You may have difficulty remembering or talking about your childhood, feel fragmented and unable to understand your internal experience, engage in harmful behaviors without knowing why, or move between feeling detached and on edge. I'm so glad you're here. I specialize in working with concerns related to complex attachment, religious, and developmental trauma, including childhood sexual abuse and dissociative disorders. In therapy together, I can help untangle the complexities of your painful experiences in a way that is warm, collaborative, creative, trauma sensitive, and focused on the mind-body connection.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping adults heal from trauma, chronic stress, and long-standing survival patterns. Many of the people I work with grew up navigating environments where safety, emotional support, or stability were inconsistent, and those experiences can continue to affect relationships, self-worth, and the nervous system well into adulthood. My approach is compassionate, grounded, and practical. I integrate trauma-informed methods such as EMDR, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation to help clients move beyond survival mode and reconnect with a stronger sense of self.

Congratulations. You are obviously closer to creating change and healing in your life. So often our depression, anxiety, and relationship problems are correlated to underlying shame and emotional wounds that have become entrenched in our beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, and personality styles. As you well know, this healing process can frequently be arduous and frustrating, but I look forward to working with you to develop a meaningful therapy relationship and experience.

I work with individuals and families that struggle to connect in traditional therapy settings and who may have had challenging or problematic experiences with therapy in the past. I have a, "How can we do it different this time?" approach. I believe it is important to support clients in driving their own treatment through self-determination. I often use cognitive behavioral (CBT), solution focused, reality, person-centered, and experiential approaches to therapy. I look at each person from a "strengths perspective", how an individual relates to the environment around them and how they interact within their family system.

Do you live in a constant state of ‘what if’ to the point you ‘what if’ everything to death? (What if I make the wrong choice? What if I get into an accident? What if I cause something bad to happen?) You may be finding yourself mentally fatigued and exhausted (sometimes to the point of sadness) because the thoughts are non-stop and constantly pop into your head. You might also easily see 5 - 10 steps ahead of a situation and predict all the things that ‘might go wrong’. How exhausting is it to live like this? The root of worry often hides much deeper and I have a passion of helping people figure what that is!

Like you, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Tawanda Scales has seen the demise of promising careers, businesses, families, and relationships due to basic “people problems”.
