Tess L Roholt Therapy

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in the State of California. I earned my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology & Drama Therapy (Marriage & Family Therapist Track) from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) Graduate School of Professional Psychology.​ I provide therapy for children, teens, individual adults, families & couples. My skill set is integrative, strength-based and often playful. I combine traditional talk therapy with creative methods including drama therapy, psychodrama, narrative, embodiment and gestalt. I recognize and leverage the impact early attachment experiences have on current relationships, emotional regulation and difficulties in functioning. I am especially attuned to the different "parts" of you (i.e. the neglected, lonely, victorious, you name it [insert feeling]) and how these "parts" have helped you cope with life. In our work together, I will help you integrate all parts of you while helping you to choose and nurture which ones you would like to feel more of. Together we will discover your patterns and way of relating to the world. With my embodied and fully present approach, we will peel back the layers of feeling you may be hiding underneath, layers that keep you stuck, and we will reveal the real, deeply feeling you. As your therapist, we will collaborate towards goals that meet your mental health needs. I am honored to join you in your journey towards recovery, hope, self-compassion and healing.
