Hello y Bienvenidos
Hello! I am Tabbie Marcella. I’m a therapist based in the Truckee/Tahoe area, offering in-person and online therapy to folks across California.
También ofrezco terapia en español y disfruto trabajar con personas y familias de habla hispana, conectando en el idioma en el que se sientan más cómodas.
My Approach
I take a trauma-informed, nervous-system aware approach to therapy. That means we move at your pace, prioritize emotional safety, and always center your sense of choice and control in the process.
​
I draw from a few core frameworks that shape my work:
Narrative Therapy
I help clients explore the stories they carry about themselves and their lives, and gently work toward creating narratives that feel more accurate, empowering, and compassionate.
Family Systems & Relational Therapy
I look at how relationships, family dynamics, and early experiences shape the way we connect, communicate, and protect ourselves. This work often includes understanding patterns rather than placing blame.
Trauma-Informed Therapy Practices
I approach trauma work with gentleness and care, focusing on safety, stabilization, and nervous system regulation before diving into deeper processing. You are always in control of the pace and depth of our work.
