Tonga Bryant

Hi I’m Tonga, a LPC in the state of AZ. I earned my masters degree in 2007 from Southern University in Baton Rouge, LA. I have been licensed for 12 years and providing therapeutic services for over 22 years. I specialize in person centered therapy that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy when trauma is present. I am an ally of individuals who identify as a part of the LBGTQ+ community as well as those who are BIPOC.

I take a collaborative approach as a therapist whereby I connect with clients in a way that puts them in the drivers seat. You define your goals, while I may share items that you mention which may be helpful to address in treatment, you have the final say regarding what you want to address in treatment. I have a masters degree in mental health counseling and have worked with individuals & families from a variety of backgrounds.

It is my belief that all the answers needed or desired are found inside of each individual. Therapy is a way of unlocking some of those answers. I enjoy teaching and practicing skills within sessions and assigning homework after new skills are introduced to solidify the tool into practice.
