Getting to know Karina Tamayo
Hello, my name is Karina Tamayo, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Southern California, providing services statewide via telehealth. I work with adolescents and adults in individual and conjoint therapies. I specialize in anxiety and depression, utilizing various tools from behavioral and cognitive behavioral treatments to assist clients in making positive life changes.
My approach varies depending on client needs. I use strengths-based, cognitive behavioral, and behavioral treatments to work collaboratively with clients on making progress and meeting their goals.
I have experience working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety and depression, individuals who have experienced domestic violence, and parents seeking to develop positive parenting skills.
I create an open and positive environment where clients feel safe and comfortable sharing their lives and concerns. I am non-judgmental and enjoy connecting with clients to encourage personal growth.
I have always been fascinated by relationships and relationship dynamics. I feel privileged to witness firsthand people making positive changes and becoming more fulfilled in their lives.
A collaborative approach to goal setting is very important to me. Clients need to have a say in their treatment while I provide guidance. They can decide which concerns to address during sessions.
The first session focuses on building rapport and getting to know each other, as well as exploring what the client hopes to gain from attending sessions.
