Deciding to come to therapy can be very scary. Sharing your most intimate thoughts with someone can be even more frightening. This is why I make sure that I create a very safe, caring, positive, and secure place where you can feel comfortable and know that you are with someone who truly cares about your well-being.

You are welcome here! I am Tateanna.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring nine years of experience counseling individuals and families and training professionals to build resilience and sustain mental health. My approach is rooted in compassion and the understanding that every person’s journey is unique. Together, we’ll focus on your strengths, address challenges, and create actionable strategies tailored to your needs. Whether it’s through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a mind-body approach, or solution-oriented techniques, my goal is to help you feel empowered, grounded, and equipped to thrive in both your personal and professional life. And because I love the outdoors and adventurous activities like hiking, biking, and rock climbing, I often weave elements of mindfulness and balance into our work, inspired by my own passions for nature and exploration.

I’m a Licensed Social Worker with over 30 years of experience providing mental health services in Northern Illinois and the suburban Chicago area. Since earning my master’s degree, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families facing a range of concerns, including mood disorders, panic disorder, anxiety, depression, and grief. I believe therapy should be a place for fresh starts and meaningful change. My goal is to create a supportive, interactive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I’m committed to helping people build practical skills and insight so they can move toward a more balanced, fulfilling, and happier life.

I graduated with my MSW from Aurora University in 2017, and I’ve continued to deepen my clinical training ever since. I’m trained in a variety of evidence‐based therapeutic approaches—including Gottman, EMDR, ACT, Motivational interviewing, and harm reduction—which allows me to tailor therapy to each person’s needs and goals.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, collaborative style. I value getting to know who you are, understanding what matters most to you, and creating a space where you can explore challenges without judgment. My work is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that people grow best when they feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood.
