Tanya (Kai) Qualls

Tanya (Kai) Qualls, LPC, brings 12 years of professional practice to work with people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self esteem, and a range of relational concerns. Based in Pennsylvania, she centers her approach on the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that strengths already present can be used to move through difficult patterns and transitions. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that respects the client as an active partner.

Tanya works with a broad set of focus areas that include grief, parenting, compassion fatigue, gender dysphoria, and family of origin issues, among others. Her clinical toolkit draws from evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness approaches, client-centered work, and psychodynamic perspectives. These methods are woven together to suit the needs presented in the therapy room.

Her intent is to support and empower people who are ready to take steps toward change. Tanya aims to create space for exploration of difficult emotions, patterns of avoidance or control, and struggles related to identity and relationships while honoring each person’s goals and pace.
