How do you work with clients with anxiety?

I specialize in supporting clients in their desire to heal and enhance their lives. I enjoy helping individuals cultivate inner awareness. I collaborate with clients to equip them with skills to pursue their authentic goals.

I have a passion for helping women like you build confidence, boost self-esteem, and make positive changes in their lives.

I'm Tena, a licensed counselor in Arizona, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania. I started Sunridge Counseling in 2022 and have been providing therapy since 2016. I received my master's degree in Professional Counseling in 2016 and went on to work with teens, adults, and families struggling with trauma, anxiety, neurodiversity, and depression. I am EMDR trained and certified in TF-CBT. When I'm not with clients, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, reading, going to the gym, and hiking. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or need help coping with a traumatic event, you have come to the right place. What if you could not only manage your anxiety, but experience much less of it? Imagine if you could understand yourself better, be more comfortable in your relationships, and create a meaningful life beyond trauma. I'm here to accept you as you are, while we develop and work towards your goals. I tailor all treatments to your needs and offer EMDR, CBT, TF-CBT and DBT. I know change is hard, but I'm here to walk with you you every step of the way. Contact me to set up a free consultation.

I am seeking clients who may be new to Telehealth but want to give it a try. I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step to seeing a counselor. I am here to take the stigma away and help you to feel comfortable with navigating through your life struggles through talk therapy. Telehealth provides the option for you to be in the safety and comfort of your own private space. No time wasted for traveling and scheduling is easy. I offer a holistic approach with a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR and mindfulness practice. In 2011, I graduated from Missouri State University with a Masters Degree in Social Work. As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), I have worked in a variety of settings including both inpatient and outpatient services. I enjoy working with adults with a wide range of problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, chronic illness/pain, family dysfunctions, low self-esteem, poor social and coping skills, issues related to acculturation and assimilation, blending of cultures, and past trauma. Prior to pursuing my own private practice, I worked for an inpatient psychiatric and behavioral hospital helping many children, adolescents and families work through trauma, emotional distress, behavioral modification, and family dysfunctions. Telehealth takes the awkwardness of in-person therapy away and it has been very effective for the majority of my clients. Call or email me for a free consultation. I’m accepting all clients residing in Missouri. Let’s take the first step to healing together!

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist with years of experience treating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, OCD, life transitions, PTSD, and more. While I have an extensive background working with many different mental health diagnoses, I specialize in anxiety and am passionate about helping you manage anxiety, stress, and overwhelm through evidenced-based treatments. I will teach you skills that will allow you to feel confident in your abilities to manage your own emotions and work towards reaching personal goals, such as improving self-esteem and self-compassion.  I have an eclectic approach to therapy, pulling mainly from Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapies. As your therapist, I will honor your unique complexities and help you to look at many different aspects of your life that could be impacting your mental health, including environment, physical health, relationships, etc. I bring a warm, fun, and passionate approach to therapy and genuinely want to help you feel better and work towards reaching your personal and emotional goals.  When you are ready to prioritize yourself and your well-being, quiet the mental “noise”, and improve your overall quality of life, call me to schedule your first appointment. I work with adults (individuals and couples) 18 and older.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over seven years of experience. I obtained my undergraduate degree from Texas A&M and Masters degree from the University of Houston - Clear Lake. I believe everyone has the ability to live a happy, healthy and fulfilling life. My job is to help you uncover the tools and skills to assist you in living your best and most fulfilling life. 

I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I practice exclusively by telehealth. I help adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, self esteem and or substance abuse / alcohol issues.

Are you anxious and overwhelmed? Are you feeling alone? Are you grieving a loss? Are you parenting a child with complex medical issues? Are you depressed? Do you feel like no one understands you? I want to create the space for you to share all of your emotions and problems so you can start living the life you dreamed of. I want to understand what you are feeling and I want to help you get to the place where things are better. I provide counseling for adult women and adolescents specializing in trauma, complex grief, depression, anxiety and Christian counseling. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience in a variety of settings . My approach is to lead with empathy and to help you feel understood, heard and validated. I have a gentle spirit but will also speak the truth with kindness. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to share your emotions while also providing practical tools for you to utilize. I want to help you understand your past so you can change your present and have hope for your future. I believe the most important part of therapy is establishing a therapeutic relationship and having the hope you can change. I am trained in DBT, EMDR, Perinatal Mental Health and Advanced Grief Counseling. Head to my website to schedule your free 15 minute consultation with me.

Like many therapist profiles, this page could list my degrees and credentials, provide a vague description of what clients I work with, and be distant but warm; however, that is not how I work with clients or how I am in the world. I want this page to help you decide if we’ll work well together, not just list the things I’ve done. What you probably want to know is 1) do I know what I’m doing and 2) are we a good fit in working together. I have been working in the mental health field, specifically with eating disorders, since 2014 in a variety of capacities including inpatient, residential, and crisis stabilization programs. I am passionate about eating disorder recovery and collaborating with patients to find balance in their lives. I am body-positive and Health at Every Size (HAES) aligned. I have experience in working with families, couples, and individuals in addition to facilitating group therapy. My primary focus lies in helping to support clients and their loved ones in understanding and moving forward in the path to recovery through individual and family therapy. I have earned the distinction of being a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) by the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals, and have been an officeholder for the Heartland chapter of iaedp since 2019 and remained committed to pursuing ongoing education within the field. There are so many people who hesitate to come to therapy or to move forward in eating disorder recovery due to having been previously unsuccessful with a “one size fits all” approach. I work with you to figure it out. I’m not a smile-and-nod, sit in silence type of therapist. I'll call you out on your BS, but I can do that in a way where we can both laugh. I'm not afraid to talk about anything you need to talk about. Intrusive thoughts? Feeling like you’re the only person to feel this way? You’d be surprised to find that you’re not alone. Therapy will provide a safe space to be yourself and a supportive environment to help meet you where you’re at and work towards creating lasting change in your life.
