Tawanda Lewis-Hazan

My communication style

Therapy should always be collaborative. Expect me to pose clarifying questions and give constructive feedback. I'm honest and upfront, solution-focused, and actively listen to what you say and don't say. I create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space where you can openly express and process. I use humor when appropriate to add levity.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always loved learning about psychology and wondered why people do the things they do. After working in administrative and legal roles, I realized a better, more meaningful way to contribute to society would be in mental health and wellness. Working with people has been the best career decision I have made.

My goals for you

From the start, I will ask you to envision what the end of therapy will look and feel like for you. Setting clear, attainable goals early on is essential to knowing what progress looks like. My job is to work myself out of a job. You are the expert of yourself and your life. I act as a guide to help you get to where you want to go.

Our first session

During the first session, I create a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to share. We'll assess fit and see if I can provide the assistance you're seeking. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy and your specific goals. I'll ask questions to understand your background and what you hope to achieve.
