Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Nevada City, CA covered by Aetna

You made it, welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who came to this work with nearly a decade of crisis intervention experience - the kind of work that teaches you crisis and chaos isn't always an emergency, but often a transformation that needs space to unfold. I earned my degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology, and I've spent my career specializing in the places where high-stakes work meets human breaking points: occupational trauma, moral injury, burnout, and the complex territory of identity and transition.

I work particularly well with people in helping professions -first responders, military, healthcare workers, teachers, therapists, and LGBTQIA+ folks - anyone who's spent years being the capable one, the reliable one, the one who shows up no matter what. My training includes Brainspotting, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), and somatic approaches that work with how trauma actually lives in your body and nervous system, not just in your thoughts.

Here's what matters: I get that asking for help doesn't come naturally when you're supposed to be the strong one. I understand that the hypervigilance that once kept you safe might now be keeping you isolated. And I know that sometimes the hardest part is figuring out who you are when you're not performing competence for everyone else. You don't have to translate your experience into therapy-speak with me, and you definitely don't have to pretend you're more okay than you are.

In addition to my training and experience, I truly care about and respect my clients. It's an honor to assist them in resolving issues and challenges that block their ability to and experience joy and happiness in a troubled world. Being a therapist is not just a job for me, it is my calling.

Great to meet you! Taking the first step toward caring for your mental health can feel overwhelming, so I'm glad you're here. I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 13 years of experience helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized, and I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to reach your goals.

I’m Sahebjit “TJ” Singh, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are carrying trauma, identity confusion, emotional overwhelm, relationship pain, or the long-term effects of growing up in unstable, neglectful, or high-pressure environments.

I have over a decade of experience across crisis services, residential treatment, forensic mental health, community-based care, clinical leadership, and private practice. This background has made me comfortable working with complex trauma, emotional intensity, depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, identity struggles, cultural pressure, grief, and life transitions.

Clients working with me can expect a therapeutic experience rooted in restorative care, cultural authenticity, and deep respect for their lived story. At Cultivating A Better Me, healing is not defined solely by symptom reduction—it is a process of rebuilding inner safety, strengthening emotional resilience, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that deserve to be seen, honored, and supported.

My clinical foundation began at Sacramento Head Start, where I learned the profound impact of compassion, early intervention, and family‐centered support. With advanced training in Early Childhood Development and Counseling Psychology, I bring specialized expertise in disruptive behaviors, trauma‐responsive care, and expressive‐arts‐based healing.

Within my practice, clients are invited into a space where they can slow down, breathe, and explore their experiences without judgment. I integrate evidence‐based practices with creativity, narrative work, and culturally grounded approaches that honor identity, community, and personal agency.

Most importantly, clients should know that I show up with presence, authenticity, and a deep commitment to helping them cultivate meaningful, sustainable change. Healing is a collaborative journey—and I walk alongside you with compassion, clarity, and support.

Hello and welcome!

As a licensed clinical social worker, I truly believe that mental health is the foundation for growth and healing. It takes courage and strength to take that first step and I want to celebrate you for making it!

I mainly work with adults in individual therapy, drawing from various modalities tailored to each person's unique needs and issues. I'm also certified in EMDR, which can be really helpful for processing difficult experiences.

My goals as your therapist to help you address the factors in life —personal, familial, spiritual, academic etc.— that weigh heavy on you. Also, I'll introduce interventions that empower you to manage and strive the changes you want to make in your daily life. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with depression and anxiety.

Life is hard and naturally comes with stressors and overwhelming feelings, no matter your age. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed with your emotions, or maybe you recently experienced a difficult situation. These are very normal and natural moments that everyone will encounter at some point in their life. Just as we go to the doctors when we have aches or pains in or body, we should also see someone when we have aches or pains in our mind and soul. Valiant Mentality is about having the courage of addressing your struggles instead of ignoring them. With almost 18 years of clinical experience, I know that everyone has the capacity to heal, no matter the circumstance . Today, make that first decision towards the change you want to see and schedule your appointment with Valiant Mentality. I look forward to meeting with you.

My journey into therapy began with a deep curiosity about human resilience and the desire to help others find strength through life’s hardest challenges. During my graduate training, I had the opportunity to work with survivors of trauma. This experience showed me the powerful role therapy can play in recovery and solidified my commitment to supporting others through their healing journeys. I’m continually driven by the fundamental belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change. Seeing my clients gain confidence or find peace makes my work incredibly rewarding.

I work with adults who are managing anxiety, life transitions, and those seeking support for self-esteem issues. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable. I best serve those who are ready to unearth the uncomfortable. Those who have felt stuck and just need the tools and a safe space to connect back to themselves. Those who have a desire to intentionally sit with the things that are sticky, so that it can stop ruling their life and they can take the reins. Is this you? This work is hard. If you’re ready to face it in a safe way, I’m the person for you.
