Tanya de Koning

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

TBRI Practitioner

Tanya is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who got her love for working with children, couples and families after starting a group home for “at risk” youth in Ecuador for three years. She is passionate about helping individuals find their identity and overcome obstacles that keep them from reaching their full potential. Additionally, Tanya recognizes the ever-present challenges that affect the family unit and is trained to facilitate healing relationships within a family. Her trauma-informed clinical experience ranges from treating trauma, depression, anxiety, and identity formation to helping couples and families restore wounded relationships.

In her most recent work experience she has extensive experience working with clients with trauma and abuse, including children and families involved in the foster care system and families who have adopted. Through that experience she has found a passion for working with pre-teens and teens, where her gentle yet firm approach helps adolescents overcome challenges and discover their true identity. Additionally, Tanya enjoys working with parents and can offer practical solutions to parenting struggles and behavioral issues.
