Get to know me
Tanyka is a very conscientious, honest, and compassionate person. She brings a sharp, brilliant mind and unquestionable integrity to every task or assignment she undertakes. She is licensed in 5 states and the District of Columbia. You’ll never have to question her work ethic or commitment to you and your project.
The compilation of joyful and challenging life and professional experiences inspired and propelled me to be a licensed psychotherapist and coach. As my knowledge base, skill set, and professional sense of self increased, advancing from a frontline worker to management and leadership positions, I developed a passion and expertise for program and system development, training, and consulting. I desire to empower you to do even more remarkable in life and business.
A few major accomplishments throughout my career:
- In 2007, I founded Behind The Veil Consultations, PLLC. BTV, as it has come to be known, is a private Christian counseling practice.
- In 2014, I founded Behind The Veil Ministries®️, LLC, a ministry dedicated to providing workshops/seminars and pastoral counseling to pastors, spouses, and church leadership dealing with infidelity, sexual addiction, etc.

- In September 2022, I established Renewing H.O.P.E., Inc., a non-profit organization slated to launch in the Summer of 2023.
I am a proud wife and mother. In February 2020, I married the perfect man for me, Daric Abbott! Together, we have four children, Cheyenne, Caldwyn, Brendan, and Tiara.
