Information about Dr. Ta-Taneisha Thames:
Dr. Ta-Taneisha Thames embarked on her clinical psychology career following the acquisition of a Master of Science degree in Counseling, with a Specialization in School Psychology, from San Diego State University (SDSU). She has served as a school psychologist for over two decades. The majority of her professional journey has been devoted to the role of a School Psychologist within one of the nation's largest inner-city school districts. Additionally, her experience has encompassed engagements with various school districts across the state of California, where she has served a diverse student population, spanning the spectrum from preschool through high school. These services have been rendered both within traditional brick-and-mortar educational settings and through virtual platforms.

Her principal responsibility as a school psychologist entailed the meticulous evaluation of student eligibility for specialized educational support. This critical determination hinged upon comprehensive assessments spanning cognitive aptitude, academic achievement, socio-emotional development, and behavioral conduct. Her methodology encompassed a multifaceted approach, incorporating observational analysis, in-depth interviews, and a comprehensive review of contextual information, encompassing health histories and familial dynamics.

In addition to her pivotal role in special education assessments, Dr. Thames also facilitated the provision of mental health services through the conduit of Designated Instructional Services (DIS). This included addressing both individual and group behavioral challenges that impeded students' capacity to thrive within the classroom milieu. 

However, her professional journey prompted a profound realization; she perceived a limited reach in addressing the mental health needs of only a segment of the population. It was this epiphany that ignited her passionate ambition to extend her therapeutic services beyond the traditional Pre-K through 12 educational sectors, unencumbered by demographic boundaries.

In 2012, her academic pursuits led me to attend California Southern University (CSU) as a Clinical Psychology scholar. This journey culminated in the attainment of her Psy.D. (Doctor of Psychology) in Clinical Psychology in 2019. Throughout this educational odyssey, she gained diverse clinical experiences, spanning the school settings of Los Angeles, CA, private practice in Westchester, CA, and remote engagement with the Winstone Behavior Health Clinic in Torrance, CA. This multifaceted exposure allowed her to serve clients both in-person and through virtual platforms.

Dr. Thames’s professional expertise is firmly rooted in creating a therapeutic environment that fosters patient comfort, rapport, and trust. Together with her patients, she embarks on a collaborative journey, setting therapeutic objectives that empower them as active participants in their healing process. She specializes in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a scientifically proven approach that reshapes patterns of thought and behavior through the medium of talk therapy and structured assignments. Furthermore, she advocates for the incorporation of deep-breathing techniques to instill calmness in the body and the practice of mindfulness, which nurtures awareness of one's thoughts and emotions in the present moment.

With unwavering confidence, Dr. Ta-Taneisha Thames affirms that her treatment will lead to enhancements in your thought processes and behaviors, offering relief from stress and paving the way for you to lead an improved, enriched life. Her commitment lies in equipping you with the tools to navigate life's challenges on its own terms.
