I'm so happy that you reached out for help. I am Taneisha Riley. Since childhood and into my professional career, I have always held one thing above all, helping people navigate through difficult circumstances and situations—finding solutions that help the average person live with greater purpose and fulfillment. This quest to change lives is what pushed me into the field of counseling. It is not enough to merely treat the body, if the mind is still off-balance. My treatment regimen is holistic—attending to your mental, and emotional well-being. I can also be of service if you are seeking marital and/or couples counseling and Christian counseling.
Clients should expect to be given an introduction and to give an introduction about themselves including their family of origin, work and/or academic life, hobbies and interests, inspirations and passions, current relationships and relationship history, spiritual beliefs, and areas of concern for seeking counseling. In addition they should expect questions and to give honest answers to aid in assessment of counseling needs and risks.
I am a problem solver and a solutions driven counselor. I am uniquely gifted and skilled to help my clients identify the root cause of their problems then take action to resolve them.
My dream clients are those who are ready for change, ready to accept responsibility, and ready to be accountable for their actions to change and become better versions of themselves.
I utilize cognitive behavioural therapy to help my clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and reaction to help inspire them to change to improve their well-being.
I utilize solution focused brief treatment to help clients identify their desire outcome then identify the work they need to achieve their goals.
I utilize reality therapy to help my clients identify if what they are doing is actually helping them reach their goal to inspire self-reflection and necessary actions.
I utilize biblical based ideologies and principles to help those clients who desire Christian counseling and want to be guided by scripture to address underlying areas of concern.
I utilize motivational interviewing to gather information and assess stage of change clients with hopes to get them to take action to improve their situations and lives
