Tommi-Jai Walsh

Feeling understood can make all the difference in therapy. For more than 25 years, I've helped individuals, couples, and families navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and life's many transitions.

I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ clients, transgender and nonbinary individuals, people healing from religious trauma, and those in nontraditional relationships or lifestyles. I believe therapy should be a space where no topic is off limits and where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment.

Clients often describe me as warm, affirming, open-minded, and down-to-earth. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, accepted, and truly seen.

My approach is casual, conversational, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to be honest, laugh when needed, and explore difficult topics without judgment.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method, strengths-based therapy, and solution-focused approaches to tailor treatment to your unique needs. Whether we're working on relationships, trauma, identity exploration, or life stressors, we'll focus on building practical tools while honoring your strengths and experiences.

Therapy doesn't require you to have everything figured out, just a willingness to begin!

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, what challenges you're facing, and what you hope will be different in your life.

You can expect a genuine conversation, a chance to build connection, and a supportive environment where you can share at your own pace. Together, we'll begin identifying goals and discussing practical next steps. Occasionally, I may suggest exercises or between-session activities to help support your growth outside of therapy.
