Great to meet you!

I’m Tanisha, a warm and empathetic therapist who specializes in working with adolescents and young adults, including LGBTQ+ clients. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, family challenges, and emotional regulation. With experience in residential, IOP, and PHP settings, along with training in EMDR and DBT, I bring both compassion and practical tools to therapy. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and direct. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can be yourself, feel understood, and explore what’s getting in the way of living the life you want. I use approaches such as DBT and EMDR to help clients manage emotions, build coping skills, and work through difficult experiences. I tailor therapy to each client’s needs and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy. We’ll discuss your concerns, goals, and what you hope to get from therapy. I’ll explain how I work and answer any questions you may have. Most importantly, you can expect a supportive, judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself.
