About me

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.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

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.

She should be willing and open to seeing all clients. Her speciality should be "religious therapy" only.

I've been making progress in different areas. I have plenty of nice things, even some exciting things, in my life, and also some areas that need continued attention so that I can keep growing and healing. Tenisha has been helpful in pointing out the good aspects of my life while also informing me of things that need to get better.
