About
Dr. Tselane
Dr. Tselane is a highly experienced community mental health clinician who has dedicated over a decade to providing compassionate care and support to individuals in need. With a background as a waivered psychologist (waivered psychologist means that a person with or in the process of obtaining a Psy.D. or Ph.D. allows them to be employed for up to five years to accrue the supervised professional experience required to sit for the licensing examination in California) for half of those years, Dr. Tselane has gained valuable expertise in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns.
As an advocate for holistic healing, Dr. Tselane has recently embarked on a new path, introducing Healing Hearts Christian Sound Bath Therapy. This innovative therapy, founded by Dr. Tselane herself, combines the power of sound therapy with a Christian approach to promote emotional well-being and spiritual growth. With Dr. Tselane as the primary sound therapy practitioner, clients can expect a unique and transformative experience that nurtures both their minds and souls. Dr. Tselane is dedicated to alleviating occupational burnout among service providers in high-stress careers, such as mental health professionals, medical personnel, law enforcement, emergency medical technicians, and firefighters. She aims to introduce them to the restorative benefits of Sound Bath Therapy to promote mental wellness and resilience in their demanding roles. Dr. Tselane's scripture foundation comes from 1 Samuel 16:23, "Whenever the evil spirit from God bothered Saul, David would play his harp. Saul would relax and feel better, and the evil spirit would go away."
In addition to her work in sound therapy, Dr. Tselane also offers Women's Life Coaching services tailored to meet the specific needs of all women, but particularly African American women. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by this community, Dr. Tselane provides a supportive and empowering environment where women can explore their goals, overcome obstacles, and unlock their full potential. Through personalized coaching sessions, she helps women navigate life's complexities, build resilience, and embrace their true selves.

With certifications as a Life Coach, Sexual Assault Crisis Counselor, Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), and expertise in addressing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder/Substance Use Disorders, she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to assist her clients. In addition, her clinical background includes proficiency in evidence-based practices such as Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These specialized approaches equip Coach Tselane with a diverse toolkit to help her clients navigate challenges and promote positive change.
