More about Tenisha
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
Hello, and welcome. I am a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, insight, and practical support. I have over 10 years of experience working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem difficulties, and trauma.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based cognitive and behavioral therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). I help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, build healthier coping strategies, increase emotional regulation, and develop skills to create meaningful and lasting change.
I believe therapy should be a collaborative and supportive process tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. Whether you are facing a difficult life transition, struggling with emotional challenges, or simply seeking personal growth, I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered.
I look forward to working with you on your journey toward greater well-being and resilience.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
