"Insight truly reflects the values of hope and inspiration that I believe are required to heal and to improve one’s quality of life.”
Tanja has met all the standards for qualification and certification by the Academy of Certified Social Workers. Tanja discovered her passion for social work at age 15 when she volunteered through her youth group at hospitals, homeless shelters, and soup kitchens. Tanja started her career working with the developmentally disabled. Because of her personal connection with Autism, Tanja is passionate about helping young adults with both autism and schizophrenia to learn how to live their lives to their fullest potential. Tanja's work experience includes providing services to individuals living in supervised housing, training in suicide prevention, program development and implementation for GenPsych PHP and IOP, and Program Coordinator for the Adolescent Program at GenPsych in Livingston. Additionally, Tanja has supervised several new clinicians through college internships and into their full licensure. Tanja has worked with multidisciplinary teams and believes in continuity of care through communication with other mental health providers. Tanja enjoys working with young adults, and all of us who are fully ‘adulting’ in life. Tanja specializes in providing clinical support and skill development for those dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, and relationship issues while utilizing a cognitive behavioral therapeutic (CBT) approach.
