Tameka Coleman, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tameka!

I specialize in working with individuals feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, mood swings, anger, addiction, unresolved trauma, or patterns of unhealthy relationships. You may find yourself stuck in cycles that no longer serve you—emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward.

My focus

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, mood swings, anger, addiction, unresolved trauma, and unhealthy relationship patterns. My focus is on helping you break these patterns and build something more stable and fulfilling while equipping you with practical tools for insight, healing, and long-term change.

My approach

I draw from evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches to explore relational dynamics, and Narrative Therapy to help you re-author your story.

My communication style

I create a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and safe, especially when sharing difficult or vulnerable truths. I bring a calm, grounded presence and balance warmth with honest, compassionate feedback. I'm skilled at identifying emotional and relational patterns and helping you make meaningful shifts without feeling rushed or judged.

My journey to mental healthcare

I understand that asking for help can feel intimidating and deeply vulnerable. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you in connecting the dots between your past and present while building skills to move forward with clarity and confidence.

My goals for you

Everyone enters therapy with specific strengths, and I will do my best to help bring them out.

Our first session

My focus is on creating a safe, welcoming space where you can feel heard without pressure or judgment. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy, what's been feeling heavy or stuck, and what you're hoping to get out of our work together. We'll move at your pace.
