LICENSED MASTER SOCIAL WORKER

Taina Delaney, LMSW

I am a licensed social worker and psychotherapist who believes in creating a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences and work toward meaningful change. I value each person's unique strengths, story, and goals, and I approach therapy with respect, compassion, and curiosity.

My clinical background includes experience in mental health, substance use treatment, care coordination, and leadership roles across a variety of settings. This experience has shaped my understanding of how many different factors can affect a person's well-being, and it informs my holistic approach to care. I strive to meet clients where they are and to tailor treatment in a way that feels thoughtful, practical, and supportive.

In my work, I aim to help clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe healing happens through connection, trust, and consistency, and I am committed to walking alongside clients as they build resilience, gain insight, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.
