Tesia Stokes Jean
Hello, my name is Tesia, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 13 years of professional experience. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, post-traumatic stress, and experiences of abuse. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals and families with communication and relational dynamics. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, supported, and free from judgment. Many people spend their lives caring for others without having a place of their own to process what they carry. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions while developing the tools needed to heal and grow.
I have worked as a trauma and anxiety specialist for over six years, helping survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and violent crime.
I am deeply committed to making therapy accessible and affordable. I understand that reaching out for help is not easy, and for many, it can feel like one of the hardest steps to take. Choosing to begin therapy is a powerful first step toward becoming the best version of yourself, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
First session
During our first session, we focus on getting to know one another and beginning to build a strong therapeutic relationship. This initial meeting is an opportunity to see if we are a good fit, as not every personality or approach works for everyone—and that’s okay. After a brief introduction, we will discuss what has brought you to therapy and explore your current concerns. Together, we will begin developing a treatment plan and identify goals you would like to work toward in therapy, at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive for you.
Strengths
My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and grounded in years of experience supporting individuals impacted by anxiety and traumatic life events. I have worked as a trauma and anxiety specialist for over six years, helping survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and violent crime. I also have experience working with incarcerated individuals, veterans, and military dependents. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can process their experiences, develop effective coping skills, and move toward healing and emotional stability.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with adults who are navigating life’s challenges and feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or past experiences. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals who have experienced trauma or ongoing anxiety related to difficult or distressing life events. My ideal client is someone who is open to self-reflection and growth and is seeking a safe, supportive space to heal, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
