In-Person Individual Therapy in Santa Rosa
You're Ready for Therapy That Actually Moves You Forward
A consistent, long-term therapeutic relationship focused on meaningful change—not starting over, spinning your wheels, or simply talking about the stress of the week.
You Know Change Takes Time, and you’re ready to start the process
Offering a weekly space dedicated just for you, to work on yourself and take pause to reflect on the bigger picture of your life.
How to know if Angela Sitka, LMFT, individual therapy services are for you:
You're looking for more than a place to vent
You've done therapy that felt like a weekly update session.
You talked about the latest stressor, vented for a while, felt temporarily relieved, and then came back the next week to do it all again.
Sometimes you even found yourself thinking:
"I don't really have anything to talk about this week."
Not because life was great, but because therapy had become focused on whatever happened that week rather than the bigger patterns keeping you stuck.
You want therapy that helps you understand why you keep getting hooked into the same thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns and gives you practical ways to respond differently.
You’re ready to make this a commitment to yourself
And you don’t want to do this in a haphazard way, piecing together things you heard from podcasts, taking friend’s advice, and reading the occasional self-help books.
You want a dedicated space each week to work on yourself with a professional, build momentum, and create meaningful change.
What you really want is having a therapist who truly knows your story, your patterns, and your goals, so that each session builds on the last instead of starting from scratch.

I’m Angela Sitka, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Sonoma County with a private practice specializing in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).
ACT Therapy helps you build the skills to respond differently when difficult thoughts, emotions, and situations arise, so the changes you make in therapy actually show up in your everyday life.
I provide straightforward feedback, teach concrete skills, and guide the process so you're not left wondering what you're supposed to do in therapy through a modality called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Common Questions about Individual Weekly Therapy
-
50-minute sessions are $300. I offer options to get partial reimbursements from health insurance through a company called Thrizer.
-
After the initial intake session (which I explain in this bog post: What to expect in your first therapy session) I usually come up with a flexible structure for the appointments.
Typically, I will ask you if there is anything you want to make sure we have time to talk about or focus on, and if so, that is where we start.
Otherwise, I provide a summary review of the previous session, my impressions and thoughts, review any practice or skills you tried in the past week, and we identify the next area of focus.
For example, I might ask I client for their preference between two areas of focus, “would you prefer we focus on acceptance of feelings techniques, or unhooking from thoughts today?”
While we are learning and exploring a new technique, tool, metaphor, or area of exploration, we are identifying examples from your life and going deeper to identify how you are best equipped to apply these therapy topics into your real life.
We are constantly building on what we worked on before, but I have flexibility built into my model.
-
We will meet once a week, at the same time and day once you’re an established client of mine.
While every person’s journey is unique, my former clients who report they have fully met their therapy goals, on average, typically do so in about 25 sessions, or approximately a little under 6 months of weekly therapy.
Benefits of choosing weekly therapy:
Health insurance reimbursement will be easy to do. Health insurance companies are set up to recognize weekly 50-minute therapy sessions within their medical model of care. What does that mean for you? Better chance at getting to access your full out-of-network benefits (more money to pay for session fees) for therapy sessions.
Accountability is key for you. You want to know that someone will be tracking your progress, following up with you when you set intentions, and helps you break up big goals in smaller, easier to achieve steps week by week.
After spending your workdays in front of screens, you're craving something that feels more personal and connected than another Zoom meeting.
You get to have a dedicated space away from work, distractions, and daily responsibilities where they can focus entirely on yourself for an hour each week.
