Tyesha Sullivan
Hi and welcome! My name is Tyesha and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed in the state of California. I have been practicing for over 13 years and continue to have a passion for the work I do. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem.
I'm also known to incorporate humor into the therapeutic process, creating a warm and approachable environment.
Passionate about helping clients uncover the root of their challenges, I provide a compassionate and validating space for healing and growth. Through deep exploration and a touch of humor, I empower individuals to understand themselves better and develop lasting coping skills for a healthier, more fulfilling life.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and discuss a little bit of history so that I can get to know you better. Then we'll dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Sessions with me are known for being both insightful and supportive, with clients leaving feeling validated and understood. I'm also known to incorporate humor into the therapeutic process, creating a warm and approachable environment.
Ideal clients
I work best with individuals because it allows for a deeper, more focused exploration of each person’s unique experiences, patterns, and inner world. In one-on-one sessions, I can tailor interventions to meet the client exactly where they are, helping them uncover root causes rather than just managing surface-level symptoms. My approach emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, understood, and validated—this often creates the space needed for meaningful insight and lasting change. I also value the ability to move at the client’s pace, integrating humor, honesty, and practical coping skills while supporting them in developing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of identity.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is very effective in changing thought patterns. With anxiety and trauma, often maladaptive ways of thinking are developed thus keeping people "stuck" in negative cycles. I use this in conjunction with other modalities in order to help my clients improve their thinking patterns. The majority of my clients find this very helpful.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
My therapy sessions are largely Person-centered. I allow my clients to take the lead on what they need each session, providing them a safe space to process and discover themselves. I use a non-judgmental, positive approach while working to understand my clients experience.
Psychodynamic
Experiences shape personality, beliefs, and thought patterns. I am a firm believer that one must understand how their past impacts their present. I work closely with my clients to help them discover unconscious patterns while exploring their emotions. The purpose is get to the root of the issue to encourage healing.
Eclectic
Being eclectic allows me to individualize my treatment to fit my clients needs each session. I value that my clients are unique; therefore, I often combine different techniques from various modalities to fit the need of each client. Each session is uniquely yours.
