About Desiree

Healing happens when we feel safe and understood.

I am Desiree Tatarazuk (she/they), an MFT Trainee currently working in the East Bay. I support individuals, couples, and children in navigating life's complexities. My approach is relational — I believe healing happens when we feel safe and understood.

My goal is to support you in identifying your values and becoming intentional about the way you move through life. Whether you are moving through grief, anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship difficulties, I am here to listen with curiosity and care and help you find clarity.

I combine psychodynamic, existential, person-centered, and feminist approaches. As a highly sensitive person who has experienced challenges with relationships, anxiety, and self-esteem, I bring a deep understanding of the profound healing that comes from connection and acceptance.
