Kind Words...

"Tia has worked with me a lot over the years, whether it be helping with my anxiety and depression, or just average everyday issues. Whether we meet in her office or in the park, her professional manner and kind nature always creates a safe place to open up. Tia has helped me turn my life around in so many ways, and she continues to remind me of the strength I have inside myself." ~A.T.

"Tia is my “go-to” person for every plight and achievement in my life.  When meeting with her, she made me feel as though I was the only person in the school who needed her assistance. She was always fully engaged and attentive to my needs. As someone who has difficulty opening up to others, this speaks volumes to how highly I regard Tia. Her witty humor and optimistic attitude make her one of those rare people who radiate happiness wherever she goes. The enthusiasm she displays when helping others demonstrates her generous and giving nature. No single person had a greater impact on my transition to college than Tia." -A.C.

“Tia’s curious and nonjudgmental stance has supported me in feeling safe to explore the more difficult aspects of my work.  Her capacity to see multiple perspectives and use relatable, real-life analogies helped me solve daily dilemmas and make sense of complex situations.   Tia’s strategic and gentle reminders about how our conversations connected to my life and professional goals inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and follow through on the next steps toward achieving these goals.” ~L.L

"Had I never gotten the privilege to work with Tia throughout high school I would not have graduated high school with the same mentality that I did. I would have still been searching for positivity. Tia showed me that it was right in front of me. I just let my negative thinking over shadow it. Tia has taught me skills that I have taken outside of school and applied to my life ever since learning them. I still do everyday. Tia’s dedication to the students she works with is remarkable. She has inspired me to be a more confident individual and to keep my head held high everyday. One of the most important life lessons I’ve been taught came from Tia: “it’s fun to be weird.”" ~S.L.
