Getting to know Tessa Hodge

Hi there, I'm Tessa! Hello! My name is Tessa Hodge, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, San Bernardino. Is anxiety, depression, or trauma keeping you from living your dreams? Are you looking to take the first step in healing, taking control of your fears, and creating better relationships? Taking that first step and reaching out to a therapist can be intimidating. My hope is that you will take that first step. My commitment is to amplify your strengths, resilience, and tenacity to guide you toward your goals. My approach I utilize a person-centered and strengths-based approach to assist my clients in overcoming barriers keeping them from achieving their goals. I truly believe being our most authentic selves is one of the most important things in life, which means I bring my authentic self to my clients. Along with my professional training and experience, I use my humor, outgoing personality, directness, and empathy to dismantle the barriers impeding your path. My focus I typically work with women and men aged 18-45 dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or struggling through life transitions. I am comfortable with significant trauma histories as well as self-harm behaviors and suicidal ideation. My communication style I am quick to laugh, upbeat, straightforward, and always honest. I believe in being our authentic selves, and that is what I bring to the table. I use my authentic self to create an environment rich in authenticity where deep insight shares space with humor and laughter. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist is deeply personal. Growing up, I lived in an environment rife with domestic violence, substance abuse, and neglect. As I got older, I saw how trauma, depression, and anxiety influenced so much around me. I do this work to help others reach their best.
