My name is Tanner Shirley (she/her), and I am one of the therapists here at Modern Wellness Family Counseling. First, I want to applaud you for making it to this step. Life can be so hard and overwhelming, and it is often a burden that many carry alone. Taking the time and space to reach out and ask for help is no small task. You have already made a step that so many do not get to.
As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe space for individuals to explore their stressors, relationships, trauma, and challenges through authenticity, openness, and connection. There is no roadmap to our lives, but one thing I strive for is to be a sounding board and a support system throughout your journey. During my therapeutic sessions, you will find I take an Adlerian approach mixed with creative modalities, DBT, CBT, and Person-Centered theoretical foundations. A lot of my approach focuses on finding purpose through connection and authenticity with ourselves and others.
I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, but specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and families. I have experience working with transitions/adjustments, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, medical trauma, and developmental disorders. Walking alongside my clients through some of the best and worst moments of their lives is an honor and a privilege. I take pride in creating a space of acceptance where all can be seen and heard in these moments.
Tanner is in network with Healthy Connections Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Molina, and Molina Marketplace.
