ABOUT TANYA

Hello and thank you for visiting LTIL! Maybe you are still deciding if you want to get support from one of our LTIL clinicians, or already have decided to do so and are looking for the best clinician to support you. Either way, it is worthwhile to find the right clinician for you.
 

Let me introduce myself, I am Tanya Morshed and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-S). I have worked for over 20 years as a mental health professional with a diversity of people in the US and internationally. It is purposeful and meaningful to be able to create safe space and provide support while people go on their self-discovery and healing journey.

 

Since each person is an individual and influenced by the unique systems around them, I use an integrated approach to care. A holistic perspective allows the whole person to be seen and understood. Sometimes, people can feel like they have parts of themselves or their life separated and/or disconnected into pieces. What  therapy offers is a way to help a person reclaim those pieces and become whole again, or to feel that way for the first time. This is true whether you are an adult or adolescent. For adolescents and young adults, it can especially be complicated to figure out who you are and what you want at this point in life if you’ve experienced distressing life events.

 

Loss, family conflict, work-related stress, bullying, school-based issues, peer/support system discord, intimate partner relationship challenges, separation/divorce, childhood trauma, generational  differences, cultural dynamics, and many more life experiences can cause distress and impact how we function. You’re not alone in this.

 

Many of life’s challenges and struggles can cause suffering and pain, which can prevent people from knowing and living within their authentic self. It takes courage to embark on the journey of growth, which is why seeking therapy is not for the “weak” but a sign of strength. One of life’s greatest gifts is to give yourself the chance to be supported so you can create the change you want.

 

Together, in therapy we can explore, understand, use tools and techniques, and increase your resiliency through creative, individualized methods. The hope is to find relief, gain insight, manage life differently, and to feel better. Let’s go!
