Hello, I’m Taneka Collins.

​

Life can bring seasons that feel overwhelming, confusing, or heavy to carry alone. Having a supportive space to process experiences and rediscover your strength can make a meaningful difference. We are shaped by both joyful and challenging life experiences. Over time, the messages we internalize — whether spoken or unspoken — influence how we see ourselves and the world around us.

​

My approach to therapy is to walk alongside you, providing support, education, and encouragement while helping you reconnect with the strengths you already carry. Therapy is a collaborative space where you can safely explore your experiences, build insight, and move toward meaningful change.

I am a Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC) and hold a Master’s of Counseling Education.  I have served as an elementary school counselor for over 11 years, in addition to facilitating a women’s empowerment group ministry.  I work with children (ages 7 and up), adolescents, and adult women. Areas I commonly support clients with include anxiety, emotional regulation, grief and loss, social skills, self-esteem, infertility and reproductive grief, school performance and behavior, and trauma.

In our work together, I draw from Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and faith-based counseling when desired. Together, we will create a supportive environment to explore your experiences, understand your thoughts and emotions, and develop practical tools for growth.

​

If you are ready to explore the season you’re in and move forward with greater clarity, strength, and confidence, I encourage you to connect with me.
