Therapist

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support, I'm glad you're here. I am a licensed clinician and lover of stand-up comedy. I believe healing happens through connection, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I provide a warm, trauma-informed approach that helps clients feel supported while empowering them to make meaningful changes in their lives. Healing happens one step at a time, and I'm honored to support that process. My own healing journey is one which encourages me to stay connected to my Belgian roots, by discovering new dishes that allow me to indulge in flavorful cheese or decadent chocolate.

Tanasia Betts

Tanasia Betts

Therapist

Virtual • California


My name is Tanasia Betts and I am a licensed professional counselor. Here's how I can help you reach your goals.

Trauma

Many people struggling with anxiety and depression are carrying the effects of unresolved trauma. Together, we'll explore the experiences and patterns that continue to impact your life while using evidence-based approaches to support lasting healing. In a safe, supportive space, you can break unhealthy cycles, build resilience, and reclaim your sense of peace and purpose.

Christian Counseling

I believe healing is strengthened through both faith and therapy. I integrate evidence-based counseling with biblical principles to help fellow believers navigate life's challenges, find hope, and experience emotional, mental, and spiritual growth in a supportive, Christ-centered environment.

Couples Therapy

Every relationship faces challenges, but you don't have to navigate them alone. I don't take sides—I choose the relationship, creating a safe space where both partners can feel heard, rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and reconnect. If you and your partner are ready to invest in your relationship, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
