Licensed since 2010, practicing for 10 years

am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience helping individuals and couples. I enjoy working with clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma disorders, relationship issues, mood difficulties, and life transitions.

I bring an integrative approach to my practice, as I believe in taking into account the unique ways that my clients view the world. I use a variety of treatment approaches to help my clients understand their own thoughts and behavior and how these may be influenced by their personal experiences and history. I believe that changing a difficult situation starts with self-compassion, acceptance, understanding and empowerment.

I would be a good match for anyone looking for a female, culturally-competent therapist. My training and personal experiences with social and cultural intersectionality also make me a good match for those who are in need of support that is free of judgement or persecution. I especially welcome those who represent the LGBTQ-IA community, all individuals navigating complicated family and romantic relationships, and those in need of support navigating issues of sexual health.

Thank you for choosing to work with me. I will make it my mission to help you to realize your full potential, so that you may live your best life as you define it.

Tarnisha was absolutely fantastic. When I started I could see a path to recovery. She helped me chart that course and maneuver in a way that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own.

Ms Gordon has been amazing. She has been very fair and also insightful. She has gently called me out on my own self deception and has been patient with me on it but also has kind of opened my eyes to things other counselors have not.

She is the best of the best. Wouldn't be where I am in my life right now without her. She has helped me tremendously and I feel like myself after years of self-doubt.

Tarnisha is very good at getting me, and allowing me, to write honestly and in detail about what concerns me and the things in my past that bother me. She asks thought-provoking questions and is incredibly quick with her responses. I feel that she reads my very long messages very carefully, which I very much appreciate.
