More about Tena

16 years' experience
Female
LMFT

I am licensed in California with 16 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients (adults, teens and children including very young children birth to age 5) with trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored without fear of judgment. I will honor and embrace all of who you and will offer great respect and appreciation to all areas of identity and diversity that make you YOU.

I do not use a cookie-cutter approach to therapy. You and your situation, background and needs are completely unique to you. Together, we will figure out the path forward through the challenges and difficulties you face. All my expertise will be in service to helping you be the person and have the life and relationships you seek to experience.

Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. You got this. We got this!

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
