About Tanisha

Many challenges we face are inevitable, but often we can sway the outcomes in our favour, keep challenges from compounding each other, and avoid other problems altogether. That is the philosophy I carry into my work helping my clients with challenges like ADHD, OCD, learning disabilities, autism, depression, anxiety, race-based trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and other concerns. My promise is to provide you a compassionate, open, culturally-affirming, and empowering counselling environment. With over 10 years of experience in working with neurodiverse adults, I’ve gained an in-depth understanding of autism-spectrum disorder and other cognitive and developmental differences. I am always learning more about the complexity and layers of the mind, which allows me to help you navigate the complexity of life.

I work with individual clients in an online setting and in-person at our Guelph office. I would describe my approach to therapy as a goal-oriented, solution-focused, evidence-based, person-centered framework. In it I combine narrative therapy and cognitive behavioral theory, creating a collaborative relationship and process. I also incorporate an anti-oppressive, intersectional, and trauma-informed lens, in that my lived experience has helped me to understand, value, and validate your uniqueness.

I also offer consultations in collaboration with a team of Psychiatrists who may provide a diagnosis, suggestions for medical support and/or make therapeutic recommendations.
