Anthem Therapists in Florida

I’m an open-minded Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) originally from New York, now practicing in Florida. I hold a Specialist degree (Ed.S.) from Seton Hall University and bring over eight years of experience to the field of mental health. I specialize in working with young adults and adults who are navigating the lasting effects of trauma. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in creating a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow, and reconnect with your sense of self. Together, we’ll work to transform pain into resilience, helping you step into the strongest, most authentic version of yourself. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to take the next step, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and empowerment.

I have over 16 years of clinical management, regulatory compliance, and consulting experience in behavioral healthcare systems-both public and private. When treating patients, I take on an eclectic approach and tailor sessions to each individual and situation. I firmly believe in engaging the patient, family, and/or organization in order to develop a therapeutic relationship that can be life long and rewarding in the recovery process. Helping patients find their path to a better life is my passion in a confidential setting.

Welcome. I'm Tanya, and I'm here to help you feel seen, heard, and supported. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or weighed down by past experiences? Do you find yourself repeating patterns you’re ready to break—or struggling to cope with daily stress, trauma, or emotional pain? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate this on your own. My clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, intuitive, and deeply present. They’ve said things like, "She helps me think in ways I never have before," and "Working with Tanya has been life-changing—it saved my life." What sets my approach apart is the strong, trusting connection I build with my clients. That therapeutic bond is the foundation of the meaningful work we’ll do together. I take an eclectic, client-centered approach to therapy—drawing from multiple evidence-based methods to tailor your care to your unique needs. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, and Schema Therapy, among others. Our work together will focus on: Gaining insight into patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you Learning healthy ways to cope with stress, anxiety, or trauma Building resilience and emotional regulation skills Processing pain and fostering healing in a safe, nonjudgmental space Creating sustainable change for a more empowered, fulfilling life Therapy can be life-changing—and it starts with a conversation. I’d be honored to support you on your path toward healing and growth.

I am deeply committed to supporting individuals across all stages of life as they navigate complex emotional and mental health challenges. My experience working with diverse age groups has given me a profound appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit, whether guiding young clients through developmental struggles, assisting adults in overcoming life transitions, or helping seniors find meaning and peace. I integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches with compassionate, person-centered care, fostering a safe space for healing and growth.
