Tanisha Shedden Biography

Tanisha Shedden is a licensed clinical social worker, counselor, coach, speaker, and podcast host whose work focuses on trauma healing, mental health advocacy, and community empowerment. Shedden holds a Master of Social Work degree from Northwest Nazarene University and applies a holistic approach in her counseling practice, specializing in trauma, delinquency, and adoption. Her trauma-informed, client-centered methodology incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, internal family systems, and accelerated resolution therapy, tailored to meet clients' individual goals and needs. Shedden supports adoptees, individuals experiencing grief, and those seeking healing and positive change, drawing on experience in schools, community mental health, and private practice.

Shedden's professional perspective is shaped by her personal experiences as an adoptee and survivor of childhood sexual abuse. Before becoming a licensed counselor, coach, and speaker, she navigated her own healing journey, which informs her work in counseling, advocacy, public speaking, and education. Shedden has advocated at the United Nations to help end child abuse and has developed expertise in trauma-informed care, mental health education, and survivor advocacy. Her public speaking engagements include conferences and events where she addresses trauma, healing, and mental health topics.

As host of the "Found Life Podcast," Shedden provides a platform dedicated to trauma healing. The show features personal stories, interviews with individuals on healing journeys, and discussions with mental health experts. Weekly solo episodes explore mental health topics, drawing insights from books, cinema, and self-help resources. Thursday episodes highlight interviews with guests who have overcome trauma, while Friday episodes offer guided meditations. The podcast has featured guests such as psychologist and memoirist Dr. Ingrid Clayton and covers topics including trauma and ADHD, fitness, and frequency therapy.

In addition to her podcast, Shedden has developed educational courses such as the "Trauma Healing Roadmap," designed to support individuals beginning their healing journey, particularly those without consistent access to therapy. As a TEDx speaker, Shedden addressed the importance of therapeutic work environments for clinical teams, advocating for group therapy opportunities and spaces for restoration and nourishment. Through her work, Shedden continues to advocate for trauma healing, mental health awareness, and education, contributing to broader understanding and support within the mental health community.
