Timea Tenkei, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Timea! Timea Tenkei LMFT, BCBA. My goal as a therapist is to help individuals and families uncover and utilize their personal strengths to overcome their challenges and meet their therapeutic goals. I assist my clients by helping them to develop new skills with a down-to-earth, friendly, and proactive approach. Using client-centered techniques, I provide a safe space for clients to feel heard, understood, and respected. I incorporate Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Solution Focused & Mindfulness therapies to assist clients in learning how to identify and manage unhelpful thoughts & feelings, practice appropriate social skills, establish and maintain healthy boundaries and teach healthy coping strategies and effective communication skills. Early on in my career, I directed my focus on working with children and adults living with various forms of disabilities and learned to support them through the everyday challenges they experience systemically. In order to provide the highest level of care, I completed my master's training in Applied Behavioral Analysis and became a board-certified behavior analyst. I believe that working collaboratively with individuals with disabilities takes a special level of attention and care. I combine my education and experience with understanding and compassion, which creates an ideal environment for my clients. They have taught me that transparency and honesty are key to being effective as a clinician. In my work, the therapeutic relationship is essential for establishing and reaching goals, and therefore building this will be the focus of the initial sessions. As my client progresses, I place great emphasis on collaboration and utilizing a strength-based approach.
