Affordable Counseling Near Rocklin

Rocklin is a Placer County city that borders Roseville to the northeast, and HOPE's office is in Roseville, on Douglas Boulevard. Because the two cities are neighbors, coming in person is a short drive rather than a long trip. That closeness can make regular in-person counseling feel more manageable, especially when the rest of your life is already full.

Secure video is available as well. If you will be physically located in California during each session, you can meet with a HOPE therapist from home or another private place in Rocklin. Some people value the separation of a counseling room outside the house, while others prefer the familiarity of their own space, and either choice is welcome here.

Rocklin is home to Sierra College's Rocklin campus. If you take classes there, you may be balancing coursework with a job, family, a relationship or a new stage of life, and stress, anxiety or low mood can make all of it feel heavier. Counseling offers a place to slow down and sort through what you are carrying, at a pace that fits you.

You can reach out on your own, and individual counseling at HOPE begins with your goals rather than a preset plan. Among our therapists, Hanna Kunhart, a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee supervised by Wendy Barillas, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #133716, focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, communication difficulties and life transitions. Megan Sullivan, also a trainee under Wendy's supervision, works with personal growth and crises of meaning or purpose.

HOPE is not only for students. Couples in Rocklin can work on communication, recurring conflict or trust, and families can bring the strains that affect everyone at home. Children and teens are welcome too, and the office includes two children's rooms set up for play and connection.

Wendy Barillas, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #133716, is HOPE's Executive Director and clinical supervisor. She works alongside three registered associates and three marriage and family therapist trainees, and every associate and trainee is supervised by a licensed clinician. Each profile explains that person's title, focus areas and approach, so you can begin with real information.

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.
