Meet Tianna...
...A vibrant Registered Social Worker, passionate about working with children and youth to help them envision & strive towards their bright futures by empowering them to work through the struggles of anxiety, depression & low self-esteem they face today. For those aged 10-19 years old, Tianna aims to ensure clients feel protected, seen & heard, as they learn to trust that there is space for them in this world - and they truly matter!
Tianna is passionate about providing support to children and youth who are experiencing trauma, behavioural issues, grief & loss, conflict within friendships, and family issues including the impact of the experiences as a foster child. By providing trauma informed care, with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Tianna creates opportunities for youth to gain skills to help manage and cope with big and complicated emotions stemming from their life experiences, to help reduce symptoms of anxiety and distress. With emphasis on their age and stage of development, Tianna helps clients challenge & reframe false beliefs about themselves, identify their triggers, validate their experiences, and create goals and actionable steps towards the aspirations they have for themselves.
Meeting clients where they are at, Tianna creates sessions that are rooted in establishing trust and are client led -to be more high energy with physical movement or more relaxed with colouring- to best facilitate space for clients to be open and explore how they are feeling and how those feelings are impacting their day to day lives.
