Meet Tanya Phillips: Your Compassionate Guide to Healing

Aloha, my name is Tanya Phillips, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Clinical Therapist. I am a Clinical Psychology PhD candidate with four and a half years of study and research. I have lived in Hawaii for over 16 years and spent 8+ years working with diverse populations in my community. I am passionate about helping clients with various relational challenges or traumatic experiences by providing a safe space for clients and supporting them through their healing process and recovery. We do this by setting goals to incorporate helpful coping skills for healthier outcomes. I have experience working with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and dual diagnosis.

I practice with a holistic and integrative approach using evidence-based and person-centered treatments. I provide a safe space for those who seek to begin healing one step at a time, depending on the clients’ immediate need, and go from there. It is an individual process.

Based on humanistic approaches, open communication is necessary, which creates an interchange of ideas and perspectives, so that the client and therapist can create healthy avenues for healing. I have a gentle and warm demeanor, but I have a structured process and always client-centered focus.
