Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me – sometimes just getting this far can be a lot of work, and I understand that. My name is Caron Trataris, and I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist/LMFT. I work primarily with adults. Many of my clients engage therapy because they are experiencing emotional pain or may be feeling overwhelmed, either by symptoms of anxiety or depression, resulting in a limited ability to connect with others, or realize opportunities for personal growth. In session I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based approach to help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. Examining a client’s physical response to external stressors lends to the integration of mindfulness techniques to cultivate moments of calm, replacing a reactive response with the space necessary for thoughtful interpretation in the face of change. I hold 3 master’s degrees, a Master of Science in Counseling, Marriage, Child and Family Therapy from University of Phoenix-Pasadena, CA, as well as a Master of Science in Psychology and an MBA, also from University of Phoenix. I look forward to our journey, let me know if I can be of service.

17 years offering treatment
I am a California-licensed mental health professional with 17 years of experience. I provide telehealth services to adult clients throughout the state. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family conflicts, and workplace stress. My approach: My therapeutic approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, often incorporating a blend of different therapeutic approaches. The goal is to support clients in recognizing and transforming unhelpful thought patterns, managing intense emotions, fostering self-awareness, and focusing on achievable goals. My communication style is calm, personable, and authentic. I strive to make my clients feel comfortable discussing anything with me. I take pride in creating a safe, therapeutic environment that encourages self-expression. Although BetterHelp offers therapy via live video, telephone, and live chat, I do not provide therapy via live chat at this time. I strongly encourage scheduling live video or phone sessions, as these formats foster better rapport and maximize the value of your subscription. Therapeutic Goals: I work collaboratively with my clients to develop therapeutic goals. I believe that, as the client, you are the expert on your life; therefore, goal setting must be a collaborative effort. The process begins with an assessment phase, where I get to know you and introduce you to the therapy process. Together, we’ll work toward achieving your goals and tracking your progress along the way. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier version of you and to take the first step towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. NOTE TO KAISER PERMANENTE PLAN HOLDERS: Unfortunately, I am currently unable to accept clients covered under Kaiser Permanente health plans. This policy applies even if you are paying out of pocket and not using your Kaiser Permanente health plan to cover BetterHelp services (e.g., paying out of pocket).
