Tanya Richmond, LCSW

Tanya Richmond is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a certified person-centered practitioner with more than 26 years of experience supporting people through life transitions and difficult emotions. As an LCSW she holds formal training in clinical social work and brings that depth of practice to work with grief, loss, end-of-life planning, anxiety, stress, trauma, and caregiver self-care. Her certification as a person-centered thinking trainer and mentor trainer informs a collaborative style that centers each person’s priorities and lived experience.

Tanya integrates mindfulness therapy and person-centered skills into her work and often includes practices such as Qi Gong, yogic breathing, and guided meditation when they fit a client’s needs. Her approach is warm, reflective, and engaging, focusing on dignity and respect while avoiding limiting labels. She listens to learn what matters most to each person and then tailors the treatment plan to match those specific goals and circumstances.

Tanya works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, career-related difficulties, and coping with life changes. She also attends to related areas such as aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, disaster-related coping, hospice and end-of-life counseling, intellectual disability supports, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and self-love. Using client-centered therapy alongside approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused therapy, she aims to support practical change and emotional resilience.

Tanya values a thoughtful, individualized process that empowers people to explore purpose and meaning and to make changes that support a happier life. She adapts her work to each person’s pace and priorities and provides compassionate guidance through challenging transitions. She looks forward to working with clients who are ready to take the next step toward greater well-being.
