Tyana Tavakol, AMFT

My clients describe me as:

A kind challenger. Sessions are a mix of holding compassionate space for the difficult feelings and challenging old patterns of belief and behavior.

Something to know about my approach is:

I emphasize working holistically. This means understanding the individual, the individual in relationship, where impacts from childhood show up, and how life's pains and burdens are surfacing in troublesome thinking patterns and somatic responses.

Together, we will:

Foster insight into how your past is affecting the present, create compassion and room for feeling difficult emotions, and add communication, emotional regulation, and relationship skills to your life toolbelt.

I specialize in working with people who:

are in the BIPOC community and people with childhood trauma. I have a passion for helping people break generational patterns and trauma and start a new legacy for themselves and their future. We aim to break the grip of their past from their present.

I became a therapist because:

Before my own therapy, I was an unfulfilled tech industry professional. After I found my authentic self, it became my passion to bring that to others.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

The location is private and gorgeous. Each room feels like a cozy sanctuary and helps provide a calm space for the sessions.
