I've Got You.

“I have struggled with many minor and major mental health issues for most of my life, not even being aware of the impact that it had on my thoughts, actions, and mindset. I had been in and out of treatment centers, partial programs, as well as attending outpatient appointments. When I started seeing Tanya, that was where my life began to shift without even being aware of it. Her calming presence gave me that safe space to build trust and open up. With Tanya’s unconditional support, wisdom, and belief in me, I proceeded to gain belief in myself that had never existed before. She helped me plant the seed in my mind where the lifestyle change I wanted to manifest for my life was achievable, possible, and in reach. I firmly believe that I would not be where I am today; on my journey for living a full, long, healthy, and happy life, without Tanya in my corner.”

“I am so grateful to have Tanya Holthus as my strongest supporter, my leading advocate, my biggest cheerleader, my pillar of encouragement, and my life long guide. I have been working with Tanya since 2015, and she has truly been my life coach. The dedication she has with helping me reach my goals is not common place in society anymore. I have never had a provider go out of their way as much as she does with support. She has gone to bat for me on so many occasions. She proactively and aspires to do what is needed, whether it is collaborating with my other providers, staying in contact with my mom when I was hospitalized and couldn’t speak for myself, and even holding my meeting time for all the years I had to come and go due to hospitalization. She provides a space where when I am there with her, it’s like I’m all that matters and I know that whatever support I need, she is able to find a way to give that. When things are really difficult or there is so much to do, I feel like Tanya takes some of that weight off me and “holds it” for me, so I don’t get overwhelmed. I have learned so many skills from her and I always feel better after her help. She has cheered as loud as me when I have overcome obstacles, the biggest of which was becoming independent again. Getting my own apartment again, back into the work force, opening up and becoming more comfortable with whom I am. She has done her own research on her own time to help me with things. I have never had a provider that shows such kindness, dedication, compassion, willingness, and such an eagerness to be a part of my journey. I would not be where I am today without Tanya. Having someone in my life like Tanya, who provided that gentle nudging and support, is the reason I was able to succeed. I love the excitement she genuinely shows and shares when we are working on goals. Tanya does not just “talk-the-talk,” she “walks-the-walk.” I am still astounded that I am where I am at today, I have many times said, “It wasn’t in the cards for me to get better.” Tanya’s support and guidance with me through exploring who I am, faith, friends, work, housing, school, RN license, collaborating with others in my life and on my team, are just a few examples of the extraordinary help she has provided me which has allowed me to live and enjoy living in this life. Tanya is my other oar.” 

“Five Stars, Highly Recommend!!!

To say I’ve been privileged to be able to work with Tanya is an understatement. I first connected with her during one of the most challenging times of my life; I was experiencing emotional changes along with multiple life transitions that left me feeling lost, overwhelmed and vulnerable. From that very (messy!) beginning, Tanya brought a sense of clarity and compassion I hadn't experienced before.

Over time, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Tanya in a variety of situations and continuing life shifts; a highly charged romantic relationship, professional transitions, family dynamics, parenting, a life-altering chronic illness, creative blocks, spiritual questioning and most recently, an overwhelming, disorganized move I was struggling with.

As a person who finds comfort in fact based, data driven, evidence supported actions and interventions AND who also exists in highly intuitive, sensory, relational space, I value Tanya’s embodiment of the empirical and anecdotal, the head and heart, the proverbial book smart and street smart. Her breadth of knowledge is remarkable. She draws from experience in psychology, family systems, somatic work, complex trauma, reflective/cognitive coaching and spirituality. In addition to her formal knowledge, Tanya has always been grounded in the highest level of professionalism. She walks that fine line of maintaining clear boundaries while also sharing her own experience and insight. That innate sense of balance, paired with her willingness to “risk” being authentic, has fostered a human connection in shared experiences which actually increased my trust and made it possible to be vulnerable in a safe, supported way.

As a white woman, my exploration of and work in areas of racial equity and social justice have always been core to who I am personally and professionally. I’m grateful for compelling, reflective conversations with Tanya around events, experiences or understandings in multiple areas of diversity and equity. The commitment to her own continued learning and exploration has only deepened my respect for her and strengthened my trust in our work together.

At all times, Tanya has met and accepted me exactly as I showed up; without judgment or pressure. She epitomizes the foundation of authenticity, patience and support that allows for individual processes, reflection and development to emerge. Her ability to integrate the art and science of personal development, while honoring her own intuitive, insightful, human self is what makes her remarkable.”
