Tanisha Clark

I offer parent coaching to caregivers of children, teens, and adults (ages 5-21) with autism and/or anxiety. My work is autism-affirming, grounded in respect for neurodiversity, and tailored to each family’s values and goal. I provide tools and research-based techniques to help you guide your child to symptom reduction in a judgement free space.

Together we will develop a plan to get your child to symptom reduction using a structured treatment called Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) parent training. We will collaboratively develop targeted goals each session and implement new strategies until we reach goals around symptom reduction, which typically occurs in 8-12 sessions.

I am humorous and compassionate. Our coaching sessions will include recognizing your strengths as a caregiver, your child's strengths, and validating your family's unique challenges. I provide research driven techniques and compassionate education around symptoms and strategies, while always recognizing that you are the expert on your child.

I offer specialized parent-coaching intervention for families of children, adolescents, and young adults with autism and/or anxiety disorders (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Separation Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety etc.). I have worked with families of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, and I specialize in dual diagnosis (autism and co-occurring conditions).

I became a therapist because over the course of my 10 years supporting families and communities in various roles (non-profit director, teacher, principal), my office became a safe space for neurodiverse kids and their families. I value the unique lived experiences client share and always ensure you feel safe and validated.

My services are ideal for caregivers of children, adolescents, or young adults who are resistant to the idea of therapy. This work may also compliment your child's progress in individual therapy.
