Tanya Catalano

Therapy doesn’t have to be hard, scary or overly emotional. It is work, yes, but it can also be brief, focused, and at times enjoyable. I help teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life’s changes and all types of relationship issues.  My clients tell me that I’m calming, grounding, and insightful — that I listen without judgement and offer clear perspective. I help clients make sense of their feelings and behaviors by noticing patterns and encouraging exploration of root needs and desires. I offer practical ways to respond to challenges, at times with lightness and a sense of humor. My job is to help you create tangible positive change, in whatever area of your life you choose to work on. When we are out of balance, small things become overwhelming, little irritations become too much to carry, and patience, hope, and drive dwindle. I know what it is like to build a career, build a family, and feel the stress of a fast-paced life. And I know how to help you regain balance in your life so that you can have the relationships you want, function better as a family, or succeed at work. In my own life, I find that activities such as yoga, meditation, gardening and cooking, bring me peace and help me connect with friends and family. I have a strong sense of empathy and compassion, a knack for tapping into humor when appropriate, and a bent for critical thinking. I work most often with clients dealing with anxiety, grief, confusion, loss of sense of self, parenting challenges and difficult life stage transitions. I am a non-religious spiritual person, and I welcome everyone into my therapy office.
