Tanya Samuelian, LMFT

Tanya Samuelian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California, with nine years of clinical experience supporting young adults, professionals, and couples. She holds a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from California Lutheran University and brings a grounded, practical perspective to work with people juggling demanding careers, relationships, and family life.

Tanya often works with individuals who appear to have it all together outwardly but feel burdened by anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or strain in their relationships. She focuses on helping high achievers unravel patterns of overthinking, reconnect with neglected parts of themselves, and build more sustainable ways of living. Her specialty areas include stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and coaching, with additional attention to communication problems, forgiveness, life purpose, financial stress, self-love, women’s issues, and challenges facing young adults.

Her therapeutic style is collaborative, warm, and practical. Tanya draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic approaches, and cognitive-behavioral tools, tailoring the process to each person’s pace and priorities. Sessions combine structure for measurable progress with flexibility to meet clients where they are, emphasizing exploration of the underlying patterns that shape behavior and practicing skills that translate into daily life.

Rather than trying to fix someone, Tanya aims to deepen self-understanding, help people name their experience, and support small, doable shifts that produce lasting change. Her goal is for clients to leave sessions feeling steadier, less isolated, and more connected to what matters most to them.
