Who you'll be working with

You have every right to know who will be sitting across from you

 

If this is your first time, I want to emphasize the importance of finding someone who feels like a good match for you. If you've been to therapy before, you'll know that it can be a challenging journey and comfort with your therapist is of high importance in this process. The dynamic between you and your therapist matters, and you have the right to choose yours.

I'm Thali and my pronouns are they/them/theirs. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist in California (LMFT130054) and received my M.S. in Clinical Counseling from CSU Northridge. 

​

I work to create a therapeutic environment where both you and me can show up authentically and unapologetically. If you are unfamiliar with gender neutral pronouns or non-binary people, I welcome a conversation during our initial session to explore how working with a non-binary therapist may look like. 

​

As your therapist, I aim to be present and curious about you. The better I get to know you, the more efficiently I'll be able to provide you services. I will sit with you through the trials and errors, and celebrate loudly your small and big accomplishments. It is important to me that my clients can be fully honest in their sessions. I also believe that healthy conflict promotes growth. Once we've established comfort, I will challenge you if I believe that you're cutting yourself short. Sometimes we're well aware of our own barriers, other times we may need some assistance bringing those to light. I aim to help you widen your perspectives and find the right tools so you can ultimately exceed on your own.
