Tanya de Jong

For Tanya de Jong, good therapy starts with a simple question: how far has life drifted from the life you actually wanted? A Registered Social Worker based in Leamington, Ontario, Tanya works with children, teenagers, adults, couples, and families navigating some of the hardest terrain a person can face — trauma, abuse, addiction, crisis, and the quieter weight of anxiety, depression, and burnout. She brings particular depth to the intersection of relationships and individual wellbeing, drawing on graduate training in Marriage and Family Therapy alongside her grounding in psychology and social work.

Her approach is shaped by more than two decades of clinical work and by her own experience as a daughter, sister, wife, and mother who knows that even stable lives hit serious walls. She has seen how patterns like compulsive internet use or gaming can quietly restructure a person’s days until genuine rest feels foreign and the nervous system never fully settles — and she treats that as the clinical concern it is. Whether someone arrives carrying long-standing wounds or a recent rupture, Tanya works to understand where they are now and where they want to be.

Sessions are available in person at her private office in Essex County and online. An initial conversation is always the starting point — a chance to talk honestly about fit before any commitment is made.
