Maureen Tyra, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Maureen!

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. My goal is to help you develop insight into yourself and use that understanding to engage more fully with the world around you.

My focus

I work with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression during life transitions. This may include starting or ending school or a job, entering or improving relationships, facing unexpected challenges, or seeking more satisfaction and fulfillment in daily life.

My approach

I use a combination of Client-Centered, Strength-Based, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tailored to your needs. Our work focuses on what matters to you and how your unique strengths can help you develop skills and coping mechanisms for life's challenges.

My communication style

My style is informal, warm, and direct. I create a safe, accepting space where you can talk about anything. I listen with empathy and without judgment, making sure you feel comfortable throughout our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been fascinated by what makes each person unique and how we grow and change. I find satisfaction in helping others develop insight into themselves and use that understanding to engage fully and successfully with the world.

My goals for you

We'll identify your goals, understand how you operate, and define clear next steps at every session. I'll help you explore life experiences and gently challenge you to be open to new ways of thinking and coping, building resilience for life's journey.

Our first session

We'll spend most of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently. I'll ask questions to understand your world and why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about building connection and helping me understand what will work best for you moving forward.
