Counselors - Destin, FL

"I have been attending therapy sessions with Tonya for about six months now. She has helped me to identify and articulate past trauma and has given me tools to work through these issues. As with any mental health issue the onus is on the client to actually do the work in order to gain results, there is no magic bullet cure and you will have to own your behaviors before you can make any progress. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone else. "

" Without a doubt, trusting her was the best decision I ever made! Within our first hour session, I noticed a positive change in my self-image after being reminded of the importance of self-forgiveness. Her "down to earth" personailty provides a comfortable, non-judgmental atmosphere. Her witty humor never fails to dissolve the negative energy at the perfect moment. She gives practical, blunt, yet honest advice. She's very intuitive even at times I struggle to verbalize what I'm currently thinking or feeling, empathetic and reassuring when questioning my sanity at times and to never forget that I am never alone!!! ??? She has a gentle approach to processing any past trauma that refrains from re-traumatizing. She has taught me how to identify unrealistic thoughts/fears so I can make positive change and completely heal. Lastly, I have found meaning and purpose in life to pay it forward by using pain to empathize with others who are struggling and to positively change lives just as she has changed mine. <3"
