For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals untangle the weight of trauma, stress, and life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Whether you’re feeling on edge, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can be a place to finally exhale.

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.

Many people come to therapy carrying pain that is difficult to put into words. You may understand why you're struggling, yet still find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling stuck in painful relationships, grieving losses, or wondering why lasting change feels out of reach. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, infertility, trauma, stress, family concerns, maternal mental health challenges, and life transitions. Many of my clients are thoughtful, insightful people who want more than temporary relief, they want to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we'll explore the experiences, relationships, and emotional patterns that have shaped your life while building greater self-awareness and self-compassion. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, and create a life that feels more connected, purposeful, and authentic.

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 Sunnyvale, CA

Searching for therapists in Sunnyvale starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with concerns similar to yours. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their style, what sessions may focus on, and which types of care they provide.

Sunnyvale has a smaller local market than nearby San Jose or San Francisco, so virtual therapy can help expand your options while still keeping care accessible from home. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book. Reading profiles closely can help you see how each therapist works, how they communicate, and whether their availability fits your schedule.

Therapy in Sunnyvale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated costs before booking, and schedule directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapists in Sunnyvale, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs, plan, and preferences.
