Hello, my name is Tenisha Seniguar-Morakinyo, LPCC License#13468 with over 12 years of experience working with diverse populations. My approach to therapy is every individual is valuable and deserves to be heard and treated with dignity and respect by taking a non-judgmental stance. I respect clients' legal rights to confidentiality to create a safe environment to develop trust and a strong therapeutic alliance.
Introductions and initial rapport development. What brought you to therapy? A thorough explanation of the following: 1. Informed consent: scope of practice 2. Limits of Confidentiality: (Danger to self or others, Child abuse or neglect, Elder or dependent adult abuse). 3. The Clinical Assessment Process. 4. Psychotherapy format: a. Establishing S.M.A.R.T Goals. b. 45 min sessions weekly until the client determines readiness to step down to a lower level of care. c. 1- 2 check-ins via messaging between sessions. d. Homework Assignments including assessments and worksheets. e. The Benefits of Journaling. f. Evaluating your Progress towards goals. Ask where would the client like to start. Develop a plan for the next session.
My strengths as a provider include my communication style is Supporter/Relater: I am empathetic, compassionate, calm, cool, and collected. I purposefully work to avoid unnecessary conflicts. I am happiest when everyone is getting along, and I can be found to be the person who puts herself last if it means peace and harmony are the end result. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own pain and challenges in life. After I worked to receive my own healing, wholeness and wrote my story of survival, I began to develop empathy and compassion for other people who were hurting. Now, I consider myself as a healed healer moved to help others by instilling hope for a better future.
I am best positioned to serve clients that I specialize in working with (please see speciality list).

Ms. Tenisha is very lovely, kind, empathetic and easy to open up and talk to which is something I struggle with. She gives homework assignments so you can work on your issues when not in session which I find helpful and necessary, and most importantly she gives you HOPE. She shows you that there is a path out of darkness. Very good with anxiety. I feel that if I continue to work with her, I can be normal again.
