Teda Cohran, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Teda!

Welcome. I believe we all have the ability to restore balance and heal with the right support. Healing is a step-by-step journey, and choosing to begin therapy is one of the most powerful first steps you can take. My passion is helping clients reconnect to their authentic self to restore balance, peace, and emotional well-being.

My focus

I support adults who are open to a holistic, integrative approach and are seeking emotional healing, balance, and a deeper reconnection to their authentic self. I work with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, feelings of overwhelm, or spiritually stuck, and help to make meaningful lasting changes.

My approach

My approach is practical and hands-on. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and spiritually-based practices, we will work together to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, while gaining clarity and balance. You will be supported and encouraged to grow at your own pace in a safe, nonjudgmental environment.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, attentive, and client-centered. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. I use active and reflective listening to ensure I’m truly understanding your experience, and I respond with empathy and compassion.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began with a desire to help others heal and find inner peace. Through personal and professional experiences, I’ve seen how emotional and spiritual balance can transform lives. Becoming a provider has been a deeply meaningful path, and it’s a privilege to support others in their growth and emotional wellness.

My goals for you

I will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and spiritual-based practices, as we work together to identify and set meaningful goals. I will also help you identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts. Encouragement, active feedback, and compassion will be used to support you in achieving your goals.

Our first session

Your first session with me is warm, welcoming, and focused on getting to know you. We’ll discuss your goals, concerns, and what brought you to therapy. I’ll explain my approach, answer questions, and work with you to create a safe, supportive space to begin your healing journey.
