About me
Hi, I'm Tamara Hetnal. I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who is bilingual in English and Russian. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Master of Arts in Psychology from Pepperdine University. I have experience in working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families with various mental health needs. My experience in therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Wholesomeness includes one's mind, body, and spirit. My approach is individualized and integrative, depending on what is most beneficial to the client. As an associate therapist, I am dedicated to creating a safe place where the client has the freedom to express and be heard, and positive change is possible. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is very important; therefore, it is my duty to demonstrate cultural competence, hold to ethical and moral standards, and provide an empathetic and compassionate environment.
My goal is to help clients build resilience, highlight their strengths, and fill their toolbox with coping skills for life's challenges.
