Therapists serving clients in Diamond Bar, CA

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over six years of experience. I have worked with clients on a wide range of concerns related to depression, anxiety and overall functioning in daily life. I have also spent a considerable amount of my career in the area of co-parenting which has included parents who are together and parents in high conflict separation. My approach is cognitive behavioral as it is my hope that I can provide clients with the tools to draw upon in the midst of future life challenges. I also feel that it is important to address the root of the problem in order to facilitate a more complete healing and understanding of the maladaptive patterns in life. As a provider for Better Help, it is my hope that traditional treatment barriers are decreased in order allow you to heal. I would love to help you in that process.

Hello, I am a psychotherapist with 25 years of experience practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area. With a BA in English Literature and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, I move comfortably between live talk therapy and online written mediums. I have worked with adolescents, adults and the elderly in residential and private practice settings. I am struck by the unique challenges we all face as we transition from one developmental stage of life to the next. My early work as a suicide prevention hotline counselor and grief therapist/supervisor has laid the foundation for my enduring interest in how to move through depression, loss and bereavement. I am particularly attuned to feelings of shame, low self-esteem, and relational conflict which may affect our productivity and may lead to feelings of despondency or anxiety. As a therapist, I am an intuitive listener and an active observer as I encourage clients to become more open and curious about what they are feeling. Together, we explore experiences that may be difficult to put into words, that may feel conflicted or shrouded by pain. As issues become clearer, we might explore how our thoughts influence our choices and behaviors. We may find that even small shifts can have a positive impact on feelings of well-being. I realize that it may not be easy to reach out to a therapist for help. You've taken the first step and I look forward to meeting you as you begin this journey for yourself.

Life can be hard. We think we should have the tools and skills to cope with every life struggle and challenge, but some are just too much to bear alone. I have worked over 15 years in supporting others with their life challenges or concerns as a counselor and a MFT therapist. My beginning sessions focus on helping you get to know me and help us decide if we are a good match for therapy. Getting to know one another is helpful so you feel more comfortable sharing details of your concerns. I believe that everyone is doing the best they can to live their life, using the choices and opportunities available to them. As a result, my therapy style is very down-to-earth, non-judgmental, casual, and humor is used too. I believe that we make choices that work for our own lives and there is no perfect solution that works for everyone. With this belief, I choose to support you in exploring what solutions will work for YOUR life. My sessions focus on the here-and-now, but I acknowledge the past does affect our present life. While I have knowledge of and occasionally use other theories , my favorites are Client- Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution- Focus Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Humanistic Therapy. I prefer individual therapy sessions. I also request you view my schedule before choosing me as your therapist. Usually I am available for sessions Monday , Wednesday, and Friday. Typically I am available 3:00-6:00 with a few breaks in between. My session hours may vary during holiday breaks. I am available during the week for messaging and ask to allow 24 hours to respond. Feel free to contact me to learn more or ask questions to help you choose a therapist for support with your concerns. Kindly, Tami

I am a humanistic psychologist. I use an approach that emphasizes an individual's strengths and skills in a wholistic way to address issues that are distressing and limiting in a client's life. I help clients toward self actualization, the ability to better understand self and others, feel confident and secure in their abilities, understand their motivations and personality, address external stressors, and develop personal insight and a life philosophy that guides their decision making and problem solving. I encourage self awareness and mindfulness to help clients respond consciously to events as they unfold, and to remain true to their worldview and values, while negotiating difficult circumstances in this chaotic world. Many of us did not have parenting that taught us conscious healthy boundaries, understanding of self and others, or secure trusting attachment, but these can be learned and amended through therapy. The term "earned security" is a psychology term that denotes an individual who remediates traumatic events, including: childhood trauma, adult trauma, and relationship trauma, and strengthens their core self concept to include greater self esteem, and a strong comfortable attachment system (post traumatic growth). ​ I know this because my experience in self development included all these, as well as a new understanding of self compassion, self acceptance, patience and a process of differentiation of self that allows for both autonomy and deep caring attachment simultaneously. I offer this knowledge in a non judgmental and wellness based framework. I draw from both professional experience and evidence based scientific research. I love to work with people from all walks of life, all ages, and diverse world views and focus on the human commonalities we share, as well as understanding a client's individual and specific experiences, needs, challenges and goals. I am inclusive, and supportive, patient and caring and passionate about helping others.
