Dr. Tos began working with children to learn communication, behavioral, and social skills. Her clinical training included Partial Hospital Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient programs (IOP) focusing on anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, OCD and substance use. She has worked in community mental health agencies, school districts, university counseling centers, higher education and private practices.

Dr. Tos utilizes an integrated approach when working with clients. Her exploration and insights are grounded in a psychodynamic understanding and she is particularly attuned to the experiences of marginalized populations whose backgrounds often shape the foundation of their lives. Dr. Tos incorporates skill-based interventions from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Her work is trauma-focused and deeply informed by feminist multicultural ideology. Dr. Tos applies a person-centered framework that emphasizes the intersections of identity, systemic influences, and lived experiences. She adopts a holistic lens, addressing both the symptoms clients face and the broader systems that impact their well-being, fostering empowerment and healing.

As an immigrant, Dr. Tos understands the barriers that block access for marginalized populations to therapy and her goal is to provide holistic therapeutic services and encourage clients to bring their authentic self to sessions. Resistance and authenticity are part of Dr. Tos’s growth and consciousness, she believes that we have a lot more power than we are made to realize. She is passionate about working with Black/immigrant women, students, and clients navigating life transitions, grief, anxiety/depression and more.

Outside of her clinical work you can find Dr. Tos repotting a new plant, spending time with her friends and family, and traveling to a new place.
