My name is Tonya, and I bring over a decade of experience in substance abuse and co-occurring disorders, working with adults. I hold a master’s degree in psychology and run 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.
I often begin with Motivational Interviewing, to help clients to take steps toward their personal goals. I incorporate Solution-Focused Therapy, where we work together to identify strengths and resources. Through Client-Centered Therapy, I ensure that every client feels heard, valued, and understood. I use CBT to help clients explore and modify negative thought patterns.
During our first session, my primary goal is to make you feel comfortable and supported. You can expect to gain a clear understanding of what our treatment process will involve, including an overview of how our sessions will be structured and what goals we can work towards. Overall, the first session is about setting the stage for a collaborative and positive therapeutic experience, ensuring you feel informed, comfortable, and ready to begin this journey.
