Tanishia is a perfect match for me. She has a comforting demeanor, not pushy but not a pushover. She is pleasant, professional and personable. She has a talent with making you feel very comfortable, but also backs it up with insightful knowledge.

From the first meeting I felt there was a connection of understanding and rapport. I've talked to a few other therapists and none have been able to make me feel listened to. I look forward to each session to discover more about myself and my world.
