Tara Tobin, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tara!

I go by Rhiannon and use a person-centered approach, inviting you to share what feels most comfortable and beneficial for your therapy experience. You can guide our focus each session, or if you prefer, I'm ready to use my intuition to lead and guide the therapeutic process.

My focus

I typically work with clients to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I started out working primarily with children, teens, and families, and more recently, I have focused more on working with teens, young adults, adults, and couples.

My approach

I use a combination of CBT, Solution-Focused therapy, and person-centered techniques. I also incorporate mindfulness and positive psychology to support your growth and well-being.

My communication style

I strive to create a comfortable, welcoming, and informative experience. My hope is to support clients in feeling like they can share any thoughts/concerns/wants they have so that I can better assist them with obtaining the help they are looking for.

My journey to mental healthcare

Therapy offers relief and space to talk about what's unique to your life and what you're struggling with. My interest in art and self-expression led me to combine therapy with creative approaches, and recognizing how challenging life can be drives my commitment to support others.

My goals for you

I ask whether you like setting goals or prefer a different approach. We'll work collaboratively to explore any general or specific goals you'd like to create.

Our first session

I like to learn about your thoughts and experiences with therapy so we can create a good fit. I support you in identifying what you want from our sessions. You can talk about what brought you here, have me lead with questions, or discuss whatever is showing up for you that day.
