About Mara Newbart

Thank you for your interest in my practice. For over 30 years, I have been deeply honored to support children, families, and adults as they navigate life's challenges. As a compassionate and experienced therapist, I am committed to helping individuals discover meaningful pathways toward healing and growth. I integrate a diverse range of therapeutic modalities — including IFS, EMDR, mindfulness, CBT, psychodynamic approaches, and attachment theory — tailoring each approach to meet the unique needs of every person I work with. Regardless of the method, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. With each session, I bring both my expertise and a deep passion for helping others on their journey toward greater well-being.


"Trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.”

I am here for you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with  20+ years of experience providing therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, complex developmental trauma, and relationship challenges.

I am a Level 1 trained IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapist and have been practicing EMDR since 2008 — two evidence-based approaches that support deep, lasting healing rather than surface-level symptom management.

My office is located in Davis, CA, where I meet in person with clients from Davis, Woodland, Dixon, Sacramento, and surrounding areas. I also offer Telehealth therapy to clients throughout California, including the San Francisco Bay Area, Berkeley, Oakland, Marin County, Los Angeles, and San Diego.

If you are wondering whether my approach is a good fit for you, I warmly invite you to call for a brief consultation.
