Tanya Borough
Tanya draws upon deep life experience to address Betrayal Trauma for individuals, couples, and groups with a soft spoken, yet clear vision for healing.
Therapist Profile
Tanya is first and foremost a mother to her ten children and co-conspirator with her husband. She loves the amazing Utah mountains and national parks but misses the vibrant cultural, religious, and ethnic diversity of her New Mexico upbringing. You will find a hefty stash of Hatch green chili in her freezer at all times and she swoons over turquoise jewelry. With ten years experience as a therapist, her fortitude, compassion, understanding and wisdom will help guide you through the pitfalls and unexpected or unwanted challenges life may have thrown at you. She will patiently and unflinchingly believe in your ability to overcome and thrive, even when you don’t believe in yourself.
“Everything you are feeling is okay to feel. We are meant to experience the full range of human emotions, including anger.”
