Description
Greetings! My name is Tesha Thornton, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor offering therapy services virtually for clients residing in Virginia. I have been in the field of mental health for 20 years. My experience is extremely broad as I have held positions providing individual and family counseling services within juvenile detention centers, crisis intervention services for several Virginia localities, emergency room assessments, and court liaison services for foster care children. Currently, my focus areas of practice include relationship issues and decisions, loneliness, grief, life and career transitions, military members and spouses, stress management, and those struggling with issues stemming from the pandemic, including social anxiety and depression.
My treatment approach is eclectic as I utilize various treatment modalities when working with clients, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness.
I welcome clients all clients, especially those who have a need to form a therapeutic alliance with a BIPOC clinician who is understanding of culturally sensitive situations. I am an ally of the LGBTQIA community and have experience working with people who identify in this community. I retired from the Air National Guard in 2017, so my military career exposed me to several experiences that are relatable to those serving in the military.
