Hi, I’m Tyisha, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, ACS) serving New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I’ve spent over 20 years in the mental health and developmental disabilities field, and honestly, this work is personal for me. I truly care about helping people get back to who they are at their core. My approach is real, person-centered, and focused on the here and now. I’m big on self-identity—learning how to see yourself differently, redefining your value, and getting comfortable with who you are as a whole. Not just who the world says you should be. We’ll work together to identify triggers—whether it’s relationships, parenting, depression, grief, sexuality, or just life feeling overwhelming. I use an eclectic approach, even tapping into your five senses, to help you slow things down, process what’s really going on, and respond in a healthier way. This is your space. Sessions are built for you, by you—I’m just here to guide, support, and challenge your thinking in a way that helps you grow. If you’re ready to do the work and show up for yourself, I’m here with you every step of the way.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’re getting straight to it. Smile—what brought you here and who you are at your core. Because if you don’t know your value, everything else feels off. We’ll focus on the here and now—not avoiding it, not sugarcoating it. We’ll identify what’s triggering you, challenge the thought patterns that are keeping you stuck, and build coping strategies that actually work in real life. We’ll also take a hard look at how your experiences and worldview have shaped you—and more importantly, how to redefine that so you can show up for yourself differently. This is about getting honest, getting grounded, and getting back to you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I’m real, I listen, and I’m going to be honest with you—but always with compassion. My style is person-centered and eclectic, because while many of us share similar experiences, we all see and process life through different lenses. I create a space where you can show up as you are—no judgment, just real conversations and cultural understanding. I bring patience, a little humor when needed, and a deep respect for your story. Trust and confidentiality matter to me. My goal is for you to feel safe, seen, and empowered every step of the way.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
"I take an eclectic approach to theoretical orientations, drawing from multiple frameworks to meet each client’s unique needs. However, Person-Centered theory remains a cornerstone of my practice due to its emphasis on personal growth and the development of healthy, authentic relationships. This approach supports self-realization and reflection, helping clients to re-structure their moods and thought patterns in a more constructive and empowering way."

Tyisha is very direct and intentional! She made me realize things that I never considered on only our first session. She asks you challenging questions and makes you think! She is good at putting the pieces together for you! Highly recommend.
