Great to meet you!

My name is Tanasia Betts and I am a licensed professional counselor.

My approach to therapy

Life doesn’t always turn out the way we imagined. Sometimes we carry grief—not just for loss, but for the life we hoped we’d have. I help people navigate that space with warmth, authenticity, and evidence-based practices tailored to your needs, pointing out patterns that keep you stuck and helping you focus on what truly matters for growth.

Here’s what working together looks like:

  • Real, authentic collaboration: We work together as partners, building trust, clarity, and strategies that honor your story, and your vision.
  • Challenge and encouragement: I’ll cheer you on, celebrate your wins, and challenge you when growth calls for it.
  • Faith and cultural alignment: Your identity and beliefs are part of the healing and growth process. They are honored and integrated, not ignored.
  • Evidence-based guidance: Every approach we take is rooted in proven strategies, personalized to what you need most.

I particularly enjoy supporting people of color from all nationalities, and Christian clients hold a special place in my heart. I work with people from many walks of life, and I’m deeply committed to creating a space where you feel respected, valued, and free to grow. My clients would tell you nothing is off limits and every part of them is welcomed into the therapy space.

You’re here on purpose. Let’s get started working on your goals today❗️

What you can expect from me

Not seeing a time that works this week? No problem. Book an appointment to hold your place, then send me two preferred evening times (between 6–10 PM). I often have additional availability that isn’t shown online and will do my best to accommodate you.

Taking the first step is simple—but powerful. Reaching out today means you’re choosing growth, clarity, and support. I’ll walk with you every step of the way—warmly, authentically, and with tools that work.

You’re worthy! You deserve to be emotionally and mentally healthy!
