Getting to know Tiama Rucker

Hi! I am Tiama Rucker, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I approach each therapy session with sensitivity, compassion, and empathy while creating a safe space for change and growth. I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support my clients effectively. My approach My approach to therapy is client-centered because I focus on the unique and specific needs of the individual. Every situation is different, so I work with each person to set goals and find the tools and approaches that will best help them. My focus My approach and style resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds. I am most experienced in treating symptoms that arise from stress and life transitional issues. These often manifest as anxiety, depression, and struggles with social connection. My communication style I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help, especially to a stranger, so I strive to create a safe and inviting environment. Working with me is a calm and validating experience that allows growth through difficult situations. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist because I could not find the help I needed. I wanted to help myself so that I could help people like me who were also struggling to find support. Since becoming a therapist 10 years ago, I have had the privilege of being part of many people's growth, and that drives me to continue on this path. My goals for you Goal setting will always be a collaborative experience when working with me. My first session with you Our first session will focus on how you've been feeling recently. I will ask questions to better understand why you may be feeling that way. We will focus on building rapport and connection so that we feel comfortable with one another. This will help me get a sense of how we should move forward.
