Tatiana Stewart, LCSW
About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 6 years of post master level experience, and 14 years of Mental Health Counseling with children, couples and family units. I am a passionate advocate and help clients gain access to resources while confronting their personal issues, such as mental illness, addiction, and abuse.
“I SEE YOU, DO YOU SEE ME?” - This is my personal reference of engagement to begin the process in helping you by actively listening in a non-judgmental manner, and by being open to your feedback in each session to promote a safe place for us to identify and work through areas of direction for your healing.
In building a therapeutic relationship between you and myself is to begin with a warm welcome and thank you to you by allowing this journey of engagement between us. All relationships take risks and I am honored to provide a space for open dialogue between us.
I combine many therapeutic modalities to develop your treatment plan by using a strengths-based approach to empower goals tailored to your needs and areas of concern.
I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, which is an evidenced-based psychotherapy designed to help people with emotional dyregulation to treat mood disorders, suicidal ideation, and for change in behavioral patterns such as self-harm and substance abuse.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve your mental health by focusing on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortion and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.
I use Narrative Therapy, which is a form of psychotherapy that seeks to help people identify their values and skills and knowledge they have to live these values, so they can effectively confront the problems they face in a safe manner. This may also provide space to reflect on historical trauma and family values as it relates to the individual and their goals.
My goal is to establish a connection, whereby both the you and I will partner, addressing that each person is an individual and worthy of a safe space to heal.

Tatiana is amazing. She is an excellent therapist. Her knowledge and compassion exceeds any therapist I have talked to in the past. After only a few sessions I have been able to apply her tools effectively and see changes where I need them most.

So far she is excellent at hearing my concerns and stopping me when needed for useful practices. And providing useful homework

10 out of 10. We clicked immediately and I was able to speak freely while receiving the guidance I needed. She gave me a variety of different avenues for expressing my feeling and was attentive and patient.
I will hopefully return to her services in the future.

Tatiana is phenomenal. This has been my first experience with therapy and I could not have asked for a more amazing introductory experience. Tatiana is kind, deeply knowledgeable, organized, thoughtful and gifted in her work. I am so grateful to have been matched with her and the influence she has had on my life and well-being for the last several months.

Tatiana is a great listener and has been very helpful to me during this difficult year. In addition to examining the big picture and different aspects of life, she points out my areas of strengths and encourages me to achieve each goal I set. I always look forward to speaking with her and each session has been positive and therapeutic.
