My Approach to Helping
Aloha � I'm Tanya Kort! I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. I'm a Licensed Psychologist and I hold licenses in Texas and Florida. I believe that the messages we send ourselves have the power to impact behavior and trigger automatic responses. For me, therapy is often about helping individuals take back any power they have given away. When I'm not practicing therapy, I enjoy reading, auto-crossing, traveling and dancing the hula.
A strong, therapeutic relationship is paramount, so my goal is to work with each person to develop an individualized plan that focuses on using strengths and abilities to solve problems and overcome obstacles. I work on establishing rapport and goals with individuals, customizing therapeutic techniques to help develop effective coping skills and promote healthy personal growth. I use an eclectic approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, mindfulness and relaxation, and interpersonal therapy among others.
