Getting to know Kathy Tanner

Hi there, I'm Kathy! Congratulations on taking steps toward creating the life and relationships you desire. My name is Kathy Tanner, and I have been a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California since 2002. I am passionate about working with people who want to heal, grow, and live their best life. I earned my bachelor's degree from the University of California, Davis, which laid the foundation for my career in mental health. My approach I provide a supportive, cognitive behavioral approach while focusing on a person's strengths, thoughts, feelings, and achievable action steps. I believe that if we are willing to take the time to learn, grow, and engage in self-compassion, mindfulness, awareness, healthy communication, and positive coping skills, we can improve our relationships and live the life that we desire. My focus Throughout my career, I have specialized in working with children, teenagers, and adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. I understand and appreciate the complexities of relationships, marriage, parenting, co-parenting, and life transitions. I have supported many people who come to therapy during significant life transitions, whether entering adulthood, marriage struggles or divorce, infidelity, “empty nesting,” or general aging. My communication style I have a strengths-based approach, and I am calm, patient, and supportive. After working in this field for over 25 years and with much lived experience, I am a safe, accepting person to talk with about your current needs and concerns. I realize that people attend therapy for different reasons-some prefer ample time to express and share their thoughts and feelings, while others prefer a more “coaching” style approach. This is a conversation I have with my clients so I can meet them where they are. My journey to mental healthcare I have been licensed in California as a Marriage and Family Therapist for over 20 years.
