, isolation, hopelessness, emotional exhaustion, and depression related to trauma or major life changes.
Serious Injury & Medical Trauma
Psychological support following catastrophic injury, medical emergencies, chronic pain, major procedures, disability, or other experiences that significantly alter daily life.
Grief, Loss & Difficult Transitions
Support for navigating bereavement, significant loss, retirement, career changes, relationship transitions, changes in identity, and unexpected chapters of life.
Evidence-Based Trauma Treatment, Personalized to You
Effective trauma therapy is not simply talking about difficult experiences week after week. Treatment should have a purpose. Dr. Andreski develops an individualized treatment plan based on your history, symptoms, goals, readiness, and clinical needs. Depending on what is appropriate, treatment may incorporate established evidence-based approaches used in the treatment of trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and related concerns.
COGNITIVE PROCESSING THERAPY (CPT)
A structured trauma treatment that helps identify and challenge beliefs that may develop after traumatic experiences, including beliefs involving safety, trust, control, guilt, esteem, and intimacy.
PROLONGED EXPOSURE THERAPY (PE)
An evidence-based PTSD treatment designed to gradually reduce trauma-related avoidance and help individuals safely process memories, situations, and reminders associated with traumatic experiences.
EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION AND PROCESSING (EMDR)
A trauma-focused psychotherapy designed to help the brain process distressing memories and reduce the emotional intensity associated with traumatic experiences.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT)
A structured approach that examines connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and develops practical strategies for changing patterns that contribute to psychological distress.
ACCEPTANCE & COMMITMENT THERAPY (ACT)
An approach that helps individuals develop greater psychological flexibility, respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, and move toward actions consistent with their values.
SKILLS BASED & BEHAVIORAL APPROACHES
Treatment may also incorporate practical strategies for emotional regulation, coping, behavioral change, stress management, and improving daily functioning.
FAITH BASED THERAPY
Integrating Spirituality Into Treatment (Optional)
For clients who wish to include faith as part of their healing journey, Dr. Andreski offers faith-based therapy upon request. Sessions may incorporate prayer, spiritial reflection, or scriptural principles alongside evidence-based modalities, honoring both psychological and spiritual dimensions of recovery.
