About

Guided by the belief that our past does not define us, Tonia N. Adams, MS, LMHC, LPC, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who empowers clients to find meaning in their suffering and unlock their potential for growth. With over eight years of experience in the mental health field, Tonia brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to her practice, helping individuals navigate life's challenges and discover their true selves.

Tonia's approach to therapy is rooted in her Christian faith and informed by existential principles. She creates a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their authentic selves, addressing the question, "What does it look like to be me?" By integrating spiritual, emotional, physical, and social aspects of a person's being, Tonia facilitates a holistic healing process that leads to a more fulfilling life.

Specializing in a wide range of mental health concerns, Tonia's areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, relationship issues, ADHD, abandonment issues, and women's issues. She employs a variety of proven therapeutic techniques, tailoring her approach to each client's unique situation. Tonia is particularly adept at helping individuals identify and replace unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors with more purposeful, joy-filled, and God-honoring alternatives.

Tonia holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University Online and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Texas. Her academic background, combined with her personal experiences navigating family challenges such as death, divorce, suicide, terminal illness, and alcoholism, has cultivated a deep empathy and understanding for those grappling with life's complexities.

In addition to her clinical work, Tonia is also an author, having recently published a book that explores the often-taboo subject of being Christian, rejecting God, and contemplating suicide. This personal journey, which ultimately led to a strengthening of her faith and purpose, informs her therapeutic approach and allows her to connect deeply with clients facing similar struggles.

Clients working with Tonia can expect a compassionate, transparent, and practical approach to therapy. She often shares personal experiences when therapeutically beneficial and offers practical exercises to help clients reach their goals. Tonia believes in the power of God's love and the importance of community in the healing process, encouraging clients to draw strength from their faith and support systems as they work towards personal growth and healing.
