"Over the course of 5 years, I had tried several therapists, none of which I truly felt comfortable with. When people suggest going to therapy, the easy solution seems to just find anyone who is a licensed therapist, and then this person will solve all of your problems. I quickly learned this was not the case, quite the opposite. If you don't find someone you believe in and are willing to let your guard down with, therapy doesn't work. I had almost given up hope that therapy could help me work through my issues of anxiety and depression as a sexual assault survivor, but then I met Tanisha. Tanisha was the first and only therapist I felt was truly invested in my well-being, who I knew I could be honest with, and who I knew deep down had my best interest at heart. I think what I loved most about Tanisha was how professional she always was while demonstrating empathy and holding me accountable. I truly believe that I owe my personal and professional success in part to Tanisha, who taught me coping mechanisms and taught me how to regain a sense of self. I will always be grateful to Tanisha and believe she is a one-of-a-kind professional." D.A.
"During my Therapy sessions with Ms. Mason for a period of time three months, were very beneficial for me. I was very comfortable with her professional techniques, which helped me work through my issues. I was also, very satisfied with my results. I found that Ms. Mason is a very qualified Therapist, that gets results." G.B.
"When I first met Tanisha, I was lost, buried, and couldn’t see a way out. I could only do enough to keep the boat afloat and not much else. I had developed anxiety as I thought about all of the negative things that could possibly happen in life especially related to my daughter. Tanisha helped me to focus on the things I could control and on the basic needs for my daughter. I also learned that I needed to find my own identity again outside of being a mother, a wife, a friend, etc. I started to figure out the things that made me feel fulfilled and began prioritizing time to explore them more. After a year and a half of work, I finally felt free. I had released the emotional and physical things that had been weighing me down and holding me back from living. I still had some work to do. Tanisha equipped me with the tools needed to continue on my journey. I’m so thankful to have had her in my life. I’m not sure where I would be without her help. Anyone would be lucky to have Tanisha to talk to." T.K.
"Tanisha really helped me to let go of so much of my pain. With her, I came to realize just how much of my pain was stemming from my traumas. She helped me to release myself from a cycle of self-punishment and self-protection (really, over-protection because I was so afraid, and being afraid felt safer than the risk of being happy and hurt). She helped me with my healing so that I was able to finally trust myself, and trust that I could get through the pains that may come on my road to happy (and reminded me that I wouldn't have to do it all alone). I loved Tanisha's approach and style. She was honest and patient but held me accountable with homework and recaps. I love that she didn't sugarcoat things when I needed to hear hard truths, but she still told it like it was with compassion and empathy. And there was room for humor when a good laugh was the best medicine. She roots for you on your path to growth and change. Tanisha is genuine, and as they say "real recognize real" (LOL). I'm so lucky to have found her! " P.A.
"Working with Tanisha was great and though I am bummed it has ended I am happy to use all that I have learned in my healing journey. When I first started working with Tanisha I made it very clear that I didn't want to use any medicine. I wanted to work on my healing process "naturally" and that is exactly what we did. Each week that we met I grew much more comfortable and continued to open up more. It was great speaking with someone who did not judge me for who I am but focused on who I will become. Our weekly sessions soon became my highlight and often felt like I was conversing with a close friend. If you are hesitant about working with Tanisha, I would advise to have a consultation and be open about what it is you are looking for to begin your healing journey. Best of Luck!" J.L
"Tanisha really changed my life + I’m so grateful for her. The therapist I had before her just wasn’t for me - she listened well, and made me feel heard but that was about it. Not until I got with Tanisha, did I learn what therapy was really about. Tanisha spent time getting to know me. I admittedly felt comfortable because she looked like me and she was a Scorpio, lol! She asked simple questions for her personal clarity and deep questions so that I could dive into what clarity looked like for me. In the beginning of our sessions, I really wasn’t sure. I had spent over 25 years being a chronic people pleaser and didn’t know much about what I wanted for myself at all. I was navigating through shame around my sexuality, through guilt because of my need/want for a divorce and through the fear of the unknown. I spent time with Tanisha for nearly 3 years as she learned me through my past experiences and helped me find the tools to keep my balance in this thing called life. She turned into my favorite person to see and spend time with once week. She celebrated my wins and helped me to find grace and the lessons in what I wanted to consider losses. Even the things I brought, that she wasn’t familiar with, she took time to learn about them and would be versed in whatever it was by the time she saw me next. Her notes were minimal but effective because she seemed to remember every player and play that I shared with her. I’ll be honest, I didn’t want to leave therapy. Tanisha encouraged me through my progress, that neither one of us could deny, that I was ready. Today I’m living as my authentic self: a proud lesbian, living with my partner and kids in an honest and genuine bliss. I co-parent with my former husband and we maintain a healthy relationship with each other and our children. Because of my healing, I’ve become a full-time mental health advocate through my art. I use the tools Tanisha helped me learn every single day and work to pass the information and healing torch as best as I can. If you’re considering Tanisha, this is your sign to move forward. I know you won’t be disappointed." K.J
"I had the pleasure of working with Tanisha Mason for nearly a year. Like many, the pandemic added unusual and unpredictable circumstances that were both hard to process at times and challenging. Working with Tanisha, I was able to address a lot of my anxiety and find ways to process my emotions effectively. I found Tanisha to be warm, consistent, and had no problems holding me accountable. If you're looking for a true partner in your wellness journey, Tanisha is certainly the one you want on your team." M.L
"Tanisha was my therapist for a year and a half and I am very grateful for my time with her. I started therapy because I had moved to a new place, and was struggling with stress related to difficult family and marriage situations. I thought I knew what I needed to work on when I started therapy but, like the best therapists, Tanisha helped me recognize that some root causes of my stress and anxiety lay in places that I hadn't even thought about before - for instance, a to take control of uncertain situations, and a fear of asking for help. Tanisha worked with me on those, and also on different mindfulness techniques to calm my anxiety. I feel like I can point to concrete ways that my thinking patterns and behaviors changed because of working with Tanisha, and my mental health and relationships are much better because of it. I highly recommend working with Tanisha!" L.S.
