About Tieaesha
Tieaesha Gaines is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people strengthen self esteem and cope with stress and anxiety. She draws on 23 years of clinical experience in California to support people dealing with relationship strain, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach centers on listening first and building practical skills together.
She aims to create an open space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that undermine confidence and testing small, doable changes. The work is practical and paced to each person’s comfort level.
Tieaesha uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based methods. These tools are used to address shame, guilt, communication problems, and lingering effects of past trauma.
She also helps people navigate non-traditional relationship styles and sexual expression, and she addresses cultural stressors and discrimination. Topics such as codependency, jealousy, polyamory or alternative sex culture are included in her practice when relevant to the person.
Tieaesha emphasizes collaboration: she and the person work together to set goals and try concrete steps toward them. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through the process.
