Getting to know Tawanica Newell

Hi, I am Tawanica. Are you one of many who feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Are you a parent seeking help for your youth or teen? Are your thoughts or feelings hindering you from being the person you want to be? Do you feel like no one understands? Is silence the outlet you've chosen? You don't have to struggle or go through life alone. I am here to assist and guide you through whichever season of life you are in. I specialize in working with diverse populations including adolescents, youth, families, and adults experiencing difficulty with life's transitional stages. You may be facing depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating difficulties, conduct or behavior disorders, and more. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Jackson State University. My therapeutic style is open, honest, and accepting, and it may vary depending on the developmental stage of the client. Some of the interventions I use include active listening, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused techniques. Let me assist you-whether it is learning coping skills, problem-solving skills, mindfulness, or even self-care techniques.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My goal is to provide a safe and open place for my clients. I am hoping after the first session, you feel welcome and a sense of comfort. Moving forward, I will assist you with providing evidence-based techniques to be able to utilize when life throws those unexpected curve balls.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

This person is one of the most amazing people I've ever worked with. Her depth of experience combined with her genuine warmth and knowledge is seldom found in our profession.
My daughter always leaves her sessions with the biggest smile on her face. My daughter feels very comfortable sharing what’s going on in her life good and bad. She can’t wait to talk to her.
She really listens and tries to help with solutions or coping mechanisms. It also feels like talking to someone you know well and not some stranger, but without worrying about judgement.
Tawania is such a gentle professional. She is great with my 12 yo. I have seen a difference in my daughter and she is expressing that she is really enjoying her experience.
She is wonderful and has done very well with the client. She is warm, understanding, intelligent, and open minded. She engages and challenges the client with each session in a very helpful way with various activities each week. I highly recommend to anyone!!
