Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Sebastopol, CA

My personal and professional experiences have shaped my passion for supporting others through life’s transitions. As a military spouse for many years, I experienced firsthand the challenges of relocation, adapting to new environments, and rebuilding support systems. I have experience supporting individuals and families through grief, medical challenges, and emotional stress in both medical and school settings. I support adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feelings of overwhelm or disconnection. I especially enjoy helping people through significant changes and adjusting to new seasons of life.

Hi, I'm Taniesha, a Licensed Mental Health therapist (LCSW) who is passionate about helping individuals and couples experience deeper emotional healing and healthier relationships. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns; especially those navigating relationship challenges, past wounds, and emotional exhaustion. Many of my clients desire not just change, but true healing that transforms how they show up in their relationships.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a unique background in the military as a Pararescueman. With 20 years of experience serving and saving lives, I bring a deep understanding of crisis situations and a passion for helping individuals and families in need. Specializing in psychodynamic, Rogerian, and existential approaches, I provide compassionate support to anyone who has a need. Once you start your journey, I am dedicated to walking beside you every step of the way.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works with adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-worth. My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-based therapy, and depth-oriented psychotherapy to help clients better understand themselves and create meaningful, lasting change.

As a clinician, the most important thing I can give to my clients is trust. Trust that I can hold space for them while they do their work. Trust that I have taken care of myself so that they do not feel the need to take care of me during their healing process. Trust that I have done the work necessary to provide them with best practice, therapy techniques, models, and delivery of care.

Welcome and congratulations on beginning your therapy journey! I'm here to support you as you take steps toward your goals and develop into your best possible self. I hope to create a safe space for you to find relief, healing, and develop meaningful insight to reach your fullest potential.

My passion is helping adolescents and adults realize healthy perceptions of themselves while developing resilient habits and lasting coping strategies.
