Tanay Siwingwa, AMFT

I’m passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families experience healing and wholeness that begin within and ripple outward, shaping healthier futures for generations to come.

Sometimes we find ourselves caught in patterns we understand but still struggle to change. We may be experiencing conflict in an important relationship, wrestling with an internal struggle, or trying to find footing after a loss or major life change. Therapy can be a place to slow down, look beneath the surface to uncover what is shaping our experiences, and discover a way forward.

I believe our deeply held beliefs and the patterns we develop throughout life influence how we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate the world. But we don’t exist in isolation – we’re also shaped by our families, relationships, and surrounding environments. Through a systemic and interpersonal lens, I help clients explore these influences with curiosity and compassion, understand what may be keeping them stuck, and identify possibilities for change. Change is possible even when it feels out of reach, and I believe shifts in one person can create worthwhile change in their relationships and broader systems.

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating relational conflict, grief, life transitions, anxiety, trauma, and depression. I believe people often have more capacity for change than they realize. My role is to help my clients uncover that capacity, consider new possibilities, and help them evolve in ways that feel meaningful to them.

Grief & Loss

Loss takes many forms. We grieve not only when we lose a loved one, but also when relationships change, roles shift, expectations go unmet, or a season of life ends. As a Certified Grief Informed Professional, I help clients make room for the complexity of grief, honor what has been lost, and explore what moving forward can look like.

Relational Conflict & Connection

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families understand what lies beneath relational conflict. Beyond the immediate disagreement, I want to understand what each person is experiencing, what patterns have developed between them, and what may be getting in the way of connection. My training in the Gottman Method informs my couples work, alongside a systemic perspective that considers the broader context of our relationships.

How I Work

I aim to make therapy feel authentic, safe, curious, and purposeful. I see my role as a facilitator, encourager, advocate, and coach. I listen closely, ask difficult questions, and gently name patterns that may be hard to recognize or easier to avoid. I value collaborating with clients to determine what will be most helpful, because you are the expert on your own experience.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and meaningful change unfolds through the work we do together. I offer support, perspective, tools, and guidance as you draw on your own experiences and strengths to discover new ways forward. My approach draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Bowen Family Systems, but I also incorporate other evidence-based methods to tailor to your needs.

My faith in Jesus is an important part of who I am and how I approach caring for others: with God’s love, compassion, mercy, and grace. I extend that same care and respect to clients of all faith backgrounds and beliefs, making room for each person to explore what matters to them without judgment.

I am here, I am for you, and I believe we can work together toward the change you desire.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy quality time with my loved ones, serving families and vulnerable populations in my community, and exploring different cultures through travel, food, and music.

I am currently working under the clinical supervision of Pamela Madsen, MS, LPC, ACS, RYT-200 (LPC 013425).
