Getting to know Dara Fremont Presley

Hi there, I'm Dara! Hello, my name is Dara Presley, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist living in Northern California, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I earned my Master's in Counseling from California State University, Sacramento. I use telehealth to work with California clients ranging in age from adolescents and young adults to 85 years old. I utilize Psychodynamic approaches, Attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and draw from several other types of therapy as needed to help clients. My approach I find it helpful for clients to understand how they got to be the way they are, take an honest look at who they are today, then decide what, if anything, they want to change moving forward. I pull from Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral, Attachment, Acceptance and Commitment, Narrative, and Dialectical Behavior theories and approaches as needed to best serve my clients. My focus Especially during the last several years, I have noticed people having a more difficult time just living life, which has brought many more people to therapy. I enjoy working with clients who are new to therapy, whatever their age. I have experience with clients struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, addiction, and those who want help with parenting practices. My communication style My communication style is informal, warm, and welcoming. Our process together is an ongoing conversation to help me understand you so I may help you the best I can. I want my clients to feel seen, heard, and understood. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist in my mid-forties. I had been a client several times since adolescence, working through traumatic experiences and learning skills to move forward. I wanted to do the same for others. The road to becoming a therapist had challenges, but it felt natural to me.
