Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My name is Dr. Art Magana, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Sacramento California. I have been working in the field of mental-health for over thirty years and have been licensed since 2002. I believe I have a strong foundation in the field of psychology, benefiting from training at the University of California, Antioch University, and at the School of Professional Psychology in San Francisco. I have balanced this background with early doctoral work at The Institute for Integral studies in San Francisco as well as years of training and workshops which allow me to consider myself as a multi-modal therapist, drawing upon various schools of thought which inform my worldview and understanding of human nature. I have worked in the field of child protection, Early Child Development and Infant Toddler Mental Health, Foster Care and Adoption, inpatient psychiatric, as well as years as a social worker and a supervisor for social service programs. I have been on staff at numerous counseling centers over the years and worked with a broad range of clients and their presenting problems and needs. I have practiced at the Institute for Bi Polar Spectrum Disorders in Folsom California .This background has given me a unique experience and perspective to look at the whole person beyond the confines of the patient therapist interaction. My approach as a psychologist includes genuine respect for all my clients and a desire to help them. I try to hear beyond their words to take in the person’s emotional reality , their strength, and their sense of trust and safety as they move forward. I feel that humor has an important place in the healing and growing process. The research backs me up. I am a father, a husband, a teacher and a Latino therapist. I’m comfortable working in conversational Spanish however my writing skills…well not so much. Thank you for taking a moment to tell you about myself. Now it’s your turn! I hope we have the opportunity to work together.

Many people wonder whether virtual sessions can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person care.
One of the main advantages is flexibility – clients can choose the format that fits their life, whether that means video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change.
All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they seek a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides a convenient, effective way to address everyday mental health concerns while fitting treatment into a busy life.
