In today's episode Emily chat's with Tanya Cole-Lesnick LCSW. 

Tanya has been a psychotherapist (licensed clinical social worker) and coach since 1995. She received her master’s degree in social work from New York University after group therapy changed her life. She has extensive experience in outpatient hospital mental health, private practice, and wellness center settings. From those experiences over the years she has identified her most important focus—helping people to live lives that light them up.

In this episode Tanya talks about her own personal experience with group therapy, how it changed her life for the better especially when it comes to relationships and why she decided to pursue her degree in social work.


She also shares with us the potential that group therapy can have on one's healing journey that can be experienced when you allow yourself to get outside your comfort zone and dig deep into your feelings.
