About Tien
Tien Gerrodette is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, and depression. He describes taking the first step toward change as an act of courage and aims to provide steady support as people work toward more satisfying lives. Sessions are framed around each person's strengths and personal story rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Tien uses practical methods to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He encourages straightforward problem solving and small, manageable steps that can reduce symptoms and make daily life easier to handle. Many people come to him wanting tools they can actually use between sessions.
With 20 years of experience, he brings long-term practice to common and complex struggles. He has particular experience with drug and alcohol addiction and with helping people regain control after trauma or emotional setbacks. He aims to balance empathy with clear guidance so clients can see concrete progress.
Tien emphasizes collaboration in therapy. He helps people set realistic goals, track changes, and adjust strategies when needed. He also works to normalize setbacks as part of change, encouraging continued effort rather than perfection.
People who prefer plain language and a problem-focused approach may find his style helpful. He offers services in English and accepts international clients, and he encourages prospective clients to confirm current session options before booking.
