Couples therapists in Arcata, CA

I’m a warm, direct, and down-to-earth therapist with over seven years of clinical experience. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood and comfortable being yourself. I have a deep connection to the Jewish community and a particular interest in helping people navigate faith, culture, and identity, while welcoming clients from all backgrounds. My goal is to meet you where you are and create a space where you can be honest, supported, and heard.

You may have held doubts about talk therapy and perhaps are thinking therapy may not work at all for what you are dealing with. Psychotherapy like all science is continually changing. Both new and long held approaches to well-being are vast. I invite you to consider Brainspotting before you rule out therapy entirely. My role as a Brainspotting clinician is to offer you support, as you discover your innate capacity for positive self change. I specialize in trauma focused therapy, specializing in treating anxiety disorders. I focus on various forms of addiction, OCD, behavioral issues, depression, bi-polar and mood disorders.

I am a masters level trained Brainspotting clinician and a U.S. Army veteran. I believe in facilitating change in a supportive environment, following and observing your amazing capacity to heal from trauma in your therapeutic work. I work with veterans, first-responders, and other populations struggling with unresolved trauma and anxiety disorders.

Your unique circumstances are to be understood, honored respected and explored in a judgement free, supportive and caring environment. The issues that you bring into therapy remain entirely up to you. I will listen to your wants and needs; joining you on the journey towards your desired sense of well-being.

I am an LCSW who offers practical strengths-based therapy with CBT and DBT tools that actually fit your life. I am here to meet you where you are, build a genuine connection, and support growth that lasts.

You’re smart, self-aware, and successful in many areas of life—but relationships are where you struggle.

I help clients who feel stuck in toxic or unfulfilling relationships rebuild their self-trust, break free from people-pleasing, and develop healthy boundaries—so they can start creating relationships that feel emotionally safe, respectful, and real.

Are you questioning yourself constantly, second-guessing your needs, feeling anxious when you speak up, and guilty when you say no? You may have done the inner work—but you still find yourself repeating the same patterns in love. I'm passionate about helping my clients build more fulfilling relationships.

Hi, I'm Tandrea Thysell, a California-based Marriage & Family Therapist. I've been providing therapy for most of my life (I think I was born to do this!), but professionally for more than 10 years.
