Getting to know Tanya Gustafson
Tanya Gustafson, LMSW, works with adults ages 18 and older, including older adults and caregivers. She supports clients navigating grief and loss, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness, aging-related concerns, dementia, and end-of-life transitions.
Her approach is compassionate, collaborative, person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. She incorporates cognitive behavioral, supportive, grief-focused, and solution-focused techniques based on each client’s needs and goals.
Tanya earned her Master of Social Work and a Graduate Certificate in Gerontology with a focus on dementia from Eastern Michigan University. She brings extensive experience supporting families and working with social workers and interdisciplinary healthcare teams. She aims to provide a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and develop practical ways to move forward.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially during a difficult transition or period of loss. Tanya creates a supportive, compassionate space to understand what you are experiencing, identify what matters most to you, and develop practical ways to cope and move forward. You do not need to have everything figured out before your first session.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Tanya begins by learning about your current concerns, life experiences, relationships, strengths, and goals for therapy. Together, you will identify the issues having the greatest impact and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Sessions may include supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, grief and loss work, coping skills, problem-solving, and exploration of family or relationship dynamics. Treatment is collaborative and adjusted as your needs and goals evolve.
