About Me
I’m Tanya Samuelian, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Los Angeles. I know how overwhelming modern life can feel-holding it together for your career, relationships, and family often leaves little space for your own needs. Therapy offers a place to slow down, take an honest look at what’s going on beneath the surface, and begin building more sustainable ways of living.
My Experience & Education
I received my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from California Lutheran University and have spent nearly a decade supporting young adults, professionals, and couples. Many of the people I work with appear “together” on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or relationship stress. I specialize in helping high achievers untangle cycles of overthinking and reconnect with parts of themselves they’ve pushed aside.
My Approach
My style is collaborative, warm, and practical. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, and cognitive-behavioral tools, tailoring the process to fit your needs and pace. Sessions are structured enough to create progress but flexible enough to meet you where you are. Together, we’ll explore the patterns shaping your life, understand the “why” underneath them, and practice tools you can carry into your day-to-day.
How I Can Help
Whether you’re balancing the demands of a career, working through relationship challenges, or feeling weighed down by anxiety, therapy can be a grounding place to pause. I don’t believe in “fixing” you-I believe in helping you understand yourself more deeply, find language for your experience, and create shifts that feel doable and lasting. My hope is that you leave each session feeling a little more steady, less alone, and more connected to what truly matters to you.

03 · What happens next
Tanya practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Tanya's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Tanya at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Tanya is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Tanya.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

Tanya's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Tanya. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
