Hello, I am Theresa Dinkins, a Licensed Marriage Family Child Therapist based in the Bay Area. I work with clients throughout California via telehealth. I assist a diverse population in finding resources and gaining clarity on their issues. My primary approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, tailored to the client’s needs and presenting problems. I also incorporate various other therapeutic theories to help clients achieve resolution.
My approach varies based on the client’s current challenges. The most effective theories in my practice have been Psychodynamic Therapy and Family Therapy, as both modalities help address a wide range of presenting problems. These methods assist both the client and me in uncovering the root cause of most concerns by providing a deeper understanding of their etiology. This allows us to outline possible solutions and implement effective coping mechanisms.
Clients are actively involved in the goal-setting process to ensure that the plan aligns with their desired outcomes. I serve as a guide, helping to establish the key points that need to be addressed based on the presenting problem.
