More about Tanya
- 8 years' experience

- LCSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma, I help clients navigate complex emotions and find their way toward healing and self-compassion.
My approach is grounded in understanding the deep impact of grief, anger, and past wounds. I specialize in helping clients work through trauma and abuse, while also addressing the isolation, shame, and guilt that often accompany these experiences. I believe in the power of forgiveness—both toward others and, most importantly, toward yourself.
I'm committed to creating a therapeutic space that honors your identity, values, and lived experience. I work with clients who are seeking a therapist who shares their perspective and understands their world. My goal is to help you reconnect with your sense of self-worth and build a life rooted in genuine self-love and resilience.
I'm here to walk alongside you with honesty, respect, and genuine care as you move through your healing journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
