Tatyana Peterson, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tatyana!

I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and loss. My approach centers on supporting your self-efficacy and focusing on growth and responsibility as you move forward.

My focus

I'm a good fit for adults who have lived through pain, abandonment, and betrayal and are looking for a safe, compassionate place to heal. When adversities bring anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and confusion, it can feel like you're alone. Therapy is a place to discover you don't have to walk alone.

My approach

I use Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused therapy together to enhance your motivation for change by concentrating on finding solutions in the present and exploring hope for the future. Every situation is a unique opportunity to make a positive change in your life.

My communication style

I communicate compassion, healing, and hope in a calm, supportive, and encouraging environment. My goal is to ensure that every session brings you a sense of hope and accomplishment.

My journey to mental healthcare

Serving others and providing a safe environment has always been my passion. I'm drawn to those who are vulnerable and hurting, and I'm fully committed to making a difference by promoting hope in the lives of those impacted by pain and trauma.

My goals for you

I treat every situation as separate and unique, allowing us to develop specific and individualized goals. Goal setting starts during our initial conversation and is continually revisited throughout treatment, applying SMART principles to ensure your goals are met and you feel satisfied.

Our first session

During our initial session, I'd like to spend time developing a therapeutic environment by discussing your concerns, issues, and goals. I provide a non-judgmental, compassionate, and supportive space where motivation to change is drawn out from you. You can count on me to support you as you take steps toward desired changes.
