About Tana
Tana Marie Ruud Tennent is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience practicing in Arizona. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in motivation or confidence, or dealing with depression. She also supports clients who are facing life changes and who want to improve communication in their relationships. Tana emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s knowledge about their own life.
Her style is straightforward and strengths-based. She treats clients as the experts on their stories and helps them build on existing abilities. Sessions aim to identify practical steps that reduce stress, lift mood, and increase day-to-day functioning.
Over a long career she has worked with a wide range of concerns related to mood, self-esteem, and coping. That background guides how she helps people set realistic goals and notice progress. She encourages small, doable changes rather than overwhelming plans.
In sessions she listens closely and offers strategies tailored to a person’s situation. She helps people build confidence and find clearer ways to communicate. The work often combines problem-solving, planning, and skill-building to handle difficult moments.
Starting therapy is framed as a courageous step, and she supports people through that beginning. Prospective clients are invited to reflect on what matters to them and then take the next scheduling step when ready.
