Tina is very easy to talk to - like talking to a close trustworthy friend. I like that she is matter of fact and honest but in a kind way, and can point out things I'm not seeing.

Welcome to learning a little bit more about me.
I attended undergraduate school at UCLA in Communication Studies and graduate school at Pepperdine University in Malibu California.
I have been licensed for over 30 years and love helping people through life's challenges. I know how difficult it can be and you give your self a gift
to reach out and seek help.
I have worked with many different problems including self esteem issues, anxiety, depression and loneliness. I have helped people through divorce and child custody issues. I have 10 years of expertise working with seniors, 10 years of expertise working with children and families and 10 years of expertise working with young adults with Autism. I have worked in a Psychiatric facility and worked with dual diagnosis clients. I have a lot of experience with addiction.
I believe we can find solutions.
Thank you for taking time to take care of yourself, it's important.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Tina is very easy to talk to - like talking to a close trustworthy friend. I like that she is matter of fact and honest but in a kind way, and can point out things I'm not seeing.
I’ve only spoken with Tina once, as I’m new to this. I reached out through Focus on the Family and Tina contacted me within an hour or so from the time I submitted my profile. She took extra time that day to talk to me. She asked questions and let me share. She followed up with a text that was such a sweet surprise. I liked that. She also gave me a couple suggestions which I’ve been implementing since our phone conversation. Hopeful.
Tina is the best! She genuinely cares about me and is always there for me!
Excellent match to my needs… very much enjoy her and trust her umplicitly
Tina is a very compassionate counselor and listens well! I would highly recommend her for any type of therapy.
Tina is wonderful! She has years of experience and seems to be able to assist in navigating many difficult things. She is very kind and grounded.
Tina is amazing! Definitely a great match for me. It was great to hear about her experience in the field and how many different areas during our first call. I would definitely recommend Tina, she is kind, understanding and real about what you bring to each session. I really enjoyed the over the phone meetings, no pressure of video, or driving to an appt, but could be comfortable and relaxed in my own space.
Tina has been so wonderful to work with! She’s generous with her time, super responsive and very well versed in many different mental health topics. I’m so thankful for our connection and that I finally found a therapist like Tina!
I was very thankful for Tina Phillips. She was caring and knew exactly what I needed when I asked for cognitive behavioral therapy. I now have the tools to help me make mindful choices when in tough situations.
She is a caring and compassion counselor, who seems to be very knowledgeable.
