Description
My name is Tonya, and I bring over a decade of experience in substance abuse and co-occurring disorders, working with both children and adults. I hold a master’s degree in psychology, and I own a virtual private practice that provides outpatient treatment and life coaching services. In my free time, I love exploring the great outdoors and enjoying long walks with my dog, Sandy.
In my practice, I embrace a holistic and client-centered approach to therapy. I believe that each person has the potential for growth and change, and I am here to support that journey.
I often begin with Motivational Interviewing, helping clients to find their own motivation for change. This approach empowers them to take meaningful steps toward their personal goals. Alongside this, I incorporate Solution-Focused Therapy, where we work together to identify strengths and resources. This collaboration allows us to develop practical solutions for immediate challenges and offers a sense of empowerment and resilience.
Creating a supportive and non-judgmental space is at the heart of my work. Through Client-Centered Therapy, I ensure that every client feels heard, valued, and understood. This foundation of trust and empathy is crucial for meaningful therapeutic progress.
Additionally, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients explore and modify negative thought patterns. This process aids in improving emotional regulation and developing healthier coping strategies, enabling clients to deal with life's challenges more effectively.
My goal is to offer a compassionate and tailored therapeutic experience that promotes healing, growth, and overall well-being.
