Hi, I’m so glad you are here! I’m Kamila Tan, an associate clinical social worker and psychotherapist. I’m absolutely thrilled to team up with the expert clinicians at re+active to provide the best comprehensive care possible for our clients.

 

My passion for psychology began as an elite-level athlete when I competed on the NCAA Division I beach volleyball team at UCLA. I came to learn the value and necessity of mental resilience as it relates to physical performance, and learned that the mind and body are inextricably related. In my own journey of finding mental and physical balance, I have overcome anorexia nervosa and functional neurological disorder, and so I use both my clinical expertise and an empathetic personal experience to inform my practice.

 

My educational background includes a BA in Psychology from UCLA, a master’s degree in Public Health (MPH) from UCLA, and a master’s degree in Social Work (MSW) from USC. My clinical experience has been facilitated in private practice settings and treatment centers with a focus on psychotherapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups.

 

In the therapy space, my goal is to provide a safe, warm, and judgment-free space for clients to bring forward any challenge or circumstance they feel the need to process through. My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in compassion, empathy, open-mindedness, and developing a trusting relationship. I strive to help clients to increase self awareness, identify their own innate resilience and strengths, and thus empower them to create meaningful transformation in their lives.

 

There is always hope for healing.

 

When I’m not working, you’ll find me playing professional beach volleyball and traveling, engaging with friends, playing with my two kittens, or lounging in a chair with a book or a good movie on. I equally love engaging in communities that are meaningful to me, and relishing alone time.

 

I can’t wait to be a part of your healing journey!
