TyaCamellia (Tya) Stone, LMFT

Licensed Therapist, Business Owner & Author

#112207 & #2779-R

My passion is to help people:

Heal, transform and thrive!

Improve their relationship with themselves, and with other people.

Develop an empowered sense of self and create relationships that they actually want to be in.

I know what people who come to therapy need.

You are seeking to live authentically, to create real connection with others, and to feel in control of you life.

You are looking for a sounding board where your thoughts and emotions can surface and be explored without judgment.

You are looking for a place to untangle your thoughts, emotions, memories, and aspirations, and create a positive meaning from it all.

Most people who work with me have had therapy before — but something was off.

It’s difficult to find a therapist that you vibe with and trust.

Other therapists may explore the depths of pain and trauma, but don’t know how to get you out!

They ask the wrong questions, and fail to give you answers.

My approach is fixing the roots!

Armed with proven therapeutic methods and a down-to-earth personality, you’ve got an incredible ally in your corner.

I have dedicated my life to helping people take back control of their life, connect with others, and feel ready for whatever comes their way.

You’re not alone anymore — I’VE GOT YOUR BACK!

Licenses & Experience

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of California, LMFT #112207, and Nevada LMFT #2779-R.

I have worked in research clinics, group and solo private practice settings, and community-based non-profit organizations.

Much of my experience has been with people 20-55 years of age, who struggle with high functioning anxiety, relational problems, navigating difficult transitions, deep self-exploration, personal development, and trauma.

Education

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology at University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA. Sociology is different from Psychology, in that it considers the social context that impacts a person and their relationships, rather than just focusing on the individual as if they are internally flawed.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Couples & Family Therapy at Alliant International University in Sacramento, CA, which is an exclusive and rigorous school that is accredited at the highest level in our field. Couples & Family Therapy programs are different from Marriage & Family Therapy programs because they considers the diversity of couples outside of the institution of marriage, and families that may be considered nontraditional.

Training & Certifications

I have extensive training in a variety of modalities and populations including, but not limited to:

  • Healing from Narcissistic Abuse

  • Trauma-Informed and Strength-Based

  • Emotion Focused Therapy

  • Internal Family Systems

  • Gottman Couples Therapy Level II

  • Solution-Focused

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

  • Narrative Therapy

Fun Facts About Me

I get it — It’s kind of weird to not really know who you are telling all your life secrets and troubles to. So here’s a little bit about me:

  • I’m very happily married.

  • I love to dance.

  • I enjoy lifting weights and walking in nature.

  • I was a competitive all-star cheerleader for 10 years.

  • I have two beautiful long haired cats.

  • My husband and I are passionate about food.

  • I’m not a great singer — but that doesn’t mean I won’t.

  • I love stand-up comedy.

  • I dropped out of a PhD program because my true passion is my clinical work.

I'm excited to work with you!
