Getting to know Tahjae Handy

My focus is to help individuals break free from the cycles of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and emotional distress that can make daily life feel overwhelming. I work with clients experiencing depression, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress (PTSD), and social anxiety disorder. I am passionate about helping people better understand their thoughts and emotions while developing practical strategies that support lasting change and improved well-being. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment grounded in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. Together, we work to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build healthier behaviors, and empower clients to move forward with greater confidence and a renewed sense of control in their lives.
