About me

As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. My practice centers on creating affirming, compassionate spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and those experiencing grief or significant life changes.

My approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients explore their experiences, build resilience, and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being. With a commitment to cultural responsiveness, I strive to honor diverse identities and lived experiences.

Through collaborative and empathetic counseling, I support clients in developing stronger self-understanding, healthier relationship patterns, and more effective coping mechanisms. Whether you're working through family dynamics, processing grief, or exploring personal identity, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with genuine care and professional expertise.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tanaya Reid. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I would highly recommend my therapist to anyone looking for someone compassionate, understanding, and easy to talk to. I really appreciate how openly we’re able to communicate and how comfortable she makes me feel expressing myself without fear of judgment.

She has given me such helpful advice and coping tools for managing my emotions and everything I’m going through. One thing I truly value is how validated and supported she makes me feel during our sessions and honestly, it feels like talking to a trusted friend in a safe space.

On top of that, her flexible schedule and thoughtful check-ins show how much she genuinely cares about her clients. I’m very grateful for her support and guidance.
