Getting to know Tanya Fernandez

I’m so glad you’re here. I believe deep down we all have the wisdom we need—sometimes we just need a safe, compassionate space to reconnect with it. That’s where I come in. My superpower is seeing people for who they truly are beneath all the layers—your heart, your humanity, your story. I’m here to walk beside you as you explore what healing, growth, and authenticity look like for you. My approach I draw from a blend of therapeutic approaches—CBT, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and more—but ultimately, my work is guided by connection, curiosity, and care. My focus I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community and clients looking to transform their lives. I’ve been a licensed clinical social worker since 2008, with nearly 20 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, families, and the queer community. I work from a place of deep respect and love for people in all their forms—my practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, rooted in feminist values, and centered on creating an inclusive, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. I specialize in supporting people through life transitions, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and the ongoing journey of discovering your most authentic self and healing. My communication style It is so important to me to create a non-judgmental environment, where you can hear your own voice, practice various styles of communication until you find the one that is true for you. You can expect me to be calm, warm, and patient while we work together. My goals for you I believe you are the expert on your life, and I am here to partner with you to help you on your journey. Together, we will establish goals that help lead you to the most authentic version of yourself. With time, growth, and healing, those goals may change, and we will adapt them to make sure they are always relevant to where you are and what you are seeking.
