Tunyaluk Batchan, LMFT — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Tunyaluk!

You can call me "Tonya", and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), EMDRIA-certified therapist, DoD veteran, and military spouse. I am dedicated to walking alongside adults as they navigate life’s challenges and heal from past experiences in a warm, safe, and collaborative space.

My focus

I specialize in supporting adults (ages 18 and above) facing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, operational stress, and difficult childhood experiences. My ideal clients are people seeking relief from emotional struggles, healing past pain, building healthier relationships, and creating a more meaningful life.

My approach

My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and systemic, combining EMDR, CBT, DBT, Family Systems, and narrative therapies. I look at relationships, environments, and life experiences to provide holistic, evidence-based care.

My communication style

I maintain a compassionate, authentic, and culturally responsive communication style. Guided by deep cultural fluency and empathy, I ensure that clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and valued throughout their therapeutic journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

My clinical path is shaped by my experience as a first-generation Thai immigrant, military spouse, mother, and DoD veteran with 14 years of federal service. Managing complex military systems gave me deep insight into operational stress, driving my passion for guiding others toward resilience and inner peace.

My goals for you

I empower clients with psychoeducation and evidence-based tools that build self-understanding and practical coping skills. I also guide clients in engaging support from family, friends, and community networks to support sustainable healing and growth.

Our first session

Expect a welcoming, low-pressure space to discuss your story, goals, and needs. Together, we’ll set a strong foundation and build a tailored roadmap for your healing journey.
