Affordable Counseling Near Granite Bay

Granite Bay is an unincorporated Placer County community east of Roseville. Douglas Boulevard runs east from Roseville through Granite Bay toward Folsom Lake, and HOPE's office sits on that same boulevard at 2540 Douglas Blvd., Suite 200, in Roseville. Put simply, the road that runs through your community is the road that leads to our door.

From Granite Bay, that makes the office a short drive west. Inside are serene, comfortable and confidential counseling rooms, including one with a soft blue couch and warm light and a quieter one with a deep sofa and a desk lamp. On one desk sit a Hope flip calendar and stones engraved with the words Love and Dream.

Relationship issues are HOPE's primary specialty. Couples may look for counseling when the same argument keeps returning, when trust has been hurt, or when closeness feels harder to reach than it once did. Counseling can slow those moments down, so each partner can speak from their own experience and hear what the other is trying to say.

Several HOPE therapists work with couples. Wendy Barillas, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #133716, brings attachment-based work and a focus on attachment wounds. Eva Di Giorgio, a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #144286 supervised by a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, draws on Emotionally Focused Therapy and offers an LGBTQIA+ friendly setting.

Family counseling at HOPE makes room for blended families, LGBTQ+ families and any family that does not match a textbook picture. For younger children, play can show what is hard to put into words, and our two children's rooms are set up for it. Wendy uses play therapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, and Megan spent twenty-five years as a teacher before becoming a therapist.

Teens are welcome too. Eva works with adolescents, and Megan and Brianna work with children and families, so a parent or caregiver can start with a short note about who needs support. The details of what is happening can wait until you are talking with the therapist, rather than going into an email or voicemail.

Counseling at HOPE is collaborative and shaped around the person, couple, or family in the room. We do not begin with a preset definition of success. Instead, your therapist makes space for what matters to you, helps you identify personal goals, and works with your experiences and strengths. You can talk about what feels difficult, notice patterns, and decide together where to focus.

Our therapists bring different backgrounds and approaches to this work. Some draw from attachment-based, relational, psychodynamic, parts-informed, somatic, emotion-focused, or cognitive behavioral perspectives. Trauma-informed approaches available within the practice include EMDR, Brainspotting, and Trauma-Focused CBT. Work with children and families may also include play therapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy. The approach used depends on the therapist, the client, and the goals you discuss together.

A first step does not require having everything figured out. You can read our therapist profiles, or call or email us and we will help you find a good starting point. If you have a therapist preference, let us know. If you do not, we can help identify a good starting point based on the concern, who will attend, the way you would like to meet, and any language preference.

HOPE offers counseling in person at our Roseville office and by secure video for clients who are located in California during the session. Wendy offers counseling in English and Spanish. A therapist will contact you within 48 hours, Monday through Friday. Before beginning, you can ask questions and learn what to expect so that the next step feels clear.
