What our colleagues are saying…

  • I’ve known Therapist Tanza Haskins for nearly 30 years and even though she would say I’ve been a mentor, I’m the one who is the better for having known her. Tanza is a therapist who is ALL IN! She’s genuine through and through, undaunted by challenges for herself or for her clients, professional while warm and authentic, gentle while clear, sharp and smart while so very kind. She is an open, receptive learner who then fully embraces new approaches and techniques and generously and sincerely shares these with the clients she serves. To be on a journey of growth or healing with a therapist such as Tanza as a guide is valuable beyond measure.

    Gayle Gonzalez-Johnson, MSW, ACSW, LCSW

  • Tanza Haskins has been a trusted colleague of mine for over twenty years. Tanza is a highly skilled and experienced psychotherapist and supervisor. She exhibits professionalism, compassion, and empathy to all of her clients. Tanza helps her clients face and overcome difficult life challenges in a safe environment. I give Tanza my highest recommendation!

    Whitney Werner Jenkins, MSW, LCSW

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘ Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.”
