Hello Sacramento Valley CAMFT Chapter and Community! I am Suzanne Quijano LMFT, your Membership Chair, and I am happy to announce the start of our Membership Spotlight Feature. Every other month, I will continue to feature one of our many wonderful members and their connection to our chapter. This program is open to all members, so if you would like to be featured and share with others why you enjoy being a part of SVC-CAMFT, please email me at  membershipchair@svccamft.org.

Michele Villarreal is a psychotherapist and owner of her private practice, Four Seasons Counseling, based in Sacramento. She has been a member of SVC-CAMFT since 2017 while attending graduate school. She shares that what she appreciates most about our chapter is the membership participation and a board of directors that provides diverse speakers from the mental health field. As she says, “There is always something new and interesting to learn and to incorporate into my practice”

In private practice, Michele specializes in trauma informed care and life transitions. She works with individuals, children, couples, and families. She utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, art and play therapies. In addition, she offers Christian-based therapy, collaborating with clients based on their interest and needs. And now she looks forward to expanding her private practice to incorporate supervising Associate Marriage and Family Therapists, in order to give back to the mental health community. In her free time, Michele enjoys visiting High Hill Ranch in the Apple Hill region, just outside of Sacramento, where she has fond memories as a child and then as a mother taking her son to enjoy the seasonal festivities!
