Tanay Hudson, LCSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Tanay!

I am a Queens, NY native and proud HBCU grad who enjoys connecting with clients and helping them become the best version of themselves. I work mostly with clients who struggle with depression, trauma, and anxiety. I have been practicing for over a decade and have worked in clinics in South Jamaica, Queens, and East Harlem.

My focus

I mostly work with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma. Together, we can help rebuild your self-esteem, learn new coping skills, improve your inner dialogue, and get down to the root of the problems you are having.

My approach

I create a warm, welcoming, and safe space for clients. It's important that clients walk away from sessions feeling empowered and with the confidence to practice new skills.

My communication style

My communication style is direct, challenging, non-judgmental, and empathetic.

My journey to mental healthcare

At the beginning of my career, I worked primarily with children because I wanted to be the listening ear that I never had as a child. I then began working with adults, primarily Black women and people of color, who struggled with depression, trauma, anxiety, domestic violence, and a host of other issues.

My goals for you

In order to help clients meet their goals, we will build a strong therapeutic alliance. Building rapport and establishing the therapeutic relationship will be the catalyst for diving deeper into what you're struggling with, whether it's trauma, depression, self-esteem issues, or anxiety.

Our first session

During our first session, we will go over the intake process, dive into what brings you to therapy, and discuss your background history. I also encourage clients to ask questions!
