Hi, my name is Tenya, Congratulations on taking the first step toward becoming your best self. The journey toward mental health isn't always easy, but, I believe that if a client and therapist are a good fit the relationship created can make the difficult situations easier. I have a long history of working with the veteran population and children with severe emotional problems. My focus has been dealing with trauma, relationships, depression and anxiety issues that impact your ability to function in day-to-day life. If you are struggling to cope with life stressors we will use talk therapy while I keep in mind that you are a full, complex person. I will always come to each session with compassion, expertise and my full present mind. I look forward to working with you soon
The first session with consist of me getting to know you, not your problems, you.
I have 13 years of experience working with the veteran population which has increased my experience and knowledge of working with trauma (combat and non-combat related), depression, substance abuse and anxiety. I also have 8 years of experience working with children with emotional issues.
My ideal client would be someone who is ready to process their past in an effort to change their present ability to manage their emotions. They will be open to less structure and be open to creating an environment of mutual respect, healing and growth. They will be interested in mindfulness/meditation and how to incorporate it into their lives. They will be ready to do the work needed outside of sessions.
