About us
Tranquil Horizon Health & Wellness of Central Texas LLC was founded in 2022 by our CEO, Tawana McCou MS., BSHM, AA behavioral health scientist, health psychology specialist, consultant & strategist. With over 20+ years in healthcare (dental & medical) clinical & operations, her commitment aimed to transform how individuals and organizations experience behavioral health, resilience, and leadership in environments. After witnessing firsthand the toll that chronic illness, workplace dysfunction, burnout, and trauma can take on both people and healthcare systems, we saw a need for a consulting model that focus on behavioral science and organizational strategy. Our journey began with a vision: to strengthens entire healthcare organizations through trauma-informed practices, behavioral insight, and evidence-based strategies.
