Bio

My Name is Tonie White and I believe that everyone has the ability to aid in their healing process and make the sought changes for a comprehensive healthier life. Tapping into your internal courage, strength, and gained resilience provides a meaningful pathway to the journey toward healing and restoration of self. I believe that we are not the sum of our decisions and that the course of life may have been etched in some challenges, choices, and decisions that leave a residue of frayed ends and fragmented life pieces that may be stagnating and overwhelming.

I offer a safe, nonjudgmental strength-based approach and environment, honoring your story, your journey, and the strength gained from and through life’s journey. Helping my clients rewrite their own narrative, and build emotional and personal equity as they journey toward healing and balance is a shared goal where I strive to join you.

Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Client-Centered, and Strength-Based clinical approaches helps provide the platform and navigate toward empowerment and healing. I consider it an honor and clinical fuel to work with my clients as they find their voice, build their personal capital of value and worth and grow into their renewed and healthy self-talk and self-definition.
