Tyana Ingram

Therapist

Virtual • California


If you've been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or disconnected from yourself, you're not alone. Many of the women I work with are navigating burnout, grief, anxiety, life transitions, financial stress, or the pressure of constantly caring for others while neglecting their own needs.

Hi, I'm Tyana Larise Ingram, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Financial Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life's challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I draw from solution-focused and narrative therapies to help clients gain clarity, build coping skills, and create meaningful change. For those who desire it, I also offer optional Christian faith integration.

Whether you're navigating a difficult season or simply feeling ready for something different, therapy can provide a space to slow down, heal, and reconnect with yourself.

When I'm not working, you'll likely find me listening to live music, journaling, spending time outdoors, or taking walks with my rescue pup, Sunny D.

I'm Tene Rodgers, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience in mental health and social services. I made the decision to become fully licensed five years ago because I wanted to go deeper in the work I've always cared about, and I haven't looked back since. I'm a Black woman, and that lived perspective shapes how I show up in the room. I offer culturally affirming care to adults, teens, and families, with a particular focus on trauma, grief, women's issues, relationship dynamics, and substance use.

Therapist

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can finally exhale. I strive to create an environment that is supportive, honest, and free of judgment; a place where you feel truly seen and emotionally safe. My approach is collaborative and practical. I don’t just help you understand why you feel the way you do; I help you build real tools to navigate it.

I earned my degree from Cal State Fullerton and have extensive experience working in addiction treatment, eating disorder recovery, and women’s issues. Supporting women is especially meaningful to me. I am deeply passionate about helping women navigate challenges related to self-worth, body image, relationships, boundaries, life transitions, and identity. I understand how trauma, societal expectations, and relational dynamics can shape how women see themselves, and I approach this work with both compassion and clarity.

Together, we focus on strengthening mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills in ways that feel realistic and sustainable. I blend insight-oriented exploration with concrete strategies, because meaningful change happens when insight meets action. My goal is to help you better understand your patterns, feel more confident managing your emotions, and move forward with greater clarity, self-trust, and resilience.
