Getting to know Tom Westin

Psychotherapy with me is an opportunity for you to explore your experience in a space that is nonjudgmental, open, and supportive, and through this to discover more ease, as well as solutions to the challenges you are facing. It is a chance for you to look at thoughts, emotions, and conditioned responses to life and life events; untangle the knots of old beliefs and patterns that are no longer helpful; and take action to live a freer, more satisfying, and more authentic life. I see clients by telehealth throughout California. My approach My approach is collaborative and experiential, and makes use of your already-existing strengths while working to help you develop new ones. I have training in psychodynamic, CBT, somatic, and experiential modalities, including EMDR and Somatic Experiencing. I may gently encourage you to pay attention to internal cues and responses, and together we will work to develop tools to enable you to feel more at ease in the world. My focus I specialize in working with adults dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, and trauma, and who have the willingness to put in the work to make a change in their lives. My communication style I want you to feel seen, heard, and understood. I will do my best to create a space for you to explore your experience and your concerns, and I have been told that I have a calm and nonjudgmental presence. I may check in with you from time to time to see if the direction we are going in is helpful, or if we need to take a different approach. My journey to mental healthcare I was initially drawn to the field of psychology due to a strong curiosity to understand myself and the people around me, and to see if there were ways to make our lives just a little bit easier. During graduate school and beyond, I have enjoyed learning about and immersing myself in various approaches to healing, and then sharing those with clients in therapy sessions.
