Takenya Jones-Stewart
Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Masters from Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, and have practiced for 10 years. I aim to assist you in navigating challenges and promoting a positive mindset through thoughtful and compassionate interventions.
I offer therapy, counseling, and support to help clients cope with life's challenges, improve their mental health, and enhance their overall well-being.

First session
In the first session with me, clients can expect a welcoming and non-judgmental environment where they can share their reasons for seeking therapy. We'll discuss their background, current challenges, and goals for therapy. This initial session focuses on building rapport and understanding their unique needs. We'll explore their concerns, and I'll provide an overview of how we can work together to address them. It's an opportunity for clients to ask questions, set expectations, and start developing a collaborative therapeutic relationship.
Strengths
As a therapist, my greatest strengths are my empathy, active listening skills, and adaptability. I create a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to express themselves openly. I actively listen to understand their experiences and perspectives deeply, and I adapt my therapeutic approach to meet their unique needs and goals. My commitment to ongoing learning and my ability to provide evidence-based interventions further support clients in their journey toward improved mental health and well-being.
Ideal clients
The ideal therapy client is open to self-exploration and motivated to engage in the therapeutic process. They are willing, to be honest and transparent about their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and are ready to work collaboratively to set and achieve personal goals. This client is committed to attending sessions regularly and is open to feedback and new perspectives. They also recognize that change takes time and are patient and persistent in improving their mental health and well-being.
