Tomiko Tsuha-McNiel, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tomiko!

I work with adults and primarily focus on treating issues dealing with anxiety, stress, self-esteem, communication, life transitions, career challenges, relationship problems, and grief and loss. I enjoy working with my clients using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Problem-Solving Therapy.

My focus

I support adults working through anxiety, stress, self-esteem issues, communication difficulties, life transitions, career challenges, relationship problems, and grief. I build collaborative relationships where you feel heard and supported.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Problem Solving Therapy to help you gain understanding and find resolution to the challenges you're facing. Together, we'll work toward peace and meaningful change.

My communication style

My style is warm, caring, and compassionate. I create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can openly discuss your concerns and feel safe exploring what's on your mind.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I genuinely enjoy connecting with people and supporting them through difficult times. Helping individuals work toward resolution and growth is deeply rewarding to me.

My goals for you

As we conclude our initial session, my approach to goal setting with clients is to have a discussion to gain clarity on the outcome they wish to see during their time in therapy. As we develop the therapeutic trusting relationship, we will be addressing your issues and monitoring your progress.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll have a conversation to orient you to virtual therapy and help me understand your needs. I'll ask about your background, then give you space to share what brings you here so I can meet you where you are.
