Working with Tanya has been a breath of fresh air, and she is not my first therapist, but she is the best so far. She listens, provides suggestions to manage ongoing concerns, and respects the need for time, but will not leave you out there for too long without checking in. She is a true professional and I'm happy to have chosen her as my therapist.

She is honestly the best! I feel so comfortable during our sessions and get to be my true authentic self when sharing my experiences with her because I know that she has not judged me, and will not judge me.
All of my preconceived notions and hesitations regarding therapy were washed away when I met Tanya, and I've never had any doubts in continuing therapy with her as my desired therapist!
