Tonya is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over eight years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals of all ages across a variety of therapeutic settings. She earned her degree from Liberty University and brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to every client she serves.
Her expertise spans mental health assessments, alcohol and drug assessments, and parent capacity assessments, with additional specialization in anger management, substance use education, and parenting education. Tonya’s work with children is informed by her training in play therapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), helping younger clients build healthy emotional and behavioral foundations.
Tonya’s therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but she is flexible, intuitive, and deeply responsive to each client’s individual needs — adapting her methods in real time based on how clients are feeling and engaging in the moment. She creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can gain insight into their emotions, understand how past experiences shape the present, and develop practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and life’s everyday challenges.
She works with adults, children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, anger, substance use concerns, relationship issues, and more.
