Tajanay Keaton-Chesson

Tajanay Keaton-Chesson is an LCSW licensed in North Carolina and Hawaii with seven years of clinical practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, and the practical demands of major life transitions. Her scope also includes areas such as body image, sexuality, eating and food-related concerns, and dynamics related to polyamory, kink, and alternative sex culture.

Keaton-Chesson approaches each person as the expert of their own story and centers their existing strengths when exploring pathways forward. She integrates strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based work alongside emotionally focused and solution-oriented methods, tailoring options to the situation at hand. Her practice attends to interpersonal patterns like communication problems, jealousy, and commitment issues, as well as to harm-related and recovery concerns including domestic violence, sexual assault, and sex addiction. Seeking a different direction can be difficult, and her role is described as supportive collaboration to identify goals, practical tools, and next steps toward greater stability and meaning.
