Joanna Littell, MFT

Specialties

I have repeatedly observed the power of the therapeutic process in improving feelings of self-​worth, enriching the quality of one’s relationships with others, and increasing overall life satisfaction. I deeply respect the therapeutic process and the effort that it takes to show up, participate and make healthy changes. My clinical training and work experience enables me to help clients isolate core concerns, develop treatment goals, and implement appropriate therapeutic strategies to develop healthier perspectives, coping strategies and thought processes. I derive great satisfaction and excitement from helping my clients to identify their unique strengths, while also, assisting them in finding relief from their own personal obstacles.

I specialize in:

Relational Difficulties

Family Conflict

Trauma

Adjustment Challenges/​Grief

Social Skills

Anxiety and Depression

Adolescent Treatment

Pre-​Marital and Couples Counseling

Joanna L.

Business Owner

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) and a Credentialed School Counselor (PPS). I have provided counseling services for hundreds of children, teens, adults, and families.

I currently work for public schools in Davis, California as Crisis and Prevention Manager/​School Counselor. Prior to this, I was clinically trained to provide mental health services for children and teens who demonstrated severe mental health symptoms that required placement into 24-​hour residential care and non-​public school settings. I also worked collaboratively with Children’s Protective Services (CPS) and various school districts in the greater Sacramento area by providing assessment services, case management, and therapy for individual, couples, and families.

My training and work experience has enabled me to develop a pervasive understanding of mental health issues ranging from average developmental concerns to outlying issues related to personal safety.
