Meet Tawanna
I'm Tawanna Hudson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Clinical Supervisor based in San Antonio, working with women across Texas.
My work centers on relational wounds and the patterns we carry from them. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are and walking alongside you as you heal, at a pace your heart and body can handle.
My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in evidence-based care. I draw on EMDR, emotionally focused work, DBT, and CBT, and I welcome your faith into the room whenever you'd like it there.
