My name is Dr. Tsoline Konialian. I am a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist (CA Lic. PSY19955) with two offices conveniently located in the San Gabriel Valley area of Southern California. I work with children, adolescents, and adults to assess, manage, and treat cognitive, emotional, mood, or behavior difficulties. If trauma is getting in the way of your happiness, you might find that you cannot fix it alone. Call me. Let me help you unlock the trauma bonds that are preventing you from living a happy, healthy existence.

Everyone seeks the feeling of being understood and accepted, but sometimes we become comfortable with being unhappy. As a therapist, my goal is to provide empathy, support, safety, and cultural sensitivity. I will assist in helping you work through various issues to achieve a more productive approach to the way you think, make decisions, and relate to others. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and I strive to create an environment that allows for authenticity, support, and trust between us.

I specialize in working with dually diagnosed individuals and their families with severe and persistent mental illnesses, such as Polysubstance Dependence, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder with Psychotic Features, Bipolar Disorder, and Acute Anxiety Disorders. I have always had a special interest in working with family and couples, especially where one or both suffer from severe mental illness. I am on staff at several local inpatient and outpatient mental health facilities, and help facilitate hospital admissions in a sensitive and professional manner. I offer individual and family community interventions as needed. I also help professionals coping with workplace stress.

I primarily work with leaders and their family members to find healthy work/life rhythms, manage stress, heal from trauma, and develop strategies for health. As a pastor and licensed clinical psychologist (PSY35006), I work with individuals, couples, adolescents, and children who are facing varying challenges in life to find pathways through pain and into healing, growth, and vitality.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I believe that a collaborative therapeutic relationship that incorporates all aspects of the client's life is key. I view therapy as a journey of self-discovery, and personal growth. I view my role as a facilitator of change, and it is my goal to assist client's in becoming their own facilitators of their personal change. I believe my strengths include an ability to build a strong rapport that helps client to feel empowered to meet their desired goals.
