Hello, I’m Cathy Pollard. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Sacramento, CA. Specifically Roseville, CA and Fair Oaks, CA. I specialize in helping: couples, adults, teens and families who are struggling with: anxiety, depression, trauma, infidelity, relationships including couples, coparents and families.

My passion is supporting clients in overcoming grief and loss, rebuilding trust and intimacy between partners and developing healthier communication patterns.

I use research-based approaches such as Gottman Method, EFT, EMDR, mindfulness-based therapy and trauma informed care. These methods help clients improve communication, rebuild  and strengthen relationships, heal from trauma, overcome grief and loss.

Additionally, therapy is tailored to each client’s needs, whether that’s structured couples work, practical coping skills, a Christian world view approach or exploring deeper emotional wounds.

Therapy Provided:

• Couples seeking improved communication, conflict resolution, rebuilding trust after betrayal as well as preparing for marriage with premarital counseling.
• Individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions
• Families looking for parenting support, teen counseling, and blended family challenges
• Faith-based integration (Christian Therapist) and support for those going through breast cancer

My Master Degree was earned from California Southern University.

Training includes:  Gottman Method Level 2, Sex therapy, EMDR, Grief work, Somatic Grief work, Trauma, Attachment, Premarital, Co-parenting, Discernment, Depression and Anxiety, Family Therapy and Life transitions.

Later in life I became a therapist, but have known since I was in high school that this is what I wanted to do. In fact, going through many life experiences has given me the unique ability to understand where my clients come from. I have a deep desire to help individuals and couples work through the things that could be potentially holding them back from living a fulfilling life.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, being outdoors, kayaking, gardening, and reading.

“It’s been a great experience! I have been coming in here for almost 2 years and it’s been so great and helpful for me and my life. I would totally recommend it.”
