Tanaya Clarke

Tanaya Clarke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate based in North Carolina. Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Tanaya holds a Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Buffalo State College in New York and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

​

Driven by a deep passion for helping others, Tanaya’s journey began in an environment that lacked the resources necessary to provide mental, physical, and emotional stability. This background fueled her dedication to supporting individuals in achieving balance and success in their lives, no matter their starting point.

​

Tanaya has extensive experience working with a wide range of populations, including children, adolescents, young adults, and families. She uses a client-centered approach, empowering clients to lead their own therapeutic journey while offering guidance, empathy, and support. With nearly a decade of experience in case management, Tanaya excels at connecting clients to essential resources, including other mental health services, housing assistance, and medication management. Her background includes supporting individuals struggling with mental health diagnoses, trauma, poverty, probation, and substance use, all while providing the care and understanding necessary for their healing and growth.

​

Tanaya believes therapy should be a collaborative and empowering process, where clients are provided with the tools they need to succeed, while being supported in their unique goals and aspirations. She incorporates evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychoeducation, Trauma-Informed Practices, and Art Therapy to guide clients through their personal growth and healing.

​

Tanaya is committed to building strong, trusting relationships with her clients, always offering a safe, non-judgmental space for them to explore their challenges and achieve positive change.

Outside of her professional life, Tanaya enjoys sports, particularly basketball and football, as well as dancing. She treasures spending quality time with family and friends, working out at the gym, and traveling to new places. She’s also a fan of self-care, with a love for a good spa day to unwind and relax.
