Meet Takiesha

I am a seasoned counselor with 16 years of expertise. I use diverse techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, storytelling, solution-focused, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I empower you to overcome challenges and achieve goals. In my welcoming office, you will find support to reshape negative thoughts and unlock new possibilities. Let's embark on a journey towards a happier, healthier you! For me, becoming a mental health professional wasn't just a career choice— it was a calling born out of empathy, understanding, and a genuine desire to make a positive difference in people's lives. I see each individual I work with not just as a client, but as a partner in their journey towards healing and triumph. My aim is to empower others to confront their challenges, rewrite their narratives, and emerge as victors in their own stories.
