Toni Childs

My communication style

My communication style is direct and respectful. Non-judgmental and full acceptance of the person as a person. I am a good listener and I am calm.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always felt good helping people (even as a child), with problems and concerns, helping them feel better about themselves and their relationship with loved ones. I feel empathy and compassion for people and connect easily with them. I want to help people make a difference in their lives.

My goals for you

I actively listen to my client to understand the challenges so that I can help identify and prioritize their concerns. We will achieve goals together to address their concerns and develop tools and strategies to make progress toward their goals.

Our first session

You will probably be nervous in the first session and that is normal. You should expect a calm and comfortable environment so that you can feel safe and be able to talk about whatever you feel is necessary. We will see how we connect and see if we fit together. Sense of connection is most important.

I identify as...

• Female
• Hispanic or Latinx, American Indian or Alaska Native
• Christian, Spiritual
