Trisha Contarino

I’m Dr. Contarino, a licensed Clinical and Forensic Psychologist practicing in California. Whatever brought you here, you’ve found a caring and steady place to start. I work with people navigating depression, anxiety, substance use, mood and personality concerns, major life transitions, and relationship struggles, and I have a special heart for supporting fellow medical providers. Wherever you’re starting from, I’ll meet you there and help you move toward a life where you can truly thrive. If you’re ready to take that step, I’m here to help you reach your full potential.

I individualize our work for you, often drawing on practical tools to help reframe the negative thinking patterns that so often fuel emotional distress. I also use solution focused strategies to help us set clear, attainable goals. Through real collaboration, we’ll help you reach your full potential.

In our first session, we’ll explore together the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be adding to what you’re facing. We’ll also look at your strengths, past successes, and the supports already in your life that can help you move forward. If you’re ready for change, let’s take that first step together.
