Tobias Park, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tobias!

My role is to provide evidence that your struggles make sense and that you are not going crazy. You have tools to get through each day that you don't even know you're using. These are the tools we will leverage in therapy to create meaningful change in your life. My focus is on individuals and families.

My focus

I have the most experience with teens and young adults, but I can competently work with people of any demographic. I am passionate about working with BIPOC.

My approach

My preferred modalities are CBT and DBT. I follow a client-centered approach, meaning my role is to help you address your challenges with curiosity, in a way that is in line with your values, and without shame or judgment.

My communication style

My communication style has been described as warm and nonjudgmental. My aim is to let curiosity guide the way, never shame.

My journey to mental healthcare

At my innermost essence, I believe I am a helper of people. Being a therapist is one vehicle I use to feed this essence. Helping others is how you heal yourself, and this is why I love what I do!

My goals for you

Goals are created collaboratively. Although I bring some mental health expertise, you are the expert in your life. Goals need to be rigid enough to track your progress, but flexible enough to accommodate the fluidity of life.

Our first session

The intake session entails assessment and goal-setting. Clients come in with varying degrees of readiness to disclose personal details. I will never ask you to share sensitive information before you are ready, and there is usually more than enough information to proceed with meaningful therapy upon completion of the initial session.
