I've built my career working in adult medicine, with a deep focus on addiction and medication assisted treatment. Anxiety and depression are areas where I find this work especially rewarding. Regardless of what brings you here, I come to every session with genuine curiosity and a commitment to building real rapport. I see clients virtually, and I keep afternoon and evening hours on weekdays so scheduling can work around your life. Strong patient retention has always been a hallmark of how I practice, and I look forward to building that same kind of relationship with you.
I'm an open minded individual and welcome any topics in treatment
I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are professionals who appear successful and capable on the outside but privately feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck.
I also work extensively with men and husbands who have spent years believing they should be able to handle life's challenges on their own.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 25 years in engineering and organizational leadership. That experience gives me an appreciation for the pressures of work, relationships, family responsibilities, and the challenge of balancing competing demands while trying to keep everything together.
Great to meet you! I am Tammy D. Moijueh, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am pleased to serve with the best of my expertise and commitment to your well-being, offering training in outpatient psychiatry, ambulatory care, and telemedicine. My goal is to make communications easy, insightful, and encouraging. My Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, combined with over 10 years of experience in the field, enhances behavioral health training and promotes the most positive treatment outcomes.
Introduction
I primarily use a cognitive behavioral approach. My focus area of practice is helping clients improve their lives and find meaningful change.
My communication style
My sessions are calm, collegial, interactive, respectful, directive, and helpful.
How I help clients reach goals
Change does not necessarily take a long time. We're 'shooting for the moon' right away. What's the worst that could happen?
My journey to becoming a provider
Helping others help themselves is an absolute privilege! I'd pay them to do this work (but please don't tell them that.) How did I get here? It's a long story. I originally went to college to be a journalist, but changed to broadcasting. Dumb. I needed to jumpstart my life, so I changed to this profession. Talk about purpose and meaning!

I'm a therapist based in the Coachella Valley with a broad scope. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children navigating some of life's most difficult terrain: trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression, substance use and addiction, family conflict, grief, anger, and the particular pressures that come with being a man in a culture that rarely teaches men how to ask for help.
I offer both in-person sessions in the valley and telehealth appointments throughout California. My approach is direct but never harsh, structured but never rigid. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, I meet you where you actually are.
