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.

Jamie Littleton

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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Downey, CA

Searching for therapists in Downey starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand how they work, what sessions may focus on, and whether their style feels like a good fit.

In a smaller city like Downey, nearby in-person appointments may be more limited than in larger parts of Los Angeles County. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in California. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and practical details like session format.

Therapy in Downey can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated costs after your benefits are verified, and book directly when you’re ready.
