Tajante Wainwright
LPC | Licensed Professional Counselor
Hello! My name is Tajanté Wainwright (she/her), and I am a Licensed ProfessionalCounselor (LPC) in the state of Pennsylvania. I am passionate about creating a safe healing space that allows individuals to reconnect with their full self. I offer a person-centered approach to encourage a collaborative environment and to support the unique experiences and challenges that each person navigates. I work with older teens, adults, BIPOC and other underserved communities, and LGBTQ+ folks.
I create space in sessions to approach challenges with both top-down and bottom-up processing. I find it important to acknowledge how the body can hold stress and trauma and to reflect on the mind-body connection within sessions. My goal is to support identifying and meeting needs, rebuilding awareness of oneself, and to acknowledge holistic care. I aim to assist my clients in identifying, building, and practicing skills that they can use to continue their growth outside of the therapeutic space. As challenges faced are unique to each individual, we will also hold space to consider the intersectionality of other identities that impact experiences and our healing processes/needs.
I describe my therapeutic approach as a trauma-informed and mindfulness-based lens while also drawing on elements of CBT, ACT, TF-CBT, EMDR, Flash Technique, and Somatic Psychotherapy. I rely on these modalities to support client stressors that include trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, racial trauma, emotional regulation, and stress management. I received my Master of Education in Counseling Psychology from Temple University in 2022 and have spent time working in both non-profit and private practice settings. My previous experiences working with adolescents with behavioral challenges, LGBTQ+ folk, sexual assault survivors of all ages through individual, group, and hotline services, have all shaped my therapeutic approach.
Outreaching for support can be scary and showing up is half the battle. We will always spend time ensuring the therapeutic space feels safe before addressing any stressors and challenges. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions. I look forward to connecting with you.
I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, & IBX insurances.
