Welcome!
You have taken the first step. The first step to change. The first step to show your strength. The first step to making a real change towards happiness, bliss, and unconditional love for yourself.
​
I discovered my purpose early in life. My intention to help others, do selfless service and listen to those who struggle with pain and suffering. I believe therapy is a reciprocal exchange. You are on a journey, and I am here to offer what I know, my experience (professional and personal), and support your growth.
​
I am highly trained in various modalities, clinically educated, and personally driven. Our time together is a safe place (online or in-person) to explore your beliefs, thoughts, and ways of being in a nonjudgmental, non-intrusive, and compassionate way.
What is mental wellness?

Hi, I'm Tonya Octave
Who I Am
​
I am a private practice licensed clinical social worker serving clients in and around Placentia, California, as well as online via HIPPA compliant software. As your therapist, it is my priority to create a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes growth and positive change, for you. I look forward to working with you in addressing your challenges and strengths. Therapy is a process that can move you toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the life you desire.
​
My Approach
​
I use a variety of approaches to address my patient’s individual and unique needs. Many successful treatment outcomes utilize a foundation of behavioral, cognitive, interpersonal, object relations, psychodynamic, relational psychotherapy, psychoeducational, play therapy, sand play, social constructionist theories, and treatment approaches. The focus is patient-centered and quickly moves toward a tailored treatment plan and approach. The eclectic foundations and tools sustain change and growth experienced in regular therapy.
