Theresa Strand

Theresa Strand is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California whose work focuses on helping people navigate complex emotional landscapes. With nine years of clinical experience, she addresses anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self esteem, and the stress that accompanies life changes. Her practice emphasizes supporting clients through the practical and relational challenges that arise from family dynamics, caregiver roles, and periods of isolation.

Theresa draws from a Christian-informed perspective while honoring each person’s unique journey. She aims to foster self-compassion, clearer communication, and renewed purpose as clients work through attachment wounds, guilt and shame, or struggles with forgiveness. Her approach is holistic, attending to emotional, relational, and existential aspects of change without presuming a single path to healing.

Theresa also works with individuals facing intellectual disability concerns, women’s issues, and those seeking help with life purpose and self-love. She frames therapeutic work as a collaborative process and offers a respectful space for exploration, reflection, and incremental growth.
