Hi, I’m Tamia A Pleasants (TAP).
Maybe you’ve landed here because you’re interested in exploring other ways to heal beyond symptom management. You realize that talking it out isn’t quite enough, and weekly sessions yield slow results at best.
If this is you, you’ve come to the right place. We’re in the practice of including more integrative methods of addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, other life complexities that don’t always fit a traditional model.
The story
I graduated from Northern Arizona University in 2003 with a Mater’s in Counseling. After working and gaining experience in the counseling field, I launched into private practice in 2016, however; I have been a licensed professional counselor since 2007. After deciding to embark in my own healing journey, I was met with a lot of barriers that had me question the medical model and what healing really means.
In 2022 I took a deeper professional and personal dive into plant/plant-like medicines in adding depth to how I show up as a Clinician, and more importantly as a person.
Healing On TAP, created in 2024, is an invitation to go beyond the constraints of the medical model - to approach your healing journey, not as a destination, but as a journey.
