Hi there! I'm Jani Tourtouropoulos, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT, working in Telehealth with clients in California. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use and abuse, life transitions, and relationship troubles.
My approach
My approach is eclectic and varies based on my client's needs. I work from a humanistic, client-centered approach to support the therapeutic relationship and current dynamics. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness.
My focus
My approach best serves adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, work stress, boundary setting, substance use/abuse, self-care, and self-esteem. I work with clients on skill building as well as assign homework to solidify growth.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, inviting, empathetic, supportive, and joyful. I take pride in providing a safe space by offering empathy and compassion. I enjoy making my clients feel heard, seen, and valued, as they are, without judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I was 16, and decided I would pursue my degree. I am naturally an empathetic helper and it has always been my deepest desire to assist others through their life path. I love watching my clients progress and being able to boast about their hard work and growth. It makes me happy to see others shine.
My goals for you
I approach goals with clients by first, establishing trust, and second, understanding what it is you are looking to obtain. From there, we break down large goals into manageable goals and tasks over time and can track progress.
My first session with you
During a first session with me, you can expect us to have a dialogue about what brings you into therapy at this time, in a supportive space. Together, we will discuss current struggles, recent changes, your goals, your mental health, self-care, and relationships so I can get a big picture of your current life. This helps me create a plan of action with you.
