Hello, I'm Tondala, Sometimes, asking for help is difficult and you took the first step. Life can feel like a whirlwind at times and you don't know what to do or how to feel. I help a diverse group of people manage relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. We can identify the root causes and develop ways to address them. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness ( meditation/breathing exercises/guided imagery) to work through our struggles and get you back to baseline or a balance you can accept. I integrate exposure therapy to reduce anxiety attacks and improve functioning with friends/family members and in the community. Life can bring you many challenges and you do not have to face them alone. I am here to help you. Therapy can be an opportunity for you to discuss your issues and develop ways to have a more balanced life. I look forward to working with you!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

You can expect to answer questions about yourself during the first session. I will be getting to know you, your symptoms, how you cope, and what you want to gain from therapy. You can expect to discuss your goals and develop a treatment plan. After each session, we will review the key points, state at least one positive, and discuss what worked well and what did not, and the plan for the week until the next session.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I used cognitive behavioral therapy to address irrational thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness is utilized to help clients stay focused on the present and one thing at a time. Exposure therapy is implemented with clients experiencing high stress and anxiety.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My biggest strength is having the opportunity to gain twenty-seven years of experience with children and adults from diverse backgrounds to work in different industries to help people deal with the curve ball they've been thrown and learn ways to feel better about themselves and their lives.
