Tanisha Richardson

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work in New York with 17+ years of professional work experience. I have experience helping clients with trauma and abuse, parenting issues, relationship issues, foster care, adoption, abandonment, sexual abuse & anger management. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I think that we all have the power within ourselves to ensure that we live our best lives. I truly believe that we do not get well by getting over, we MUST go through – we have to walk the path towards inner happiness and fulfillment, and along the way, we have to feel. Sometimes we have to feel pain, sadness, and loneliness and remember that there will be light at the end of the tunnel. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, research and practice have found online therapy to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main benefits is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.

All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and if someone needs a different match over time it is possible to switch therapists. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible, effective way to address everyday mental health concerns and work toward meaningful change.
