Nice to meet you! My name is Tashi, and I'm the owner of Umoja Psychotherapy LCSW PLLC. I began my journey in social work in 2009 at Stony Brook University's MSW program. I obtained my MSW and continued on to become licensed. In 2021 I obtained my clinical license. Throughout the years, I have worked with individuals who are diagnosed with depression, anxiety, bipolar, personality and psychotic disorders. I have also worked with individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other ID/DD. After years of working with various populations, I founded Umoja Psychotherapy LCSW PLLC with the purpose of giving back to my community and culture, and to cultivate a sense of umoja. Umoja [pronounced oo-MOH-juh] is the first principle of Kwanzaa and means to strive for unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
