Tanya Parnes

Welcome! It's so nice to meet you! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) from Florida with over 15 years of experience helping people create lasting changes in their lives. My approach is a combination of solution focused, narrative and cognitive behavioral therapies used to help you identify strengths you already possess within to find solutions to things that are holding you back from achieving your goals.

Therapy is a giant step, and I am thrilled to be on this journey with you! Let's work together to figure out those answers you've been searching for but haven't yet found.

When I work with clients, I focus on making sure they feel understood and heard. I help create a therapeutic environment based on mutual respect and trust. Life is tough enough, sometimes you just need someone to listen and be a sounding board. Other times, you find yourself stuck and cannot find a way out. I specialize in helping people identify those answers and solutions that allow them to move forward to a happier space in their lives. We work together to break unhealthy habits, and to change that old way of thinking to make room for personal growth.

I really enjoy Session 1 where I get to know a client, learn their story, hear their challenges, and gain a glimpse of their future hopes, expectations and goals. There is no specific pace at which a client is "supposed" to move so I meet people where they are at. Some know exactly what they want while others are still figuring it out. Session 1 is all about setting the groundwork for where they want to go and each session beyond that builds upon the last, meeting the client where they are at that time in their life!
