Patricia Saunders

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

As a licensed therapist in California with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life’s complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and significant life transitions.

I’m particularly passionate about working with older adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, and women experiencing workplace or personal challenges. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on communication, personal growth, and healing from guilt, shame, and attachment-related struggles.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients develop robust coping strategies, explore life purpose, and manage panic disorder and caregiver stress. My therapeutic style emphasizes creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can authentically explore their experiences and build emotional resilience.

I believe in honoring each person’s unique journey and supporting them in developing meaningful, transformative insights that empower personal growth and emotional well-being.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions – remote therapy can be just as helpful as meeting in person. Research and clinical practice show that these issues are often well addressed through online care when delivered by licensed professionals.

One major benefit is convenience. People can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their life best – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to maintain consistency and access support when it is needed.

All therapists are licensed professionals, and you have the option to change therapists if you need a different fit. This flexibility helps people find the therapeutic relationship and approach that works for them while keeping care accessible and manageable alongside everyday responsibilities.
