Tanya McLeod, LCSW — Therapist in Missouri

Hi there, I'm Tanya!

Life can be challenging and take a toll physically, mentally, and emotionally. Whether you're facing grief, work stress, relationship issues, trauma, substance use, chronic pain, or just not feeling okay, you don't have to face this journey alone. Through therapy, let's navigate to a better quality of life.

My focus

I work with individuals dealing with addiction, anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality, chronic illness, codependency, depression, dual diagnosis, grief, LGBTQIA+ issues, mood disorders, panic attacks, PTSD, relationship issues, self-esteem, insomnia, trauma, substance use, and thought disorders.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is client-centered and tailored to your unique needs. I provide a non-judgmental and confidential environment where you can safely explore your challenges and work toward healing.

My communication style

I engage with you through open, honest, and direct communication. My style is warm and non-judgmental, creating a safe space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. I listen attentively and provide reflective feedback to help you gain clarity and insight.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've worked in outpatient, residential, and hospital settings, providing group and individual therapy for adults and couples from all walks of life. My diverse experience has shaped my compassionate, adaptable approach to helping people navigate their unique challenges.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you navigate life's challenges and improve your overall quality of life. Through our therapeutic relationship, I provide the tools, support, and guidance you need to overcome obstacles and achieve your personal goals.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your concerns, goals, and what you hope to achieve. This is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share openly at your own pace.
