Tonjesia Gilchrist

My name is Tonjesia Gilchrist and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am empathetic and passionate about helping clients navigate life's stressors. As a Christian Counselor my hope is to encourage clients to identify and challenge limiting beliefs while incorporating faith into the therapeutic relationship. As an Army veteran I have a thorough knowledge of working with active-duty service members, veterans and their families around trauma.

I'm a firm believer that counseling is a joint effort that involves both the training of the counselor and work with commitment on the part of the client. No one theory of counseling fits all situations; therefore, I prefer to utilize research-based counseling theories and techniques that fit the particular counseling situations and clients. I specialize in many different life challenges including life-transitions, career changes, anxiety, depression, spiritual problems, and trauma.

During the first session, You can tell me about what issues or concerns you are wanting to work on and I will be available to answer any questions you might have about therapy with me. My hope is that this meeting will give us a good idea of whether we might work well together. If you decide you would like to continue to meet with me, then at the end of the session we will be able to complete some paperwork and schedule another appointment to begin our journey together.
