I, Tanesha Pickard, LICSW, am a highly skilled and compassionate mental health professional with over 18 years of experience in the field. As one of the founders of Be Mindful Clinic LLC, I dedicate my career to helping individuals improve their mental well-being and lead fulfilling lives. I have received comprehensive training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and Motivational Interviewing. These therapeutic modalities equip me with a diverse set of tools to address a wide range of mental health issues.

I am a Clinical Psychologist who has been in practice for 20 years. I provide therapy as well as psychological and neuropsychological testing. I aim to help people find measurable and meaningful results and powerful new insights. I use an integrative approach that borrows from many of the most powerful theories of change, including newer advances in my field and tried and true methods. Therapy results should bring clarity, meaning, and obvious and deep improvements. I look forward to talking with you about your unique goals for therapy and how we might work together.

I specialize in working with adults with anxiety, depression, and behavioral/emotional challenges.

“In Chinese, the word Crisis is composed of 2 characters, one representing danger and another representing opportunity,” but have you sat back recently and wondered where the opportunity in this situation is? Have you ever wondered where the “silver lining” everyone talks about is? Sometimes that “silver lining” is behind clouds so thick that we are just waiting for it to pour. I know that feeling can be daunting, but I also know that pouring rain can be refreshing once those clouds open. And I have learned that bracing for the rain together is better than battling the storm alone.

You should be proud of yourself! You’ve decided to take care of yourself and develop into the person you are deep down. It can be difficult to take care of ourselves the way we do others. I look forward to the opportunity to support you throughout your journey. Like the Plum Blossom that blooms in adversity and is a symbol of hope, I believe everyone has the ability to tackle the adversities that life presents and bloom even in the most challenging times. I know that is going to be your story and I’m here to help you write it. No matter the obstacle. You will bloom, and I will support you through every stage.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression and craving a faith-based approach to mental wellness? Do you have issues with substance use disorder and want guidance as you heal? Do you struggle with trauma and wish someone could help you navigate life and find the necessary resources for recovery? You want counseling that keeps your overall wellness in mind, uses proven strategies and offers real solutions. Faith-based counseling may help you overcome obstacles, connect to your purpose, and create the life God intended you to live.

Life can be difficult to maneuver. As multifaceted individuals we often carry a little weight in every one of our realms. These weights can be a result of the specific “trauma points” that we’ve held on to as our perspective has grown over time. Those points look like family conflict, life transitions, career stress, relational/personal redevelopment or many other reasons for why we may have crossed paths here today. Overall, how we engage with those points affects our relationship with healing. Whether we recognize it or not, we all could have used guidance through a period of suffering. Every doubt is an opportunity for growth.

I am genuine with my clients, and prioritize developing a relationship in which they feel consistently supported and challenged. I have been practicing short and long-term therapy since 2006, and work collaboratively with my clients to guide them to a better understanding of the presenting issue, to highlight their strengths and resources, and to help them to identify other ways of approaching complex problems. Psychotherapy can be the first step towards developing insight into our problems, allowing for symptom relief and for creating more possibilities for meaningful experiences in our lives.

Now accepting new clients! Are you exhausted from carrying around the weight of anxiety? Does the struggle to get through your day with depression make you want to stay in bed? Are you overwhelmed by society's pressure to stay positive and try harder? Mental health issues can make even the most minor tasks seem impossible. You can’t get away from the swirling negative thoughts in your mind long enough to accomplish your goals. You want to engage with life and be present with your loved ones, but it all seems like too much effort. You need someone to guide you out of the dark and help you find your path to wellness.

Are you struggling to handle life stressors? Do you find yourself constantly caring for others and ignoring your needs? Does anxiety or depression keep you from living the life you want? Does a history of trauma keep you from achieving your goals? Many women struggle with mental health issues and want to find strategies to regulate emotions, improve their self-esteem, and increase independence. You deserve happiness and success.

I believe in a straightforward approach to mental health and substance abuse problems. I have observed throughout my career that clients have the capacity to make significant changes in their lives when they are able to gain the insight and support through counseling. I provide a supportive environment and a collaborative approach to bringing about change and developing insight into the origins of clinical issues that bring people into therapy.
