About Dr. Tasha Holland-Kornegay
Meet Dr. Tasha Holland-Kornegay
Dr. Tasha Holland-Kornegay blends clinical expertise with porch-side wisdom (and a little pet hair). She’s not just talking about wellness—she’s lived it, shared it, and written about it.
The Work
Licensed mental health therapist (across multiple states)
Certified Animal Assisted Therapist
Animals and Human Health certificate, Denver University
Author, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur
She specializes in bringing animals into the healing process—whether online or in-person—so therapy feels less like a session and more like a conversation with hope in the room.
The Why
Curiosity has always been Tasha’s superpower. She loves studying people—their stories, cultures, and perceptions—and turning problems into solutions (and solutions into possibilities). For her, helping people isn’t just a calling. It’s a love affair.
Early Roots
From nonprofit halls to school counseling offices, her career started in community spaces that grounded her practice in compassion, practicality, and purpose.
