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.
I feel this work is a vocation driven by humility, love, patience, and integrity. I enjoy developing relationships and assisting people on their way to living life to their fullest potential. I believe the world can change one person at a time through mindful, values-based living. In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors, with my family and my three little furry friends.
I believe that every person is born with the capacity to live a full, meaningful, and joyful life. Through life's challenges, losses, relationships, and unexpected experiences, we can become disconnected from that sense of wholeness. My role is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can reconnect with yourself, better understand your experiences, and move toward healing. I view therapy as a collaborative process built on trust, respect, and genuine human connection.
With 10 years of dedicated practice, I am deeply passionate about my work as a therapist. Whether you are navigating stress, loss, life changes, or coping with challenges that have taken a toll on you, therapy provides a nurturing environment for healing and personal growth. As a therapist, I approach each individual with an open mind, compassion, and a commitment to empowerment and holistic well-being.

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding family therapists in Oakland starts with understanding what your family wants help working through. Family therapy may support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns across generations, or major life changes. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists for family issues, look for listed experience with family counseling services, counseling for family conflict, or therapy for family problems that match your specific needs.
In Oakland, the right fit may depend on location, schedule, and who needs to attend each session. Some families prefer in-person therapy in Oakland near work, school, or home, while others use virtual sessions to make scheduling easier across multiple calendars. Session structure can vary — some meetings may include the full family, while others may focus on parents, siblings, caregivers, or individual family members. Before booking, read therapist bios to see how each therapist describes their approach, session format, availability, and experience with counseling family problems.
Family therapy in Oakland can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search Oakland therapists who are accepting new patients, compare virtual and in-person options, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
