Hello, my name is Tanya Frausto. I proudly identify as a bilingual, first-generation Latina college graduate, daughter of immigrants, who comes from a low-income background. I earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of San Diego, a master’s degree in social work from San Diego State University, and am licensed in the state of California. I have 14 years in the helping profession serving clients in all stages of life from school-aged children to the elderly.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, we will do introductions to make sure we are a good fit for each other. We will then move to the challenges that bring you to therapy, and exploring ways in which we can address them.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a practitioner, I use techniques and approaches that are evidenced based, and I apply them in a way that it is easy for my clients to understand. The feedback that I have received from my clients is that after our time together, they feel equipped with the tools to manage their challenges (anxiety, depression, body issues, marital conflict, etc) independently. I have also been told that I am relatable, and "real" when it comes to sharing some of my own life experiences.
