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.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and PhD with 25 years experience working with adults, children and youth. My goal is to help you in your path towards feeling better, and experiencing an improved sense of confidence, self-esteem and functioning in your life. My specialties include adoption issues, LGBTQ issues and women's issues. I also specialize in depression, anxiety, elderly issues, disability, and stress reduction.
Hello and welcome! I'm Omude, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who is deeply committed to creating a space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported, no matter what you're navigating. I specialize in working with trauma, OCD, depression, and anxiety, and I bring an evidence-based, individualized approach to every person I work with. My biggest belief is that real healing happens through collaboration, trust, and empowerment, and I'm here to walk that journey alongside you.
My name is Will. I have been practicing as a therapist since 2013. I am a father to three sons and have lived in the Bay Area since 2006. I'm an avid woodworker amongst many hobbies and love to get my hands dirty.
My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. I believe healing begins through connection, and I strive to build a therapeutic relationship that helps you better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, and create lasting change.
My experience spans crisis intervention, individual counseling, and a variety of therapeutic settings, giving me a broad foundation to draw from. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I meet each client where they are and tailor therapy to their unique needs, goals, and strengths.

Your goals are most important to me, but I do recommend goals when needed. I accept you just as you are. I will work together with you to achieve an improved quality of life. I have over 30 years experience working in mental health counseling, and 10 1/2 years as a licensed provider. In that time, I have learned to use a variety of modalities. I tailor the type of therapy to my client and to his/her needs, so I might introduce more than one type during our work together. The issues I work with most include depression, anxiety, and trauma, I am also certified in addiction recovery, and neurodivergent issues.
I have a passion for coming alongside others and believe it's part of my DNA as a human being. I'm a mom, a Veteran, been married/divorced and I love my job! I specialize in trauma.. the big "T's" and the little ones. I have experience working with sexual assault, complex PTSD, moral injury, addictions, and grief.
Welcome to my practice. I have a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and I am a licensed psychologist in the state of California. I have many years of experience working with a variety of clients including: children, veterans, hospital inpatients and outpatients, mental health clinics, and individuals in private practice. My orientation is cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) and I received my year-long training and became a consultant at the Atlanta Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I also believe that trust is a central part of therapy and it is my responsibility to earn your trust. It is incredibly important that I have an accurate understanding of you, your situation and any problems you may be facing currently. I will rely on your guidance to ensure my understanding of you is accurate.
Do you ever feel a heaviness in the background of your life, even if you’re not exactly sure where it’s coming from? Maybe certain patterns or challenges keep repeating, no matter how much effort you put into moving forward, and you’re beginning to wonder what’s underneath it all. In our work together, we’ll explore those experiences with curiosity and care. I’ll be there to support you in deepening your self-awareness, uncovering what’s holding you back, and making meaningful changes that align with who you are and what you want.
I believe each person deserves a space to be seen and valued for their authentic self. As a bilingual (Spanish), bicultural, first-generation Latina born and raised in Boyle Heights, my worldview is deeply shaped by the resilience of marginalized communities, the weight of generational survival, and the intricate dance of navigating multiple cultures. As the daughter of Salvadorian immigrants who fled conflict in the 80s in search of a better life, I understand firsthand the invisible loads, systemic complexities, and profound courage it takes to build a path forward.
