TonyaJo (she/her)

Licensed Independent Clinical social worker / Therapist

TonyaJo is deeply committed to holding a compassionate space for ALL.  Her own wounds are seen as a source of shared experience, vunerabilities, and healing that can enhance the relationship fostering a deeper therapeutic connection with someone seeking support.

TonyaJo draws upon multiple influences to create a unique, effective healing experience for her clients. She does not consider herself an expert, she sees herself as someone who works with you to uncover your strengths to heal what may be hidden within you. She believes that healing is an individualistic unique process that opens up ones' soul to a place of awareness, relationship, acceptance, a sense of belonging, and purpose. 

TonyaJo is an eclectic therapist offering a holistic, mindful, and trauma-informed perspective.  She shares gifts of theories from the healing of Expressive Arts, Attachment & Bonding, Internal Family Systems, Compassion Focused Therapy, Nature Appreciation, Intergrative Holistic Health, and Nutrition. Her work is greatly inspired by; Peter Levine, Richards Schwarts, Gabor Mate, Arielle Schwartz, Marry Ainsworth, Bessel Van der Kolk, and Amy Banks to name a few.

Tonya Jo approaches healing with passion, curiosity, openness, and care. She believes it is an honor to be part of someone's (rhythmic) path of mending and healing.
