Meet Tanasha

My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
  • How to bring both professional training and lived experience into the therapy space in a grounded, ethical way.

  • The long and often nonlinear process of healing from trauma, including surviving abuse and rebuilding a relationship with oneself over time.

  • The importance of honoring the pace and individuality of healing, shaped by firsthand knowledge that insight alone is not enough—lasting change comes from consistent, intentional work.

  • The power of personal stories, and what it means to carry experiences that are invisible to others while continuing to show up for family, work, and community.

  • The value of accountability, structure, and tradition in healing, alongside emotional depth and self-compassion.

  • The complex impacts of trauma, chronic stress, relational wounds, and identity-based pressures on both adults and youth.

  • The experiences of those who had to grow up quickly, learned survival before safety, and are now ready to move from endurance into intention.

  • Healing as a process that unfolds not through shortcuts, but through honest work, steady support, and the courage to face oneself with clarity and care.

My cultural or ancestral background is…
  • Shaped by Black Caribbean descent and the intergenerational resilience that comes with it.

  • Informed by an awareness of how history, culture, and systemic realities influence identity, family roles, and mental health.

  • Attuned to the impacts of racialized stress, expectations of strength, migration narratives, and the unspoken pressures often placed on Caribbean and Black families.

  • Approached with respect rather than assumption, honoring cultural values, traditions, and collective responsibility.

  • Grounded in a commitment to gently challenging patterns that no longer serve healing, while preserving what offers meaning and strength.

  • Understood as an anchor—supporting the work of healing as clients move forward with intention, clarity, and self-trust.

My clients describe me using words like…
  • Grounded, compassionate, transparent, direct, and consistent.

  • Safe but not permissive.

  • Calm, steady, and reassuring.

  • Warm yet structured.

  • Encouraging and steady.

  • Respectful and attuned.

My clients often self-identify as…
  • Individuals navigating the lasting impact of trauma, chronic stress, or relational wounds.

  • People who have spent years being strong for others, including caregivers, parents, professionals, or youth who learned early how to survive rather than feel.

  • Individuals seeking clarity and stability, along with a deeper understanding of themselves and their internal world.

  • Those experiencing identity shifts, boundary challenges, and people-pleasing patterns.

  • Individuals carrying the weight of unprocessed experiences, now ready to move from coping toward intentional, sustainable healing.

I’m the right therapist for you if…
  • You are ready to do honest work that is not rushed, not performative, but real.

  • You are willing to examine patterns that no longer serve you and take responsibility for your healing, even when the process feels uncomfortable.

  • You value structure, consistency, and transparency in the therapeutic relationship.

  • You want a space that balances compassion with accountability, offering support while still encouraging growth.

  • You are tired of surviving and ready to build a grounded, intentional relationship with yourself.

  • You are seeking clarity, self-respect, and sustainable change, rather than quick fixes or surface-level relief.

Booking FAQ

Does Tanasha offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?

First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.

How do I know if Tanasha is a good fit?

You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.

What if I see no available times to book a session?

If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
