Getting to know Taeko Bufford
My name is Ty Bufford, LCSW. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of California, Los Angeles. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life stressors, relationship issues, generational trauma, grief, addiction, LGBTQ+ issues, inner child work, and racial trauma. Thank you for taking the first step during these challenging times. Therapy is a journey, and I am here to walk with you through this process.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You can expect a safe place to be heard, understood, and to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with empathy, compassion, and techniques to help you overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Looking forward to working with you!

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I feel like I have gotten more out of my few sessions with Ty than I have with many sessions from other therapists. I like that she challenges my perceptions and gives me hope that I can make change.
