Tanyna Sosa-Williams, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tanyna!

I go with Tee, and I am an LCSW. I grew up as an undocumented Afro-Latina and now strive to serve BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and families.

My focus

If you are a client who identifies as LGBTQIA and BIPOC and is struggling through life transitions and trauma, I am here to help you work through it.

My approach

My style of therapy works towards recognizing and honoring an individual's uniqueness. I then form a tailored approach which may include CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, strength-based practices, motivational interviewing, holistic approaches, and other working modalities.

My communication style

In my sessions, I strive to cultivate a Calm tone, a quiet space, and goal-oriented sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up as an undocumented Afrolatina in Inglewood, there were often folx (including myself) who needed guidance and support. I decided to become that person.

My goals for you

Inclusion of motivational interviewing and coaching.
