Hello, I'm Tannia, a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional with a deep understanding of the challenges and pain that individuals with anxiety face. With five years of experience specifically in treating anxiety, I am here to support you on your journey toward finding relief and regaining control of your life. I acknowledge the overwhelming fear, constant worry, and the impact anxiety has on your daily activities and relationships. Together, we will work to develop effective coping strategies, explore the root causes of your anxiety, and foster a more peaceful and fulfilling life. You don't have to face this alone; I'm here to provide a safe and empathetic space for you to heal and thrive.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we will begin by getting to know each other. We will discuss your specific concerns and experiences with anxiety, as well as any goals you have for therapy. I will listen attentively and ask relevant questions to gain a deeper understanding of your unique situation. We will collaborate to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. By the end of the first session, we aim to establish a strong therapeutic relationship and set a foundation for our work together. You can expect a safe and supportive space where we will start your journey towards anxiety relief and reclaiming your life. You have taken a very positive step by seeking therapy. The outcome depends largely on your willingness to participate and engage in this process, which may sometimes result in discomfort. Remembering unpleasant events and becoming aware of feelings attached to those events can bring on intense feelings of anger, depression, anxiety, etc. There are no miracle cures. I cannot promise that your behavior or circumstances will change. I can promise to support you and do my very best to understand you, repeat patterns in your experience, and help you clarify what you want for yourself.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As an anxiety therapist, my greatest strengths are empathy, compassion, and a deep understanding of the challenges individuals facing anxiety encounter. I create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable expressing their fears and vulnerabilities. I offer valuable insights and effective strategies to help clients cope with their symptoms. With strong communication skills, I actively listen, validate, and provide guidance during their recovery journey. I am committed to ongoing professional development to provide the best possible care. My strengths lie in connecting with clients, offering hope, and empowering them to overcome anxiety and regain control of their lives.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with Women who are bravely battling anxiety, and often battle through constant feelings of dread and worry that distort the ability to experience joy and peace, crippling panic attacks that leave them feeling helpless and out of control, and the strain anxiety puts on relationships, leading to isolation and loneliness. I understand the toll anxiety can take on one's self-esteem, inhibiting their ability to pursue personal and professional goals. I am here to provide a supportive and compassionate space where we can work together to alleviate these struggles, develop effective coping strategies, and empower you to reclaim your life from the grip of anxiety. Together, we will navigate through the darkest moments of anxiety, helping you find strength, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope.
