I am TJ Gorman and I have been working as a therapist since 2001. However, I have worked in the field of mental health for over 20 years. I began working in inpatient mental health as an intake worker and then worked with the homeless providing case management and outreach. I started my counseling profession in the field of substance abuse and gambling. After completing my masters degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling from Drake University in 2007, I continued to enhance my therapy skills and furthered my knowledge in trauma. While at a large non-profit, I provided assessment, individual and group therapy. I served on several committees and helped implement changes to our organization and completed the Change Leader Academy through the NIATx program. This helped our agency better serve clients by mainstreaming paperwork, improving access to services and building retention. I also served as a clinical supervisor while at this agency. I have presented locally and regionally on trauma and addictions and as a parent of both biological and adoptive kids, I understand the unique challenges that can come with family disruptions. I currently hold licenses and certifications in mental health, gambling and substance use disorders.
My theory of change focuses on better understanding how our childhood shapes who we are so we can become who we want to be. Helping persons heal these past trauma's or hurts, helps support long term success and a renewed sense of purpose. Sometimes the coping skills we use to help us become disruptive and damaging. Learning how to be at peace with our emotions, setting boundaries, and identifying healthier coping skills we can live the life we really want and deserve.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

A great counselor to chat with, I have felt heard and seen. I have been able to think more freely about ways that will help my mental health improve.
TJ is a great listener and I felt so comfortable talking with her. She’s very good at explaining and sharing her knowledge which has helped me be a better version of myself.
I really like working with TJ, I feel like I process things with her throughout the week and by the time we have our video meeting, it is a very productive time. I am very much benefiting from working with TJ.
Tj (Tanya) is being very helpful and nice to me. It has been only a few weeks since i started therapy with her but I have had chance my mindset, I feel better being me , I'm anxiety free I love it
TJ is amazing she gets me and is very knowledgeable the area that I need help in and she takes me seriously.
TJ doesn't rush me and she lets me go off on tangents so I can purge the things that need purging. She's kind and professional.
TJ is the best. Plain and simple. No other words needed.
I've been working with TJ for over a year and a half now and I LOVE HER. She has completely changed my life and given me back my independence.
Awesome listener
I've been working with TJ for over a year and she had completely changed my life. So lucky to have found her.
Great listener
She's amazing and has helped me so much in such a short time
I've already written a review before. If anything I appreciate TJ even more since then and have recommended her to my friend. I wouldn't be where I'm at if it wasn't for her.
She’s great and super friendly and tries to understand you completely when giving advice!
This is my second review of TJ and, honestly, I'd write 100 more. She has been crucial in my life since we first started speaking and I truly don't think I would have been able to make it through the pandemic AND move if it wasn't for her.
TJ always responds to me in a timely manner. She always hears what I have to say and then responds appropriately. I love the text and FaceTime meetings. As someone who wants therapy but struggles with traditional face to face therapy, talking via text allowed me to open up quicker and trust easier than I have in more in person therapy.
TJ Gorman is amazing. She listens to you and try to help the best way she can. She offers different options of counseling like worksheets and books (which I love it). I will recommend her for sure. Thank you TJ!
