Facilitated by Tiana "Tee" Townsend, LMFT
is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Amazon bestselling author, and founder of Wiselign Consulting, LLC. For more than a decade she has walked with individuals, families, and organizations through the seasons that change everything.
She is also the single mother of a nonspeaking son. That relationship taught her what no degree could: presence matters more than perfection, and love does not require words to be real.
Anchored grew out of a question she asked herself in the quiet hours. Who holds the caregiver? Using her 4R framework (Regulate, Relate, Reinforce, Reward), Tiana helps caregivers set down the grind, rebuild their capacity, and remember they were never meant to carry it alone.
Her guiding conviction is simple. Grace over grind.
This Skills Group...
...helps you find your own regulation.
You've spent years learning your child's cues. Eight weeks on learning yours: what your dysregulation looks like before it becomes a crisis, and what actually brings you back.
...makes room for grief and joy at the same time.
Ambiguous loss, anger, and shame are the things nobody says out loud in autism parent spaces. We say them here, and you'll learn why holding both isn't a failure to move on.
...builds a plan you can actually keep.
A tiered self-care plan, a map of the village you already have, and a way to tell the difference between being tired from your child and being tired from the system.
..is not therapy, and that's on purpose.
It's an educational skills group, so what you learn here you take with you. If you're already in therapy, this works alongside it. If you're not, this isn't a substitute for it. No diagnosis, no treatment plan, no clinical file. Just teaching, from someone who's licensed to know the difference.
