Greetings! My name is Tania McLean-Nicholas and I have been in the helping field for over 16 years. However, I can remember as early as 7 years old giving counsel and guidance to my friends who would find themselves in disputes over toys and dolls. I would share the pain and sorrow of those who were hurting, always wanting to help or make things better. My desire to enter the helping field grew as I became witness to more tragedy and trauma that comes while living in our world today. Life challenges can cause a person to lose hope, grow weary and even want to give up. As a Christian, I find comfort in the scripture Isaiah 40:31. It is my reminder that there is a God who has full power and understanding of the world around me and has the ability to renew my hope and strength in trying times. My desire is to help others find their source of comfort that will generate a renewed hope for their lives. 

​

I have experience working with adults, couples, children and adolescents. My practice focuses on utilizing solution focused, cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems theories and a variety of various treatment modalities that best suit the needs of the client. My calm, compassionate approach creates an environment of safety and acceptance for the client.

​

I also have over 11 years experience working with Foster and Adoptive children and their families. I am passionate about helping people work through issues of attachment, loss and trauma. I also conduct educational and support groups on parenting, grief and loss. I also offer premarital counseling.

​

Finally, I am passionate about having a balanced lifestyle.  A balanced lifestyle is the corner stone of our well-being, and  includes our physical, mental, emotional, social, financial and spiritual health. Outside of helping others, I enjoy reading, exercising and spending tine with family and friends.
