About Teva
Owner, Licensed Therapist
Hello, I’m Teva—Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice in California.
The current focus of my work is OCD, anxiety, and related compulsive disorders. I receive regular supervision in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy from an expert clinician and professor in NYC.
I have worked with adults and children for approximately ten years in a variety of settings, specializing in Maternal Child Mental Health. Additionally, I have supported many men and fathers with therapy and parent training.
I enjoy mentoring early career therapists and provide clinical supervision to pre-licensed Associates. Scroll down to learn more about my education and experience.
