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”. From aspiring to be something greater to the joy of parenthood, how we relate to others and more importantly relate to ourselves proves to show a strong correlation to a life of success. With nearly two decades of social services, mental health counseling, and professional training experience centered around crisis and adjustment, her view of relationship success is revolutionary.

Do you feel stuck in your life or do you see your child struggling in theirs? Do you keep trying to find new ways to navigate your life or relationships but find yourself repeating the same cycles and struggling to move forward? If you are looking to make personal changes or think your teen could benefit from some therapeutic support, I'd like to be there to help with that process. Change isn't easy and sometimes people need someone that is outside of their daily world to share thoughts, feelings and problems with in order to gain insight about themselves and help them reach their goals. I'd like to be that person for you.

We all need support in dealing with life's challenges, but sometimes just asking for help can feel as overwhelming as the problems for which we are seeking support. The task of finding the right therapist can be difficult. Who can I trust? Will I be heard and understood? Will they work well with my children and/or family? We understand these concerns and work to create a compassionate therapeutic environment to help our clients grow and change.

Have you ever felt that your past is casting a shadow on your present, affecting your relationships, career, and overall well-being? It might be time to explore the transformative journey of overcoming childhood trauma. Many of us carry beliefs formed in childhood that silently influence our day-to-day lives. If you find yourself caught in patterns you can't seem to break, it could be linked to unresolved childhood experiences.

When do we seek help? When we suspect that "something is wrong", when we are suffering, when we don't feel encouraged to ask questions, when we become fixated to nonsense or when we no longer find satisfaction and life becomes more of the same. Psychotherapy is an open door to change, to embark on a path towards understanding what's hurting, bothering, distressing or paralyzing us. Therapy could help us change our perspectives, thoughts, and behaviors. It could leads us to adapt to what concerns us, distresses or affects us so we could live more fulfilling lives.

Life does not come with a "How To" manual and we ALL could use some guidelines and instructions to understand and overcome life's challenges. I encourage and engage in open, honest communication that is facilitated in a non-judgmental, unconditional, and supportive environment. My goal is to offer a safe place to explore your history, understand your emotions, and assess your behavior (actions and reactions).

Have you ever known what you wanted but you just couldn’t figure out how to get there? I have had many moments in life where I felt stuck and could not seem to get past it on my own. Being in the client’s seat gave me the opportunity to realize just how much power and potential I hold, but needed help removing the obstacles in my path. I recognize that the client is the driver on their journey through life, but that I can come along and hold the map. I love meeting new people and being given the opportunity to help others realize their power and capability of living a fulfilled and positive life.
