Meet your therapist

Tanya Briggs

she/her · LCSW, Staff Therapist

I have worked in the social services for fifteen years with various populations including juvenile detention and foster care. During the course of this work I discovered my passion for mental health. Becoming a psychotherapist has allowed me to fulfill a dream. I am dedicated to providing mental health services, and bringing awareness to the importance of mental health to my community. I specialize is CBT, trauma informed therapy, DBT, and insight oriented therapy.

I operate from a social justice framework, and strife to create a safe space for my clients to process all things mental health.
