Please note- I schedule appointments only at the top of each hour. Your healing can start today! My name is Renee H. Tunkel. I go by Hannah. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of California since 2011. I have extensive background in body, mind, spirit somatic and holistic therapies. For those inclined, I incorporate a few moments of mindfulness meditation at the start of each session, to bring a centered, grounded focus that allows you to connect more deeply to your Inner and/or Higher Self, as well as to gain access to the unconscious mind, where the root of the issue lies. Since 1997, I have been helping individuals heal from anxiety, chronic pain, childhood trauma, sleep disorders, and problems of early attachment problems (prenatal and birth trauma) through my business All Ways Well Within. I also have been helping couples improve communication, deepen intimacy, and experience more sexual fulfillment in relationships. You are not alone! We all have old beliefs, feelings, and self-defeating patterns that get in the way of expressing our best selves and living our greatest lives, but this can change if you commit to doing the work!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll have time to get to know each other and I'll gather information about what brings you to therapy, as well as relevant history. You'll be able to ask me questions as well. The first several sessions allow us the ability to get to know each other and see if we're a good fit.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is helping people feel safe and understood from our first session. I have an intuitive sense of people and I love working with individuals who are on a spiritual path. I have had great success working with people who have chronic pain and illness, anxiety, spiritual crisis (dark night of the soul), divorce, life transitions, setting and keeping boundaries, empowerment for women finding their voice, men who desire to be in relationship and/or be better partners, and couples having love and intimacy challenges.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Brainspotting
I am trained and getting certified in Brainspotting, a unique trauma healing therapy that has some similarities and some differences from EMDR. I use Brainspotting to help individuals who are ready to get "underneath the hood," inside their nervous systems to effect change a levels deeper than talk therapy is able to address. It is a method that utilizes mindfulness and awareness of the body to help unlock deeply held patterns that keep people stuck.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is used to help resolve internal conflicts and/or symptoms held by various parts of the self. It pairs very well with Brainspotting, Mindfulness, and Somatic therapies which I find to be most effective at getting to the root of the problem and gaining lifelong skills to increase personal effectiveness, self expression, and joyful participation in life.
