Hey! Welcome to the BetterHelp Platform. I see that you have made a decision to make your mental health a priority. My name is Tanisha Peterson. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and service individuals within the Louisiana area. I speak English. I received a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Louisiana State University and A&M College and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Southern University of New Orleans. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. -I have experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, negative self-talk, low self-esteem, adjustments. – I work with older individuals with life transitions. -I have experience working with individuals with intellectual, developmental disabilities, and physical disabilities with social skills, understanding their diagnosis, depression, and anxiety. – I work with family members of individuals with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities with coping with their family member’s diagnosis. I utilize person-centered thinking and several modalities to help individuals with decreasing their mental health concerns. As a therapist, I enjoy helping individuals crush their goals and connect to their most authentic self. One of the hardest parts is reaching out for help, but your here and you know that you’re worth it! If you’re ready to take the next step, please feel free to reach out to me. You are welcome to message me through Better Help. I am available through messaging, live chat, phone sessions, and video chat. I have non traditional hours, typically late evening and Saturday daytime hours for individuals who are looking for someone outside the standard 8-5pm schedule. Unfortunately, I do not have weekday daytime sessions. If you are searching for a therapist with non traditional hours, I would happy to discuss further how I can assist you and discussing how I can help you on your mental health journey.
