Greetings! My name is Tania McLean-Nicholas and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist in California. I have been in the helping field for over 16 years. However, I can remember as early as 7 years old giving counsel and guidance to my friends who would find themselves in disputes over toys and dolls. I would share the pain and sorrow of those who were hurting, always wanting to help or make things better. I have experience working with adults, couples, children and adolescents. My practice focuses on utilizing solution focused, cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems theories and a variety of various treatment modalities that best suit the needs of the client. My calm, compassionate approach creates an environment of safety and acceptance for the client.
I also have over 11 years experience working with Foster and Adoptive children and their families. I am passionate about helping people work through issues of attachment, loss and trauma. Finally, I am passionate about having a balanced lifestyle. A balanced lifestyle is the corner stone of our well-being, and includes our physical, mental, emotional, social, financial and spiritual health.
In life, individuals and families will experience difficult and challenging events that lead to, frustration, sadness and grief. These emotions if not managed properly, could interfere with one's ability to manage their personal and professional lives, leaving one feeling unmotivated, defeated or hopeless. My desire is to help clients discover a "Renewed Hope" for their situations.
Additional areas of focus: Grief, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, ADHD

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tania McLean-Nicholas. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I was paired with Tania after seeking online help with a relationship issue that was causing immense stress in my life. Having never participated in online therapy before, I was a little skeptical it would be as helpful as in-person therapy, but once matched with Tania, I have to say it has been better! She has completely exceeded my expectations. She is a very compassionate listener and provides insightful advice and new ways of looking at situations that have been incredibly helpful. With her encouragement and counseling, I have been able to take steps towards healing and reducing my anxiety. I feel very grateful that I have been matched with her and would highly recommend her counseling services!

Ms. McLean-Nicholas and I have only met twice and I must say she has helped me view life experiences from a different perspective. She has given me insights that have helped me reshape my thought process. I appreciate it's not just me complaining for an hour but honest dialog. She listens. She provides insights. She recommends things for me to do outside of our sessions to enhance our time together. I feel I might have found a true and meaningful road too emotional healing
