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 multi-state licensed therapist across California, Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas, specializing in helping adults navigate deep-seated mental health challenges alongside intense personal and professional transitions.
With vast clinical experience, I have served as a university career counselor, a specialist for healthcare professionals, and a dedicated clinician within both the US Navy Family Advocacy Program and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
My practice provides a highly supportive, practical space for college students, working adults at all career stages, healthcare workers, service members, Veterans, and the LGBTQIA+ community.
I blend empathetic listening with deep clinical insight to help you manage and heal from:
Core Mental Health & Neurodivergence:
Anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and identity exploration.
Trauma & Life Impact:
Complex trauma, PTSD, grief, loss, and managing chronic medical conditions.
Daily Survival:
Severe career burnout, relationship problems, and navigating life's overlapping pressures.
My passion lies in working with clients who need assistance with personal empowerment and identity development. My goal is to instill hope by identifying areas of strength, resilience, and capacity for positive change. Effective therapy takes effort and commitment from both the therapist and the client.
I work with individuals and families across the spectrum, as well as professionals navigating major life transitions. As a Psychology Professor and Senior Lecturer, I provide a high-level clinical space for those who feel "stuck" in their current narrative. Whether you are exploring your identity, navigating a career shift, or seeking LGBTQ+ affirming care, my ideal clients are those ready to build a life that feels authentic, sustainable, and truly yours.
I am a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist actively working in the field since 2019. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from San Jose State University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Palo Alto University. I work with a wide range of Clients and diagnoses dealing with topics around coping with life changes, anxiety/stress, depression, mood, relationships, sex, trauma, anger, and harm (to name a few).

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Modesto
Searching for therapists in Modesto starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. As you compare Modesto therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with your specific needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they work, what kinds of concerns they support, and whether their style seems like a fit.
In a mid-sized city like Modesto, your options may include therapists with local offices as well as California-licensed therapists who offer virtual sessions. In-person care may fit if you prefer meeting near home, work, or familiar areas of the city. Virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule, transportation, or location makes office visits harder to plan. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book.
Therapy in Modesto can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare therapists who take insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and see who is accepting new clients. You can browse profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
