More about Tanya
- 26 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a certified person centered practitioner (person centered thinking trainer and mentor trainer) with more than 26 years of experience in the field. I have worked with people experiencing a wide range of concerns including grief, loss, end-of-life planning, anxiety, stress, coping, trauma, and improving self-care (particularly for caregivers). I use mindfulness therapy and person centered skills and find Qi Gong and Yogic breathing as well as guided meditation to be beneficial techniques to build into my work.
My style is person centered, warm, reflective, and engaging. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect. I listen to learn what is important to you...and always keep that in mind when we work together. I don't like to use labels and feel they limit us all. I will customize our time together and your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I am glad that you are seeking purpose, meaning, and a happier life by addressing those things that may be holding you back, troubling, or confusing you. That can be a daring journey and you have taken the first step! I am here to help you think through changes you may want or need to make and to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I absolutely love and adore my counselor!!
I’ve only met with her once and I feel so seen and comfortable! Like there is someone who understands and wants to help me! Thank you!
Tanya is the best therapist I have had, in fact, she feels fated to be my therapist. She is compassionate, while also being firm about having you be honest with yourself. She is extremely responsive and thoughtful. Even in the short time we have worked together, she has been able to help me shift my perspective of myself and my depression and helped me start to take care of myself mentally, spiritually and physically.
Tanya is a caring therapist who has provided me with concrete suggestions to help me with my concerns.
Tanya is so easy to talk to. I feel like she is a friend I've know for a while. I get the sense she really understands me. I feel so comfortable talking with her. I have recommend her to my mom!
Tanya is amazing. She has helped me through a really tough time and is now helping me learn how to love myself!
Tanya is an exceptional human being! She’s kind, compassionate, and completely authentic. She provides very helpful feedback and resources. Expect to be in good hands with her!
I have one session only under my belt, however, already she brought up more than a previous therapist did in 4 sessions and even then he just put me on meds that made my depression and anxiety worse. So far I'm confident that she can help me work through my traumas.
Tanya is thoughtful and thorough. I am very grateful for her support.
She is a fine clinician for a not-so-fine patient. She is creative and sensitive. She appreciates my unique challenges.
Tanya is awesome to work with. She was able to identify my needs in just my first two sessions and then worked with me on ways to resolve things I was holding onto.
Tanya has been so good for me because she listens, asks questions and gives me honest feedback with different ways of understanding why I have these issues. We explore new behaviorss and she is helping me re-establish good healthy boundaries.
Tanya is by far the best therapist I have ever had. She listens well, understands immediately, is nonjudgmental, does not waste time and has excellent suggestions. I love her!
Tanya Richmond is a perfect fit to assist me with my issues. She listens intently, and is quick to focus in on my issues. I find her very easy to talk to and to trust.
