Find a therapist in California — covered by insurance

My passion is to help others find more joy and meaning in their lives. I work creatively and collaboratively with adults, teens, and children to explore the heart of the matter. I have experience working in the schools, with a team at a counseling clinic, and in private practice. I specialize with teenagers and their families and moving into couples work as well.

Hello! I’m Tara D'Mello Kamath, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families heal and grow. Originally from India, I lived in Singapore before moving to San Diego, where I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology. I later completed my Master’s in Couples and Family Therapy at Drexel University, where I deepened my passion for social justice and healing work.Starting therapy takes courage, and I’m honored to support you on your journey. If my approach resonates with you, reach out—I’d love to connect!

Hi, I'm Carla — a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (TX) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (CA) who genuinely loves helping people find their footing when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. Whether you're going through a major life transition, feeling stuck in old patterns, or simply carrying more than you can hold right now, you don't have to figure it out alone. I create a space that's warm, judgment-free, and entirely yours — where you can slow down, be honest, and start moving forward in a way that actually feels like you.

If you're ready to take that first step, I'd love to connect.

I would love to meet with you to see how I can help you process through some of life’s most challenging experiences in a safe environment. I am a BIPOC therapist with experience with and a particular interest in treating people managing chronic illness. In addition I have a passion for treating trauma as it relates to immigrant and first-generation experiences or those who have experienced racial injustices.

I will be your biggest and loudest supporter and advocate. I use a little bit of humor, mixed in with kindness, and a whole lot of warmth to help you dig deep into your story. Together, we'll challenge the stories you tell yourself about your life, your experience, and society. I have extensive experience working with folks experiencing anxiety/depression, work burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and folks exploring their identity (all identities are absolutely welcomed here!)

Life is hard, but these days, it feels even harder. It is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed to the point of feeling stuck. This can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, guilt, and even hopelessness. You may even judge yourself for feeling stuck or struggling. My hope is to help you get unstuck, connect to yourself, and feel excited about your life.

I'm a Southern California-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist here to tell you that therapy doesn't have to be an utter drag. Think of me as your personal guide through the chaos that is life. I’m your therapist, but also your transformative guide to help uncover your authentic self. Whether your brain is running on 50 open tabs (hello, to my fellow ADHD/neurodivergence folks!) or you're navigating the beautiful complexity of your LGBTQIA+ identity, I fully embrace a "come exactly as you are" approach. No masks, no scripts, just raw authenticity.

I help teens and adults untangle the messy webs of anxiety, depression, and those oh too stressful family or relational dynamics. Therapy shouldn’t just be check boxes, that is why we will mix and match tools until we find the perfect recipe for your growth. Life is a wild ride, but you don't have to navigate the shadows alone. Let's empower your journey and find some light in the cosmic weirdness of it all.
