More About Kalana Tanel

Clinical Interests:

I am passionate about serving people of all ages and life experiences. However, I have special interest in serving children and adolescents. In my experience, I  connect naturally with the age group and have meaningfully supported individuals as they navigate common challenges that accompany their stage of life.
Additional clinical interests include: anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, anger management, self esteem building, stress, relationship challenges, family conflicts, grief/loss, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Clinical Approach:

My approach to therapy is dynamic, meaning it may change based on the individual I am serving. I seek to be flexible based on what is meaningful to each individual and what is most effective based on the presenting concern. I have experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I am familiar with skills related to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I have received several trainings on the Polyvagal Theory. I have found that a blend of all of these can help to bring meaningful healing and change. My sincere hope is that you will leave this therapeutic relationship with confidence in yourself and your skills, regardless of your circumstances.

Hobbies:

I often refer to myself as a “house plant”, someone who just needs sunlight and water! I thrive in the summertime, as I love being active and outdoors. Biking, hiking, and camping are some of my favorite warm weather pass times. In the cold months, I cope by walking on my treadmill, at home yoga, reading, and cozy quality time with my favorite people.
