Tanisha Goveas

In therapy sessions with me, I strive to provide a safe place to express your thoughts, feelings, struggles, and problems. Hi! I’m Tanisha, amental health practitioner with over half a decade of experience. I am passionate about raising awareness about mental health and the importance of community in our lives. My belief is that therapy is not only a place to share your issues but also a space to identify and build on your strengths, learn problem-solving strategies, develop coping skills, and enhance your emotional capabilities and self-worth. I take an eclectic approach to therapy, using tools from various schools to find what works best for each client's unique life story. These include expressive arts, mindfulness, cognitive therapy, narrative therapy, and person-centered therapy. Each method is tailored to suit your individual needs. Additionally, I am queer-and-trans affirmative, trauma-informed, sex-and-kink-positive, neurodivergent-friendly, and I take an intersectional approach to therapy. In our sessions, your role as a client will be to identify the goals you want to achieve during therapy. Be willing to introspect and communicate any potential obstacles and strengths that may hinder or help you move toward these goals. We will collaboratively work towards achieving the established goals. Moreover, an important part of therapy involves practicing new skills and monitoring certain behaviors and thoughts. Therefore, occasionally, you may be asked to do some “homework” between sessions. While this is not mandatory, it can help you understand how to use the skills you learn and assess their efficacy. My aim is to provide a comfortable and supportive environment conducive to insight, healing, and personal growth. Together, we will work on building a healthier, more fulfilling life.In therapy sessions with me, I strive to provide a safe place to express your thoughts, feelings, struggles, and problems. Hi!
