Tatiana was an amazing. I have nothing but good things to say about how she helped me deal with my stress, anxiety, and depression. She not only listened to me, but gave me tools to help myself outside of our sessions. I looked forward to each of our sessions because I knew that I would end it feeling lighter. My school allows us three sessions with a therapist, and I would have continued by sessions with Tatiana if I could.
More about Tatiana

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over twenty years of experience in the social services field across a range of mental health settings. My approach is Integrative and one of my primary objectives is to create a warm and supportive environment where your strengths will be used to foster motivation toward achieving your goals. I believe therapeutic intervention begins when one finds themselves at a crossroads, wanting to make a change; it then moves forward from there. My experience includes working with adults, adolescents, and children on communication issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, academic underachievement, transitions, personal growth, behavioral issues, gender, and self-identity issues (to name a few). Additionally, I also work with clients who identify as spiritual or religious. I use an integrative approach, teaching clients various tools and techniques to manage anxiety, reduce depression, and maintain more satisfying relationships.
I am a child of Caribbean immigrants and I grew up in a single-parent household. I experienced firsthand the issues affecting low-income, minority, and underserved populations. I also experienced a lack of education regarding mental health services in both my family and community at large and saw how this lead to misinformation and stigma regarding accessing such services. This developed into a personal commitment to promoting culturally informed and responsible mental health care services. Becoming a clinical social worker provided me with the opportunity to work toward this goal. Helping others access mental health services, as well as grow and develop, is something I am truly passionate about and view as my calling in life.
Making the initial move to speak with a professional about any challenges one is facing is both a courageous and monumental step! Reaching out for help can be one of the hardest things to do. Moreover, navigating one’s schedule, finances, insurance benefits, and the various types of mental health professionals available can be an intimidating process. It is a great privilege when a client provides me with the opportunity to be a part of their therapeutic growth and development process. My main focus is to foster a respectful therapeutic relationship that will engage you in a safe, interactive, relational, and experiential process at your own personal pace.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
