I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist licensed in New Jersey with over 7 years of experience working as a Psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, teen issues and couple/relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. It's Your Time .
I look forward to working with you!

Tainesha is a very good therapist! She is knowledgeable and knows how to direct a conversation so the patient can draw out the consequences themselves. She is very respectful and moves at a pace that is comfortable with the patient.
Highly recommend!!

Tainesha is on point with listening to one's history and making critical connections to formulate a therapy targeted to the root of one's struggles. She is empathetic, down to earth and easy to be open and vulnerable with making you feel heard, respected and validated. I am glad I found her in this turbulent time in my life.
