Iisha Toombs, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Iisha! I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with substance use disorder, mental health, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, and trauma. My approach My therapeutic approach consists of active listening, CBT, CPT, strength building, solution-focused techniques, and meeting my clients where they are at. My focus I work with a multitude of clients from different backgrounds and cultures than my own. I regularly practice cultural humility and cultural competency. I work with individuals who identify as LGBTIA+ and support them in their journeys to be the best version of themselves. I learn from my clients. My communication style I do my best to create a warm, inviting space for my clients. I want my clients to feel comfortable opening up about whatever may be on their minds, knowing I am not here to pass judgment. I am here to support all my clients on any journey they are on. My journey to mental healthcare My undergraduate major was Sociology. While learning about social theories, the dynamics of human interaction, and how our Family of Origin can shape our lives, I decided I wanted to help others navigate the various challenges we face. So, I obtained my Master's in Social Work from the University of Michigan, and here I am. :) My goals for you I like to meet clients where they are at. I also like to work on setting short- and long-term goals. However, my goal is not to overwhelm clients by focusing too much on long-term goals. They will be there, but my idea is to focus on small, obtainable, and achievable goals. My first session with you My goal will be to identify what brings my clients to treatment, what they are looking for, and what they hope to gain. The most important thing will be for me to establish rapport and make clients feel comfortable. Without rapport, it could be a barrier to working on their goals.
