I am a licensed clinical psychologist with many years of experience as a therapist, wellness coach, and self-help author. Please note that I currently only see BetterHelp clients on Saturdays. If this will not work for you, please seek out another provider.
I utilize a flexible therapy approach that combines empathy with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused strategies to help individuals work through difficulties and feel more empowered and fulfilled in their daily lives.
I have a specialty in women's health, with particular expertise in the areas of depression, anxiety, wellness and self-care, health behaviors, adjustment to motherhood, stress management, postpartum depression and anxiety, chronic illness/pain, and body image.
In my work as a therapist, I value my clients' own goals and desires for counseling, while bringing my professional expertise, ideas, and strategies to the table.

There are so many wonderful things I could say about Dr. Tassava. She is caring and compassionate and insightful. I think the best thing I could say about her is that I would and have recommended her to friends and family. She is a great listener, but beyond that she helps you work through and move beyond the issues. I can honestly say that my life as a whole is better because of her help.

Dr. Tassava is the best counselor I've ever had. She offers me real-life techniques and tools to handle my anxiety and stress.

Dr. Tassava's insight was completely on point. She is encouraging, helpful, and open, helping me to unpack my issues and create actionable, attainable goals for myself (that she then supported). I had been putting off seeing a therapist for so long, and I'm so grateful for BetterHelp and Dr. Tassava for giving me an online platform to seek help on. I'm so much more comfortable with this :)

Dr. Tassava has made such a huge difference in my life! She has been patient and gentle with me and very empathetic. All things I need to be able to trust and open up. I'm finally starting to feel that I'm on the right track and I have less bad days and more good ones thanks to her advice and amazing words. When I started reaching out to her, I was so high anxiety that I wasn't functioning in my every day life. I can function at work and at home and I feel like I will be ok thanks to her! She is an amazing counselor and I'm so thankful I was matched with her!
