Stonebridge Counseling

                                                 Welcome to the Next Step in Changing Your Life

Our Philosophy

Stonebridge operates from a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and LGBTQ+-affirming stance — safe, seen, and supported, without judgment. We pay close attention to the nervous system: what a client’s body is telling us, not just what’s easiest to name. Behavior and symptoms make more sense as adaptive strategies than as problems to eliminate, and real change tends to follow attunement and presence more than any single technique. We draw from multiple therapeutic approaches because our clients aren’t uniform — your care is built around your history and your goals, not a fixed protocol.

From Our Founder:

Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here.

 

My name is Dania Martinez-Heng, and I’m the founder of Stonebridge Counseling. Stonebridge was created from a deep belief that healing happens best when people feel safe, seen, and supported, without judgment and without pressure.

 

As a therapist, business owner, wife, and a mom in a beautifully blended family with little ones running around, I understand how complex life can be. I also know how hard it can be to pause, take a breath, and say, “I need support.” That step alone takes courage.

 

Stonebridge is more than a counseling practice. It’s a community. We are a group of compassionate, highly trained therapists who believe therapy should feel human — not clinical or intimidating. We meet you where you are, move at your pace, and work collaboratively to help you find clarity, relief, and growth.

 

We also believe deeply in training and inspiring therapists. Many of our clinicians are mentored, supported, and continuously learning so they can show up grounded, confident, and present for the people they serve. When therapists are supported, clients receive better care — and that matters to us.

 

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, relationships, parenting, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to do it alone. We are honored to walk alongside you. Thank you for trusting us with your story.

 

With warmth,

 

Dania Martinez-Heng, Founder & LMFT #103041

Your Voice Matters. Hear What Our Community Has to Say!

"I had the opportunity to meet the owner and one of the lead therapists at Stonebridge Counseling and was super impressed with both their professionalism and their heart to serve their community. I strongly recommend Stonebridge Counseling!"

Nicole Brewer, Sacramento

“I can’t say enough good things about the team at Stonebridge. They helped me navigate one of the hardest seasons of my life with kindness and clarity. The environment is welcoming and peaceful—it feels like a safe place to heal.”

Lizbeth Holguin, Chico

"Our teen with autism has struggled with anxiety and depression, due to bullying at school. Stonebridge has been a steady, calming presence. Their experience with teens shows, and we’ve seen real progress."

Evelyn McElrath, Chico

"I worked with a therapist out of Stonebridge Counseling for three years. When my insurance changed they allowed me to continue seeing me therapist pro bono because of the work we were doing together. It was much appreciated, if they did not cover those sessions I would have been a mess at the time."

Amber Larson, Chico

"Professional, organized, and deeply caring. Stonebridge isn’t just a therapy office—it’s a place where real healing happens."

Abraham Garay, Chico

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do people go to therapy?

People come to therapy for many reasons — anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or simply wanting support through a hard season. You don’t need a crisis to benefit from it.

What types of therapy do you offer?

We offer individuals, couples, kids, families, and group therapy in person at our both our Chico and Sacramento locations, and virtually throughout California. Our clinicians have many diverse skills and focuses of training to meet your individual needs, including providing trauma focused, EMDR, brainspotting, PCIT, somatic, IFS, and perinatal focused therapy as well as other modalities.

What happens in a first session?

Your first session is mostly about getting to know each other — your history, what’s bringing you in, and what you’re hoping for. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out.

Do you provide virtual sessions?

Yes, we do!

Where are your offices located?

We have offices in Chico and Sacramento and offer virtual therapy options throughout California.

Our Chico office is located at 1359 Lassen Avenue, Chico, CA 95973.

Our Sacramento office is located at 1321 Howe Ave, Unit 113, Sacramento, CA 95825.

Are sessions confidential?

Yes, with the standard legal exceptions around safety (risk of harm to self or others, and mandated reporting). Your therapist will walk you through this in your first session.

Do you take insurance? How do I pay?

Stonebridge Counseling is dedicated to making mental health services accessible to a wide range of clients. We accept cash-pay clients and are proud to be the only counseling center in Butte County that accepts Partnership Healthplan of California. Additionally, we work with various insurance providers, including MHN Managed Health Network, Anthem Blue Cross, Health Net, United Healthcare, and some Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans (please call for details). We also accommodate clients with out-of-network PPO insurance plans, ensuring flexible options for those seeking our support.

Do we offer a "sliding scale" payment option?

We do not offer this at this time. We do, however, have cash payment options as well as payment plans.

How much do sessions cost?

Intake sessions (your first session) cost $170. Each appointment after that costs $160.
