Review №1

Anxiety and depression has been a part of my vocabulary for about 8 years now. And not just vocab - at times it has taken over my life itself. When I first came to Tanya my mental health was at an all time low: it was so bad I couldnt get out of bed or even practice basic self care and ended up having to quit my job because of it. And then I started EMDR and I was able to connect why I feel the things I do now linked to traumatic events in the past and able to start moving and releasing energy connected with it. With Tanya I didnt feel like I was a burden or asking too many questions or being judged. With Tanya I felt seen. With Tanya I felt an instant connection and knew that I could trust her, receive support from her, and knew that no matter what happened that at the end of the day she just wanted me to be my best self. I was able to learn ways to handle my anxiety and depression so I could be a functioning person again. I am truly grateful for every single session we had, whether it was as big as a breakthrough or as small as a vent sesh. Anxiety and depression may be in my vocabulary but it doesnt have to rule my life. Thank you Tanya.

I began working with Tanya over a year ago after having sought her out specifically for her expertise in helping clients with trauma through EMDR. As a stay at home parent of kids with complex needs of the emotional and mental variety, I had been on the edge of burn-out and felt a complete loss of identity beyond my care-giving role. My attempts at self-care and taking breaks werent working. Tanya really helped me work through a lot of trauma that had resulted from difficult parenting moments and also my own childhood. She also validated my feelings which I so needed. I often struggle with guilting myself over feeling certain ways about my situation and life circumstances. This just had me spinning in place. Through validating my experience and pain and helping me work through it specifically with EMDR, I find myself in a better place, not being triggered all the time and able to function better for myself and my family.Tanya is just the right amount of professional, empathetic, caring and direct. I can trust her. I dont ever feel I have to hold back--she somehow always maintains a space of non-judgement and patience for me. She is so consistent with this, I realize I may take it for granted. But that is the ideal therapist, is it not? I am so glad I stopped putting off taking care of my mental health and that I hit it out of the park by choosing to reach out to Tanya over other therapists.I definitely recommend Tanya to others as a therapist and EMDR practitioner. Dont put it off and give her a call.

I have been working with Tanya for many months now. She has done EMDR and somatic therapy with me to work through some past traumatic experiences, and has been a great sounding board through religious issues as well. She is so compassionate, understanding, very wise, and non-judgmental. She helped me realize where I was holding pain in my body, so therapy with her even helped me with some medical issues that I didnt know were actually emotional pain. I did all of this work with her remotely through the pandemic but also as I ended up moving to another state, I continued therapy with no interruption. I have even been talking to friends who live nowhere near her to call her when they need help, and at least one has come back saying Tanyas work has been life-changing for her. Tanya is a true healer. You wont be sorry that you called her. Thank you, Tanya. ❤🙏

I started therapy with Tanya almost a year ago. Her calm presence and thoughtful approach have been immensely helpful. I wouldn’t have been able to start on an impactful, healing journey without her. It was important to me to find someone that was not only very knowledgeable, but spoke from the heart and has a great sense of humor. Tanya is that and so much more! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I truly appreciate Tanya’s unique approach to new clients. She provides a consult phone call which allowed for some gained insight. Hearing her voice and listening to her approach before meeting her was incredibly helpful. Her “intake” process is more thorough than any therapist I have previously been to which made me feel confident that with her assistance I would be able to work through a lot of what is holding me back. Sessions with Tanya never feel forced. She is always supportive and open. I have chosen EMDR as my primary form of therapy and I love it and how helpful it has been. With that said, I never feel obligated to do work if I am not feeling up for it. Tanya has provided other options when in session and has also provided me with great out of therapy resources. I would recommend Tanya to anyone that is ready to buckle down and do their work and move forward.

I not only benefitted greatly from working with Tanya, I enjoyed it as well. Tanya offers a comfortable, inspiring space to explore the inner and outer journey of life. She listens and offers a wise, grounded perspective. Tanyas expertise with EMDR was extremely helpful for me in discovering new pathways of understanding, self-knowledge, self-acceptance and compassion. I think its rare to find someone that can gently guide us to find the answers that we intuitively know, but have somehow forgotten; Tanya guides with professionalism, kindness and wisdom, and she has helped me to continue my journey with confidence, love, and peace.

Review №14

I had read about EMDR therapy for several years and after a few significant experiences that I was struggling to process “logically,” I sought out an experienced EMDR practitioner, and did I find a good one! In a professional yet comfortable, casual setting, Tanya has facilitated for me (via EMDR and a few other modalities) an unloading and subsequent “reconfiguring” of emotional experiences that were wreaking havoc on my physical body. Tanya’s years of experience can be felt the minute you plop down in the chair across from her. She’s done this A LOT and knows how to help willing clients like me get to the root of their concerns. With Tanya’s help, I’ve come to recognize the fluidity of experience on both mind AND body, and am increasingly aware of the potential physical impacts of ineffectively processing intense emotional experiences and the thoughts that accompany them. I am incredibly grateful for her compassionate approach to therapy and for the work we’ve done together.
