Welcome! My name is Jalena Rusaw. I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist in CA, OR, and NV. I work with individuals, couples, teens, and families experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, hoarding, parenting concerns, co-parenting, panic attacks, school issues, relationship issues, family communication, conflict management, parent/teen conflict, and anger management. I also have interest and experience working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault survivors and the family members who support them. I currently only provide services via telehealth.
My theoretical orientation draws on cognitive behavioral theories and a psychoanalytic approach, allowing me to create the right blend of past and current focus, and help you make progress with your concerns. I am a certified administrator for Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and a Prepare/Enrich facilitator and trained in Trauma Focused Therapy. Court Involved therapy trained.
I was born and raised in West Sacramento, CA and witnessed many levels of mental health concerns throughout my life journey. Which was my motivation for starting Horizon Family and Community Services (HFCS). HFCS offers sliding scale services provided by our Associate Therapists and accepts medi-cal and a variety of commercial plans. In addition, I had the goal of providing a safe place for families to visit with their children if they were ordered by the court to have supervised visitation.
We are growing our center and thank you for considering and trusting us with helping you through your journey.
