Work HistoryI came to this work later in life, which means I bring perspective alongside clinical training. I'm Tanisha, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Nevada. I became a therapist in my late 40s, after years of living through the kinds of transitions and challenges my clients face. That experience taught me what it's like to start over, realize old strategies aren't working, and need to find a different way forward. I work with people across all ages—children as young as six, teenagers, adults, and older adults. My specialty areas include eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating, as well as personality disorders such as BPD and antisocial personality. I also work with kids and teens managing behavioral issues like ODD and conduct problems. I support neurodivergent clients with ADHD, autism, and Asperger's as they navigate systems that weren't designed with them in mind. And I work with people managing chronic illness and cancer, where mental and physical health can't be separated. My approach is eclectic because no single method works for everyone. I draw from techniques that fit what you're dealing with—DBT for emotional regulation, CBT for shifting thought patterns, play therapy for younger clients, and motivational interviewing when you're uncertain about change. For those who want faith integrated into their healing, I offer Christian counseling. Whether you're six or sixty, my focus is the same: helping you move from where you are to where you want to be. If you’d like support, you can reach me through Insight Therapy Solutions at 888-409-8976. You can also message me or use this link: https://bit.ly/3JQzitS (Copy and paste it into your browser).
