Hey! Welcome to the BetterHelp Platform. I see that you have made a decision to make your mental health a priority. My name is Tanisha Peterson. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and service individuals within the Louisiana area. I speak English. I received a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Louisiana State University and A&M College and a Master's Degree in Social Work from Southern University of New Orleans.
I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds.
-I have experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, negative self-talk, low self-esteem, adjustments.
- I work with older individuals with life transitions.
-I have experience working with individuals with intellectual, developmental disabilities, and physical disabilities with social skills, understanding their diagnosis, depression, and anxiety.
- I work with family members of individuals with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities with coping with their family member's diagnosis.
I utilize person-centered thinking and several modalities to help individuals with decreasing their mental health concerns.
As a therapist, I enjoy helping individuals crush their goals and connect to their most authentic self. One of the hardest parts is reaching out for help, but your here and you know that you're worth it! If you're ready to take the next step, please feel free to reach out to me. You are welcome to message me through Better Help. I am available through messaging, live chat, phone sessions, and video chat. I have non traditional hours, typically late evening and Saturday daytime hours for individuals who are looking for someone outside the standard 8-5pm schedule. Unfortunately, I do not have weekday daytime sessions. If you are searching for a therapist with non traditional hours, I would happy to discuss further how I can assist you and discussing how I can help you on your mental health journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Tanisha is great therapist! I wouldn’t imagine being matched with anyone else. I enjoy all of the advice she gives me and it truly has helped me become a better me. She is very flexible with scheduling and responsive.
Tanisha has been wonderful. After only 2 sessions I feel good about teaching my goals and getting a hold of my anxieties.
Tanisha has been amazing to work with! Super personable, yet professional. Helped me to realize, and unpack baggage that I've been holding onto for years. I'm thankful for her and would recommend her to all.
This was my first experience with online therapy and I was very pleased with how well Tanisha was able to connect with me during our video visits. She is a great listener, encourager, and advice-giver. She helped me achieve mindset changes that are helping in every area of life.
Ms. Paterson is very professional. After my first session, I felt like I developed a friend. She made me feel really comfortable with being open and honest about my situation.
I actually had to pause my therapy due a natural disaster but am ready to get back into it. I’m working on my fitness, so it’s time to get back to my mental health. Tanisha is great and I’m so excited to get back to it.
Tanisha is personable and responsive. She helped hold me accountable, asked good questions and provided me with helpful, direct feedback. I felt like she really cared and I really appreciated working with her.
Tanisha is a wonderful Counselor. She truly listens and gives sound advice. She helped me become very introspective. I have made great progress with her.
Tanisha is awesome.
Tanisha Peterson is my first experience with a therapist, and I must say I am impressed. Tanisha provides me with a safe space to communicate my concerns and feelings without judgment. I remember the first conversation we had and she told me that I do not have to be politically correct and that was reassuring to me that I can allow my thoughts to just be. With the assignments given, Tanisha has unlocked some feelings/intermost thoughts that I did not know I had. Our sessions are both refreshing and informative.
Tanisha is amazing for anyone needing a clear way to work through their baggage and at the pace right for them
