William Tanner

My communication style

I am always respectful and empathetic to what each individual experiences, understanding that different clients move at different paces. My goal is to ensure I hold a safe space for sharing. I balance that with being directive in assisting you in learning practical skills so you feel better and function more fully.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist to assist people in not only feeling better but living more fulfilling lives. I've had the privilege to work with individuals from a variety of racial, ethnic, religious, and other diverse backgrounds, including those in the LGBTQ community.

My goals for you

In order to set goals, it's important for me to obtain a clear understanding of why you're seeking therapy. This involves completing a detailed history so we can include the impact of life events, culture, or traumatic events as we work together on goal setting in a manner that feels safe.

Our first session

The first session sets the tone for our work together. I'll make sure there is no urgent crisis and then review confidentiality and informed consent. Then, I'll obtain information on what you'd like to work on as well as historical information. We'll discuss the objectives of therapy and your commitment to the process.

I identify as...

• Male, Cis
• Caucasian or White
