Dr Tanisha Stewart

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“As a gender therapist, I work within the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and class.”

About Me

As a gender therapist, I offer a space where you can explore your identity with depth and care. My approach acknowledges how race, sexuality, and class uniquely shape your experience. We can navigate these intersections together, fostering a deeper understanding of yourself. This holistic perspective ensures our work is truly tailored, helping you feel fully seen and supported.

Approach

Working within those intersections, I lean into careful curiosity, helping you track patterns that show up in relationships, work, and everyday moments so insight can become choice. In my Oakland office and via secure online sessions conducted in English, we move between reflective depth and practical experiments—slow, steady exploration in session and short tasks or reflections between meetings to test new ways of being. People navigating gender, culture, and life changes often find this steady, collaborative rhythm helpful.
