Our Specialties

At Inspired Life Counseling, we specialize in:
  • EMDR Therapy for trauma, PTSD, and overwhelming experiences
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples who feel disconnected or stuck in the same arguments
  • Therapy for Teens navigating anxiety, identity, school stress, friendships, and family changes
  • Support for Life Transitions such as divorce, career changes, health issues, or becoming a caregiver

​Many of our clients are adult survivors of childhood trauma, complicated grief, or what we call “death by a thousand cuts”—years of small hurts that add up.
What to Expect


Your first few sessions are about:
  • Getting to know your story, strengths, and struggles
  • Clarifying your goals and what “better” looks like for you
  • Building safety, coping tools, and a sense of collaboration
  • Matching you with the therapist who fits your needs and schedule
  • Allies for the LGBTQIA communities and therapists who have experience living as a minority in communities.

From there, we move at your pace—not a one-size-fits-all timeline.
EMDR therapy helps you heal from trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming experiences by activating the brain’s natural ability to process and release emotional pain. At Inspired Life Counseling, our EMDR-trained therapists provide a safe, structured approach that helps you feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control of your life. If you’re ready to move past what’s been holding you back, we’re here to help.

More than English:

We provide Filipino/Tagalog language therapy for clients who feel more supported speaking in Tagalog. If cultural context matters to you, we hold space for your experiences — family expectations, immigrant stories, identity, and belonging — in a language you understand deeply.
Nagbibigay kami ng Filipino/Tagalog language therapy para sa mga kliyenteng nakakaramdam ng mas suporta sa pagsasalita sa Tagalog. Kung mahalaga sa iyo ang kontekstong kultural, binibigyan namin ng espasyo ang iyong mga karanasan — mga inaasahan ng pamilya, mga kwento ng mga imigrante, pagkakakilanlan, at pagiging kabilang — sa isang wikang lubos mong naiintindihan.
We are proud to offer therapy in Russian, provided by a Russian-speaking therapist who understands cultural values, emotional expression, and communication differences. You can schedule sessions in person in Redding or through secure telehealth anywhere in California.
​Мы с гордостью предлагаем терапию на русском языке, которую проводит русскоязычный терапевт, понимающий культурные ценности, особенности выражения эмоций и коммуникации.
