More about Tanya

  • 17 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I bring 17 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating compassionate, culturally responsive spaces for healing across diverse populations. I specialize in addressing depression, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and self-esteem development.

My therapeutic approach embraces a holistic perspective, focusing on issues ranging from social anxiety and isolation to workplace stress, interpersonal challenges, and life transitions. I am particularly committed to supporting women, young adults, and individuals navigating multicultural experiences and systemic challenges.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I offer a warm, empathetic approach that honors each client's unique journey. Whether you're struggling with communication barriers, processing traumatic experiences, or seeking personal growth, I aim to provide supportive guidance that empowers you to develop resilience and meaningful strategies for well-being.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
