What does a typical session with you tend to look like?
An initial visit with me involves a medical history review, physical examination, and possibly diagnostic tests to evaluate a patient's health, identify issues, and develop a treatment plan.

During your initial telehealth visit with me, your well-being is my top priority. Our sessions typically begin with a comprehensive medical history review, ensuring that we have a clear understanding of your health background. We may conduct a thorough physical examination and, when necessary, utilize diagnostic tests to assess your condition. These steps allow us to identify any underlying issues and craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Your health and comfort are paramount, and I am here to provide you with the highest standard of care.

What does a typical session with you tend to look like?
Consultation: 15 minutes An opportunity for potential patients to discuss their concerns or needs with a provider, or therapist, to determine if their services are a good fit and to receive initial advice or guidance. Initial Visit: 80 minutes Involves a medical history review, physical examination, and possibly diagnostic tests to evaluate a patient's health, identify issues, and develop a treatment plan. Follow-up Visit: 60 minutes Involves checking the progress of the patient's treatment plan, assessing any new symptoms or concerns, and adjusting the treatment plan as needed to ensure optimal health outcomes. Vent Session: 30 minutes Sometimes you don’t need a therapist or life coach… sometimes you just need someone to listen to you vent! Schedule a vent session to let it all out!
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker with a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Houston in Texas. I am currently a Medical Case Manager Supervisor with 20 years of experience in IDD and physical impairment. I utilize a multidimensional approach to therapy, exploring each individual's biological, psychological, social, and spiritual needs. I desire to come alongside others to assist them in healing from trauma, building self-worth, improving communication in their relationships, and reaching their goals. I am an interactive, family-systems therapist. My therapeutic approach is to evaluate each person within their environment, provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

Therapy starts from the moment we say "hi" to one another. I'm a low-key, very chill person who loves to laugh and I think that helps clients feel comfy from the get-go. My clients typically say I make them feel comfortable without pressure. My office has a comfy sofa for clients to sit on and I'll sit across from you in a chair, and then we talk about how the week has been for you, what challenges you might be having, and work on what YOU want to work on. I usually jot down notes to remind me as you're talking points that I may want to go back to because my memory needs that boost. If we're in a virtual session, I work hard to reduce any distractions (we have 2 dogs!) and honor your time. As we start to wrap up our session, we'll talk about what you're looking forward to for the week and then set a goal to work towards. And that's a wrap!
20+ years of experience as a teacher, business owner, and mom, and now, as a therapist makes me uniquely qualified to help women and teenagers cope successfully with life's challenges. I have immense empathy for teens and women who feel alone, like they don't fit in, or are called "weird," and have worked with clients that suffered from ADHD, trauma and abuse, bullying, anxiety, depression, withdrawal, isolation, excessive absences, anger issues and recovered from the fallout of domestic violence, PTSD, and dysfunctional relationships. My passion is helping teens and women develop a stronger internal sense of self-love and self-appreciation to live a full and rewarding life.

During your first session, we’ll work on your intake paperwork & sign releases. Your first session will be 75 minutes to cover paperwork & get to know each other. This session will be a little longer to get a complete understanding of your needs & how I can help. Every session after will be 50 minutes, & I recommend in the beginning, we meet once a week for the first 9 weeks to keep up the momentum we see in session. Payment is collected at the beginning/end of your session via Credit Card or Cash.  In the next follow-up sessions, you will receive a link to click on during our appointment. Please log on a couple of minutes before our meeting time and hang out in my virtual waiting room. To make sure you have a good experience in person, please find a quiet room with the door closed, locked, and with no interruptions. Please make sure you are connected to the internet which helps us have a secure and clear connection. Let’s demystify therapy. You might have seen how T.V shows, and media portray therapy. You might even think that you come in, and you will have this person nodding at the other end, repeating what you say, and asking how that makes you feel? Ugh! That’s not was is going to happen. You know why you are here and ready to jump in. I know how to help you. It is pretty straightforward. We might talk about deep things that you are not prepared to talk about, how an employee/co-worker annoyed the crap out of you, or how frustrating it is to balance work and life sometimes. In the session, you are guiding the conversation, and my role is to be curious, emphatic/compassionate, and follow your lead. I work best with someone ready for change. I cannot change you; YOU are the only one that can change. I am here to support you in that charge. I spent many years dealing with shame, and my defense was if I keep moving, succeeding, and achieving, I can magically outrun the shame, right? Ha, that does not work! I have been in the pits of shame/anxiety and want to help you with the tools and skills I learned along the way, so you do not have to.  I am not your run-of-the-mill therapist. I am a weird, quirky, and cool therapist. I wholeheartedly jump in with compassion and grit to help you figure out what is blocking you from living the life you want. You might be wondering, does she know what she is doing? What life experience does she have? Let me answer your questions: I do know what I am doing. I love what I do, and I am pretty good at it.
Hi, I’m Tanya. I am a psychotherapist, but you can call me a loving, curious, exploratory, and playful cat or a heart-soul coach. Life is hard, I learned to be playful, and not take myself too seriously. I wholeheartedly believe in the importance of the healing journey.
