Getting to know Tyson Smith

I work with a wide variety of individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds who often struggle with relationship dynamics, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I prioritize establishing safety and security in therapy so that the environment allows for exploration and healing. I utilize action-oriented approaches that include strategies focused on acceptance, mindfulness, commitment, and behavioral change. My hope is that my clients will gain the freedom to make their lives more meaningful and whole. One of my specialties is working with couples, addressing issues such as relationship distress, communication deficits, intimacy problems, conflict resolution, infidelity, trust-building, fear, self-esteem, extended family conflicts, establishing boundaries, and premarital therapy. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Bakersfield, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support my clients effectively. It’s important to me to build a safe, inclusive, and accepting therapeutic relationship with you. If you are ready to take a meaningful, healthy direction in your life, I am here to share my knowledge and compassion to help you achieve your goals.

More information on payments and coverage

After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
