ABOUT ME
Welcome to my practice! Over 20 years in the field led me to establish my private practice 3 years ago, with a focus on providing a safe and supportive place for Black women to find healing. As a trauma informed and trauma trained therapist I most frequently provide support to my clients with the use of EMDR and KAP. I believe that my lived experience and intersectional identities in combination with my professional competence are essential in fostering an environment conducive to change, growth, and self-determination for my clients.
I’m originally from New York City, where I received my education and I now call Maryland home. I offer in-person sessions for clients in Frederick, Maryland, and provide telehealth services across multiple states.
In my spare time you might find me eating at the lastest restaurant or listening to (and singing!) a variety of music ranging from 70’s soul music to 90’s-2000’s dancehall, R&B and Hip Hop. My fondest travel memory to date was visiting Cartagena, Colombia last year.
I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards healing and empowerment.
Now accepting clients for virtual appointments in Florida, Vermont and Virginia. Available for in person and virtual appointments in Maryland.
what my clients are saying…

I am forever grateful!
I came to Tyisha during a particularly painful part of my healing process. After years of CBT, I knew the root causes of my behavior and negative thought patterns, but that didn't change how I felt and thought about myself. Tyisha's method of EMDR intensives helped me reprocess those negative beliefs and feel where those traumatic events settled in my body. Those sessions made me feel more rooted and grounded in my body and allowed me to integrate positive, new beliefs about myself.

The change was immediate and lasting
I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect when I first thought about trying EMDR, but i’m sure glad I did! I’m grateful to Tyisha for working with me and guiding me through this amazing experience.
