Hi my name is Tire Ufodike! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. With over 10 years of experience working with children in various capacities, I have developed an understanding of their unique needs and challenges. I have had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, and families in navigating a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relational issues. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based therapeutic techniques, helping clients foster growth, resilience, and lasting positive change.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My clients can expect a collaborative process where we build a strong rapport and work together to set meaningful goals and achieve lasting progress. I am committed to empowering each client to gain greater self-awareness and resilience, regularly assessing progress and adjusting our approach as needed. As we continue our work, we will celebrate achievements and refine goals to ensure ongoing growth. Ultimately, my aim is for clients to move forward with confidence equipped with the tools to navigate life's challenges.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am a listening, supportive, and engaging therapist who values fun and humor in the therapeutic process. I believe play is a child's primary language and a way to express what's happening in their world. Through thoughtful interactions, I make meaning of their play, exploring alongside the client to understand their experiences. This approach helps us build a deeper connection and establish meaningful insights.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety and stress, particularly during life transitions. I provide practical tools and strategies to support them through these changes. My goal is to empower individuals to navigate transitions with greater ease and confidence. Together, we work to develop effective coping mechanisms and foster resilience.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am a client-centered therapist specializing in supporting individuals with anxiety and stress. My approach is flexible, adapting to the specific needs of each client. While I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I draw from a variety of techniques to create a comprehensive framework that helps us gain a deeper understanding of the client's perspective and work together toward meaningful progress and lasting change.
