About Tina
Tina Phillips is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 31 years of experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and self esteem challenges. Tina acknowledges that reaching out for help can feel hard and she aims to make the first steps easier.
She trained at UCLA for her undergraduate degree in Communication Studies and completed graduate work at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. Her clinical background includes work in a psychiatric facility and with people who had both mental health and substance use needs. That history shaped her practical, problem-focused way of working.
Tina has spent distinct stretches of her career supporting seniors, children and families, and young adults with autism. She has also helped people through divorce, child custody concerns, grief, and caregiving stress. These varied settings mean she often draws on straightforward methods that people can use between sessions.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people reduce symptoms and try new behaviors. Sessions typically focus on clear steps, small skills practice, and real-world problem solving. She encourages clients to set goals and to notice progress along the way.
Tina works in California and conducts sessions in English. She accepts international clients. She invites people to take the next step when they feel ready and to treat seeking help as an important act of self-care.
