The Whole Soul is a counseling agency located in Fair Oaks, California—a quaint community within the Sacramento region. Our therapists provide individualized counseling to folks of all ages, and take a holistic approach to therapy. We create a warm, inviting space for all clients to feel comfortable in working through unhealed wounds and other aspects of their lives in order to live authentically and feel connected to themselves, their loved ones, and their communities. The Whole Soul Counseling believes that all individuals, provided with the support and care they need, along with their own willingness and courage, can heal and grow and flourish in life. We are an inclusive agency that works with clients of all ages, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, religions, neurodiversities, and socioeconomic statuses. We provide individual and family counseling, along with group counseling. The Whole Soul believes strongly in the healing power of connection and compassion throughout our journeys.

Lauren Mahakian, LCSW (she/her)

Director, Therapist

I believe in the incredible power of resiliency within each of us. All of us experience pain and hardships throughout our lives; some of which are easier to work through than others. I feel that with the right supports in place, we can all heal our deepest wounds.

Marcos Lumbang, APCC (he/him)

Associate Mental Health Therapist (Associate Professional Clinical Counselor)

My background as a therapist is informed by my culture, education, work, and personal experiences.

Jacqueline Caoile, Ph.D (she/her)

Clinical Psychologist

I enjoy working with adults of all ages and backgrounds seeking support and help for depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and life transitions. When faced with challenges and changes in life, we tend to rely on old coping strategies that no longer work.

Ragini Lal (she/her)

Counseling Student Intern

My personal journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of the importance of a safe and loving space, to be seen and understood, and how much that connection and support can bring valuable growth.

Sheyonna Carter, ASW (she/her)

Associate Mental Health Therapist

Life has a way of giving us more than we feel like we can handle, especially in adulthood. We tend to struggle not only with our past traumas from childhood, but we can also struggle with our current traumas within adulthood.

Joe Miranda (he/him)

Administrative Coordinator

Please allow me to assist with all of your intake questions. I am passionate about assisting those who need guidance through the process of finding the care that fits their needs.
