My name is Tia Zequeida, LMHC, LPC, and I am a licensed mental health counselor dedicated to supporting individuals and couples through life’s most difficult seasons. Since 2013, I’ve worked with adolescents and adults across both residential and outpatient settings, offering individual, group, couples, and telehealth therapy.
A primary focus of my practice is helping individuals heal from trauma and helping couples rebuild deep, meaningful connections. I have advanced, specialized training in evidence-based trauma-focused therapies, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which allow us to process painful past experiences so you can move forward freely. For couples, I utilize Gottman Method techniques to help partners strengthen their communication, navigate conflict, and restore mutual intimacy.
In addition to my specialization in trauma and couples counseling, I treat substance use, mood and anxiety disorders, self-worth concerns, stress, and adjustment. My clinical approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and highly collaborative. I incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, alongside CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I) to help you improve your sleep.
As part of the Therapy Treatment Team, I work closely with a dedicated group of professionals to ensure you receive comprehensive, compassionate, and well-rounded care. I truly believe healing is possible for everyone, and that meaningful growth begins with feeling safe, supported, and empowered.
Taking that first step can be difficult, but it is also a powerful act of self-care. I am here to walk alongside you—whether you are processing deep trauma, strengthening your relationship, or finding ways to thrive through life’s changes.
