More about me

Licensing: MA, LMFT, PPS Years in Practice: 13 State: California

Hello and Welcome.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in the state of California. I graduated from the University of Southern California with my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and Pupil Personnel Service Credential. During my studies I began working in the counseling field as a Behaviorist with children ages 0-3 with Developmental Delays. I had the opportunity to collaborate with Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Marriage and Family Therapists, and the Regional Center. In 2009 I transitioned my career to work with children, teenagers, and families dealing with a range of challenges; during this time I was able to work with Psychiatrists, Social Workers, Case Managers, and School Districts. I have experience working with a variety of concerns including parental support with children diagnosed with a Developmental Delay, Depression, Anxiety, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (children and families who had experience sexual, physical, and domestic abuse), crisis interventions, and ADHD.

In my work with client's I typically utilize a Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral and Existential approach, meaning I will meet the client where he or she feels comfortable and safe, while assisting client's in understanding how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are related and also challenging client's to live and act authentically in their lives. I am honored and passionate to be a part of someone’s personal life experience(s), as our problems and feelings are unique to each individual. I like to approach my sessions as a team, assisting each individual in feeling free from judgment, criticism, and pain.

It takes courage and motivation to reach out for additional support and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

I really appreciate the way Tinia helps me process my thoughts and emotions. I was skeptical about therapy after my first session with a different therapist who was not a good match for me. But after my first session with Tinia, I felt heard and validated. She lets me speak freely and will ask thought-provoking questions that help me process my thoughts and emotions in a way that's conducive to my long term goals for myself and for my relationships.

Tinia has been an absolute blessing in my life. I was terrified coming to therapy because I had had a few horror stories with previous therapists but Tinia really takes the time to get to know you before she even offers advice. She listens to your goals and uses every session to get you there. She’s very attentive and approachable so you feel confident sharing your honest thoughts in every situation which is important. If you get the chance to work with her, I promise you won’t regret it.

Tonia is an excellent therapist who really knows how to balance both comforting and thought based approaches and when I need a push to take action. I like that she is diverse in her thought processes and that she is willing to try different things I may need to help me better understand how to approach and work on things.

Tinia cares! She listens, remembers our last sessions even down to the names I speak of and provides feedback that helps me weekly. She had guided me as we explore my past with the goal of becoming more self aware. Tinia will call back and attempt different ways of contacting if we have been disconnected for any reason. I feel like Tinia is in my corner and rooting for me!
