Who We are & What we Do here!

 Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? This quote by Marianne Williamson lead me on a journey of exploration of self and others. It lead me to the study of psychology which has lead me to you.

 Hi! My name is Tatiana Collins. I am a Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Nationally Certified Counselor. 

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychological Sciences and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

 I am a diverse counselor in that I specialize in 5 areas including: anger management, play therapy, anxiety, depression, and trauma/grief therapy.  I approach counseling from a Gestalt Therapeutic perspective. This means that I work hand in hand with clients to assist them in not only staying in the present, but also putting together pieces of themselves through use of awareness, integration and reflection of experiences , along with gestalt techniques. A combination of the latter will allow clients, in the end, to be and feel as a whole person mentally and physically.
