Tanya Samuelian (She/Her)
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, perfectionism, self-worth issues, and relationship stress. My style is supportive, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based methods like Internal Family Systems and CBT.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: My approach is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, and cognitive behavioral tools (CBT) to help clients explore the deeper emotional patterns driving anxiety, burnout, or relationship challenges. I work at your pace, offering a space where you don’t have to perform or problem-solve—just reflect, feel, and reconnect.
For high-functioning individuals and couples, therapy often becomes a space to finally lay down the pressure and get curious about the internal parts that have been working overtime. Whether you’re navigating perfectionism, leadership stress, or emotional disconnection, our work is tailored to support realignment from the inside out—with compassion and depth.

My practice focuses on helping adults and couples who are outwardly capable but inwardly struggling with anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, and self-doubt. Many of my clients identify as overthinkers, perfectionists, or emotional caregivers—people who give a lot to others but often neglect their own needs.
In therapy, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down and reconnect with yourself. Using a blend of Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, and cognitive behavioral tools, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you stuck and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
Whether you’re dealing with high-functioning anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or the weight of unspoken feelings, this is a space where you don’t have to hold it all together. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more at ease in your own life.
