Tonya Lott

My communication style

Through patience and kindness, I aim to create a space to slow down and explore thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together with clients, we reflect on experiences, gently address incongruence, and develop deeper self-awareness and a stronger sense of self.

My journey to mental healthcare

Early in my career, my approach was more clinical, focused on diagnosis and symptoms. Over time, through my own healing experiences and working closely with clients, I have shifted further to a person-centered approach that emphasizes understanding each person's story, fostering self-awareness, and supporting authentic growth.

My goals for you

My approach is guided by each client's unique needs. I support clients in gaining clarity about what they truly need, fostering autonomy and authenticity. Together, we work collaboratively to define goals. We explore patterns and insights that promote growth and self-mastery.

Our first session

A first session is a chance to slow down and get to know each other. Will talk about history, what brings you to therapy, and any current challenges. I prioritize creating a safe, supportive space and explain confidentiality. We explore goals and begin building a foundation for trust, clarity, and self understanding. I guide with gentle curiosity.
