Honest Conversations and True Healing is my mission! Hello, My name is Tanasha Hooks I'm a licensed psychotherapist and owner of Emotional Wealth and Wellness PLLC. I currently hold the following certificates and licenses - MA, LCHMC, LCASA, NCC, and CCMHC. My clinical expertise consists of several years of working in mental health, substance abuse and healthcare. I have worked in agency settings and private practice settings which has given me the tools to provide therapy for a diverse range of clients. My experience includes adolescents and adults from all walks of life with mental health and substance use issues. I strive to continue to learn to ensure that my clients are given the best therapy I can provide. Change is not always easy, and making that decision change is scary, but it is worth it. What are those things that are keeping you from living the life that you always dreamed of? We will go on a journey of self-discovery, healing and empowerment that it will take to get you there. This therapeutic experience is all about you! You deserve to be the best version of yourself, ready to get started?
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session I will ask you first, what going on in real time. While intake and gathering clinical information is important is it equally as important to check on your needs in real time and start to feel better from our first encounter. I want to create an environment that is calm, relaxed and feels familiar and a safe space to tell your truths. All I ask is you come as exactly who you are and ready to work.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My therapeutic approach is holistic and culturally competent. I have a cognitive behavioral/social learning perspective and I use a variety of evidenced-based techniques (i.e., cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused brief therapy, mindfulness, person-centered and "talk" therapy) because no two individuals are the same.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My passion is providing excellent clinical services which I deliver in a warm, compassionate setting. I aim to teach you the skills you need to overcome the limitations you are facing so you can go on to lead a productive life. Let's start your goals today! My goal is to create an environment where people feel heard and appreciated. Building a strong therapeutic alliance is vital to skill building and experiencing a reduction in symptoms. *If you would like to book and do not see an available time slot that fits your needs, please reach out to me at 980-999-0626 and I will be happy to accommodate you the best I can for weekends and evenings.
