I enjoy continuously learning about new advances in the mental health field and stay well connected to this information and other therapists within my role as Secretary for the Sacramento Valley California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out and ask for help and I am honored to meet you in this moment and walk alongside you on your healing journey. You don't have to do this alone. I have a Masters Degree in Integral Counselling Psychology from the Institute of Integral Studies which specialized in cultivating healing at the level of mind, body and spirit.

Therapy is a healing process that allows us to trust ourselves and empowers us to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Therapy can serve as the light in darkness and can guide us with what we need to live our highest potential. I provide a warm, accepting, and safe environment to explore and learn how to navigate life's challenges. I provide an integrative and holistic approach that focuses on all aspects of one's self (emotional, behavioral, mental, spiritual). I am licensed in California with over 10 years of professional work experience in community mental health agencies, health care agencies, and school settings. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, breaking generational cycles, and confidence, & career difficulties. My therapy style and approach draws from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I believe that each individual has strengths in overcoming challenges. You do not have to walk alone. Taking the initial step to sign up for therapy takes courage. I hope to help you heal and find your inner peace.

Fertility & Reproduction Issues
Perinatal Mental Health

Many of the people I work with are navigating postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts after having a baby, or the emotional stress of fertility treatment. These experiences can feel overwhelming and isolating, even when everything looks “fine” from the outside. I’m Dr. Saira Jhutty, a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in reproductive mental health, including postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts after having a baby, and the emotional challenges of fertility treatment. I work with individuals and couples navigating infertility, pregnancy after loss, third-party reproduction, and the complex transition into parenthood. My approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with a strong focus on self-compassion and values-based living. Rather than trying to “fix” difficult emotions, we work together to understand them and find ways to move forward that feel sustainable — especially during times when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded. Many of the people I work with feel exhausted, anxious, or unlike themselves after a baby or during fertility treatment. Therapy can be a space where you slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and begin to feel more like yourself again. Whether you’re navigating postpartum anxiety or depression, identity shifts after becoming a parent, pregnancy after infertility, or the emotional weight of fertility decisions, you don’t have to carry it alone.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, and I’m passionate about helping people heal, grow, and rediscover their strength. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to go through those moments alone. My goal is to offer a safe, compassionate space where you can breathe, be yourself, and begin creating the change you want to see. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, infertility, pre- and post-partum challenges, substance use, and the unique experiences of first responders, active military, and veterans. Through my work in private practice, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and hospitals, I’ve learned that everyone’s journey is different and that healing happens when we feel truly understood and supported. In our sessions, I take a collaborative and empowering approach. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, uncover your inner strengths, and build tools to help you navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership, one that honors your story, celebrates your resilience, and helps you move toward lasting growth and balance. Whether you’re seeking relief from anxiety, healing from trauma, or simply wanting to reconnect with yourself, I’m here to walk alongside you. You deserve to feel grounded, hopeful, and at peace — and I’d be honored to support you on that path.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
