Tatiana Stewart, LCSW

Tatiana Stewart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 14 years of post-master's clinical experience. She has worked in mental health and behavioral counseling for 17 years and commonly works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting concerns.

Stewart describes therapy as a collaborative process that starts with active listening and ongoing feedback. She aims to create an open meeting where clients can name problems and begin practical steps toward change. Her approach is straightforward and focused on real-life concerns like work stress, caregiving strain, and relationship conflict.

She draws on a mix of methods to shape a plan that fits each person's situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy appear in her practice, and she also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to address patterns in relationships. Those methods are applied in practical ways - learning new coping skills, shifting unhelpful thinking, and rebuilding connection with others.

Tatiana also attends to issues that come up alongside major life events, such as grief, workplace problems, and caregiver stress. She works with people on parenting challenges, communication problems, and feelings of guilt, shame, or isolation.

Sessions include listening, reflection, skill-building, and identifying local resources when helpful. Tatiana asks for feedback in every session so the direction stays relevant to a client's goals.
