About me

Hello, I'm a licensed Professional Counselor based in Michigan. I have 21 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress, worry, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing to make sure you feel we are a good match. This will also help us to create a tailored plan for us to work through together in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have developed my ability to help individuals gain insight and self-awareness, identify the root cause of current challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I do well with clients whom are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often struggle with experiencing and accepting their own human emotions, feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their journey in life.

She was very intelligent, relatable, and easy to talk to. I never felt rushed or pressured to share anything before I was ready, which made me feel very comfortable. She also shared some similar life experiences that helped me feel understood and less judged. I truly appreciated how natural and welcoming the conversation felt. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a therapist who is compassionate, understanding, and easy to connect with.

Tisha was wonderful I was able to open up to her about things I’ve never been able to say aloud. She has such a warm and supportive spirit.

I was having several life-changing events occur in my life all at once. I decided to search for a therapists. I came across Watisha‘s profile & the reviews were compelling & at a price that I could afford. I love the fact that she gave me the option at the very beginning to move onto someone else if I did not feel she was a good fit. She is very honest, bold, confident, and overall real, you can feel her compassion in her spirit. She also gives great solutions that you can apply to real life.
