Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Gwendolyn Tyson,

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California. During my 31 years of experience, I have worked with a diverse range of people aged 3 to 95, providing individual, child, and family counseling. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is paramount for growth, meaning the relationship between therapist and client is of the utmost importance for success.

My approach

I have been told that I have a gentle, soft demeanor that makes clients feel relaxed and easily engaged during sessions. By using self-reflection, one becomes more aware of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

My approach to therapy

I generally use Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral, trauma-focused, grief and loss, and Strength-Based therapy.

What you can expect from me

My desire is to help you achieve your goals by exploring interventions you can use for a lifetime. The goals of therapy are important. Together, we will work on developing goals to have a positive outcome at the closure of therapy. Let's start this journey together
