Tonya White (they/them)

Do you sense there is a more grounded, present, and joyful way of being in your life? Is your intuition telling you that there are parts of your psyche and memory that want to be attended to so they can be released? Are you perhaps afraid of how big or painful these thing might be to look at? Are you hoping there is a way to engage in this process in a paced way that also turns out to be quite efficient? Do you feel a lot of this in your body? Are you intrigued by the idea of allowing your body to lead the way and trusting the wisdom that's waiting inside of you to guide you along your healing journey? Feelings and behaviors happening for you now are intending to protect you. You learned some of them in a real hurry in the past. You also learned them in a societal context of oppression that continues to affect everyone's mental health. With IFS, EMDR, and a focus on the body, we can get to know the you that can access self-compassion, curiosity, and calm. I invite you to pause and listen to the wisest part of yourself, even if it is only a whisper right now. If you feel a sense of a yes, or at least a curiosity, please reach out and we can explore the possibility of journeying together. I am in awe of the wisdom and insights I witness in people every day and I am excited to meet you! I am a queer licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), artist, dancer, animal lover, and generally curious person who loves the woods. It is my intention to provide services that support people of all races, genders, religions, neurodivergence, and abilities. I believe that everyone deserves to find safety within themselves, and to discover their authentic way of being in the world. The world needs each and every one of us to access rest and joy, so we can move beyond just surviving and toward thriving.
