Pritam Babrah
Welcome and thank you for visiting my profile. Prior to scheduling our initial intake appointment, I suggest we have brief discussion over the phone, at no cost, regarding your past experiences in therapy and current goals for therapy.
I have over 30 years of experience working with people of various backgrounds and cultures.
My Clinical experience includes Private Practice, Elk Grove, CA from April 1992 to June 2013 as a Marriage Family Therapist, and Licensed Clinical Psychologist from July 2013 to present. In 1996 I received my master's degree in Art Therapy. In 1998 & 1999 I studied and was certified by the founder of EMDR. I specialize in working with adults with trauma, Anxiety, and Depression. I am only seeing individuals at this time.
First session
Once we have had a brief introductory discussion over the phone and you have completed all the Intake Forms through Grow, for our initial session we will review your intake paperwork and answer any questions. We will discuss your current situation and relevant past history. We will work together to determine your top ten goals for therapy. You will be asked questions regarding your medical and mental health, as well as family history. The frequency of your sessions will be based on your individual assessment and needs.
