Licensed to practice in California and accepts 17 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Coping Skills, Depression and 8 more.
I am Karina Tamayo a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California and I have been practicing for 7 years. I have worked with people of various backgrounds who have been struggling with different issues. I take pride on building a strong rapport with my clients and providing them with the space to build on their strengths and live fuller and richer lives.
In the first sessions I like to get to know my clients a little better by asking them the nature of why they are searching out services. I provide answers to questions that may come up and I map out what treatment will look like.
I enjoy working with people and getting to know them on a deeper level to help them explore and identify root issues of patterns that may be problematic. I validate feelings and challenge thoughts when appropriate. I highlight strengths that vary from small to large because every strengths is important to see.
I enjoy working with individuals who are struggling in areas of their life and helping them rediscover strengths they might not have known that they have.

I choose to focus on each client based on individual need. There is not always one cookie cutter way to see things or treat people so I work collaboratively with each person based on goals they would like to work on and their style of communication.
