Tanner Riley

Hi I'm Tanner! I have been in the field counseling clients since 2019. I am a proud Penn State alum and I have a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from California University (PA). I specialize in work around autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression and trauma. If you are looking for someone who can empathize with life-altering medical diagnoses and transplant I can relate on a personal level and may be a good fit to help you adjust, process and continue pushing forward. As for me, I'm a bit of a nerd myself, and enjoy Marvel, Star Wars, reading, gaming, and writing but you can also find me watching lots of football.

I have always operated under the philosophy that I am here for you. I like to think of as if we are both on a road trip together. You are in the driver's seat, and I'm your GPS, guiding you on this journey. We don't know how far we have to go or how long it will take, but we'll get there together. As for how I run my sessions, I specialize in CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Strength-Based, and Motivational Interviewing.

For the first session, I like to do a little getting to know you and understanding where you are in your mental health journey. Game planning and developing a plan for treatment is key in this first session so we can have a road map to follow. I highly encourage practicing mindfulness and learning what we can turn into healthy coping skills.
