Hi there, I'm Tonya Bunch. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7+ years experience serving the community. I help high performers, emotional suffering, and trauma survivors to manage burnout, and learn emotion regulation, mindfulness, and recovery in trauma. Together we will work to identify what is working and what is not working for you to help balance your life. We will use a person-centered approach to balance your mind, body, spirit and environment. I love using strength-based and mindfulness to help you learn that you have the coping skills to manage your struggles. Whether you are seeking help for anxiety, depression, trauma or relationship issues, I am here to help. Seeking therapy is scary and taking the first step is the hardest. I am here to support you nonjudgmentally, no matter the issue. You are making the right choice. I give you the space and time to build a therapeutic relationship to reach your goals. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I will meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits that have been holding you back. Let's work together!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is an intake/assessment. This is to get to know you better and develop a personalized treatment plan. Once that is completed the first session is a mood check-in. We discuss your issues and work on any observations of concerns. I may ask what was a good part/not so good part of your week as well. I may recommend practice assignments or apps to use to assist you in building your healthy "coping" toolbox.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Process Therapy (CPT). I love working with clients who are struggling with trauma and emotional suffering. I understand how difficult it is to ask for help in these two areas and I am here for you. I help you keep on track with either DBT, CPT, or other evidence-based therapy. I am here with you during the difficult times to carry you through and help you gain your new coping skills. I look at it as we are a team, you are doing the work, and I am here to guide you. This is hard work and I know you can do it! I have seen it done and it is amazing. You are worth it. You can learn how to regulate your emotions, build healthy relationships, cope with stressful moments, and manage your recovery from trauma, relationship issues, career struggles, anxiety and/or depression.
