Orlee Tugend-Raymond , LMFT

Orlee Tugend-Raymond is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with more than 25 years of experience working with families, children, and couples. She has worked with a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, family dynamics, career transitions, caregiver stress, and coping with life changes. Her practice has also addressed issues such as grief, self-esteem, intimacy, eating concerns, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Raised in a Jewish background, she has supported clients seeking spiritual connection or a therapist who understands Jewish life, and she speaks fluent Hebrew for those who prefer to work in that language. Orlee is known for a warm, interactive counseling style and attentive listening. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels.

Her clinical toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She offers shorter-term, goal-oriented options for clients who prefer focused work as well as more exploratory approaches when deeper relational patterns are the focus. Treatment plans and dialogue are designed to address each client or family member's unique needs. Orlee recognizes that taking initial steps toward change takes courage and aims to empower clients as they pursue greater well-being and more satisfying relationships.
