About Tianna
Their own wordsTaking Clients August 2026
Tianna is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) at The Compassion Clinic, a Yorkville University graduate of the Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program, and holds a BA in Sociology from Trent University. She completed her clinical internship at Queen's University Student Wellness Services, where she worked with a diverse student population navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, identity, and life transitions. Passionate about creating a therapy space that feels warm, real, and genuinely human, she believes the therapeutic relationship is not just part of the process, it is the process. Before any technique or framework, she is oriented toward the person in front of her, building safety first and never rushing it. You will not leave sessions with a stack of homework and a pamphlet. You will leave feeling seen.
Tianna started her Master's exactly 10 years after completing her undergrad, and she will be the first to tell you those 10 years were not a detour. They were the education. Life happened in that decade, and it shaped the kind of therapist and human she is today. She is a mom, a partner, and a devoted dog and cat mom in a household that keeps her on her toes. She is a firm believer in accepting all the pieces of yourself, even the ones that are hard to say out loud. Drawing on DBT and IFS alongside her person-centred foundation, Tianna’s work is strengths-based, and nothing makes her happier than helping people see what they are already doing right, even when they cannot see it themselves just yet.
She works with ages 13 and up and offers individual counselling. She enjoys supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, life transitions, relational stress, and identity. She has a particular interest in perinatal mental health and understands firsthand the beautiful, overwhelming, identity-shifting chaos that comes with motherhood. She also has a soft spot for clients who feel stuck, hard on themselves, or quietly exhausted by holding it all together, and are ready for a space to slow down and figure out what they actually need.
