About Tatiana St. Germain

 
 
 

Hi, I’m Tatiana and I help people create a joyful life. 

If you are reading this, you may be here because you are starting to listen to that voice within you that says, “it is time to heal.” 

Life is hard sometimes. It’s not always roses and butterflies. You might be struggling to find balance with all that’s going on. Stress at work, in your relationship, in your family. It’s a lot.

Or you could be hurting and using substances to numb the pain, to escape reality or to cope with it. Or maybe you struggle to break the cycle of how you were raised versus how you are raising your children. You may have a hard time going against what the traditional way of doing things has been. You may feel afraid to speak up and say what’s on your mind.

If struggles like these resonate, I may be the right fit therapist to help. I help people who struggle to find balance, love, and joy overcome the behaviors and thoughts that keep them stuck. 

 

 How I Help

My mission is to help you create your best life. I will show up in every session to help you

  • Overcome your fears

  • Identify what you value so you can align actions with creating the life you desire 

  • Explore the root of stressful patterns so you can chose not to use them anymore

  • Heal distressing things that may have happened in the past like unresolved trauma 

  • Explore difficult heart to heart conversation

  • Get supporting in creating the life you really want

Even if you struggle to believe it, I know you are worthy of experiencing a life with purpose, meaning and joy on a daily basis. You deserve to create a life that brings you joy and fulfillment.  

We are all beautifully different and unique, so your therapy sessions will support you uniquely. With therapy, I understand that there is no “one size fits all” approach. I am here to meet you where you are and guide you towards healing. 

I have fallen in love
with how the heart heals.

 

My Journey To Becoming A Therapist

I have fallen in love with how the heart heals. Back in the 90s, I was very curious  about how humans behave and why they think the way they do. Growing up, one of my uncles exhibited odd behaviors that no one in the family really understood. My grandmother used to believe that he was possessed by the devil and tried many bizarre ways to heal him. 

During college, I studied the mind. I found myself diagnosing myself and every member of my family with a mental or personality disorder when I took my first psychology class. That was funny! 

I was also fascinated by family dynamics. Coming from a traditional Hispanic family, it was an eye opener to be able to see the dysfunction in my own family and uncover my need to break the cycles that were not serving me. 

When I graduated from my Masters, I entered the field of substance abuse. I found myself inspired by the bravery and the courage of anyone who came to treatment. After years of school, I was witnessing the human ability to heal.

It was through serving others that I found myself called to do deeper work myself. Early on, I learned an important lesson: that in order to serve those I want to help, I also had to heal myself. I started working through my own unresolved issues from childhood. I did my own healing. 

Even though it is important to understand on the mind-level, it is also necessary to heal on the heart-level too. This is what I discovered through my personal healing and transformational work. And now I also help my clients discover how to heal through and respond from the heart just as I did.

My Heart Believes These To Be True

  • I believe everyone has the ability to change

  • I believe everyone has what they need within themselves to heal and create a life they want to live.

  • I believe you deserve to create a life that brings you joy and fulfillment.

 

Being A Therapist Is Fulfilling

I love to be able to guide people to shorten the gap between the knowing and the doing. I understand what it is like to have a desire to change but not knowing how. 

Helping people gives my life meaning and purpose. I love being part of people’s healing journey. It is very rewarding to witness how they are able to empower themselves and break the behaviors or thought patterns that hold them back and prevent them from doing what they want to do.
