Tamara Daniel, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tamara!

I work with adolescents, foster youth, parents, and adults who have experienced ADHD, depression, anxiety, and other life stressors.

My focus

As a community mental health therapist, I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse population from various walks of life. This has allowed me to remain open to any client. My typical caseload included those experiencing depression, anxiety, psychosis, and childhood trauma, to name a few.

My approach

I am experienced in trauma-focused therapy, CBT, Solution-Focused and Narrative. Although I have experience in these and other approaches, the goal is to meet the clients where they are. Life is hard, so my desire is to work with you to develop and enhance the skills needed to navigate and manage life without being consumed.

My communication style

The focus is always for my clients to feel they are heard and in a safe place to express themselves without judgment. I will provide a warm, calm, and inviting environment as we begin to address those challenges faced.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have had a lot of loss in my life, and the one I turned to supported me through the healing process, helping me understand that there is a great life beyond death, divorce, etc. I want to do the same for others. Life is challenging BUT manageable, and once managed, you change, grow, and flourish into a beautiful force to be reckoned with.

My goals for you

The client has ownership of the therapy process. My job is to collaborate with the client to assist in identifying specific time-bound goals that fit the needs identified.

Our first session

My first session begins with rapport building to get to know you, followed by questions about what brings you to counseling, presenting problems, and background information. The purpose is to assess and formulate a plan to assist in achieving identified therapeutic goals. I promise to honor your pace and won't pry too much.
