Helen Tavetian, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Helen!

Seeking treatment is a brave and powerful moment in one’s journey with mental health. I am honored to support her clients moving through life's challenges by providing an understanding space to be vulnerable and curious about ourselves and our world.

My focus

I am trained extensively in treating OCD and anxiety disorders. I also have experience working with eating disorders, relationship and family issues, and general life transitions.

My approach

I lead with a client-centered approach. I understand that every client's experience is unique and strive to show up for each client in ways that make them feel seen and understood.

My communication style

I strive to create clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist was largely inspired by my own impactful experiences with therapy. I found help and growth through seeking treatment and learned how powerful providing space for others to move through their experiences and emotions could be.
