Tessa Cosand, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tessa!

As a therapist, I provide mental health and substance use treatment to help you navigate challenges and work toward meaningful change.

My focus

I have provided mental health services to children, young adults, and adults. I have extensive experience working with young adults and adults addressing substance use.

My approach

During therapy sessions, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy.

My communication style

I use a strength-based approach. My goal in sessions is to provide a supportive and encouraging environment and to help you increase autonomy, confidence, and problem-solving skills.

My journey to mental healthcare

I want to help you learn how to better your relationships, be able to have greater emotional regulation, and have a sense of fulfillment and direction.

My goals for you

Treatment plans are tailored to meet your specific and individual needs. Treatment goals are reviewed during therapy sessions.

Our first session

During initial therapy sessions, I answer your questions about the therapy process and discuss your preferences and needs.
