Our Services
Mental Health Awareness
Depression
Anxiety
PTSD
Trauma changes how your brain sees safety. PTSD keeps you stuck in survival mode. Flashbacks, hypervigilance, avoidance—these are ways your mind tries to protect you. But healing is possible. You can train your nervous system to recognize safety again. We teach grounding tools, help you build a sense of internal security, and work toward reclaiming your sense of now.

Client Testimonials
“I was skeptical about therapy. I had tried a few therapists in the past and didn’t feel seen. But here, I found someone who really got it. We talked about my anxiety around work performance, but also about being a Black man navigating stress and expectations. It’s been a game-changer. I don’t just cope—I’m growing.”
James Alan
“What stood out to me was the empathy and skill of my therapist. I’ve struggled with perfectionism and shame for most of my adult life. Through therapy and the skills lab sessions, I finally learned how to soothe my inner critic. I feel like I can breathe again. Therapy didn’t fix me—it helped me meet myself with kindness.”
“Therapy helped me understand patterns I was blind to—especially in relationships. I used to push people away before they could hurt me. Now I see how fear was driving me, and I’ve started building real, open connections. I didn’t expect to feel so supported. I’m grateful I gave this space a chance.”
“I began therapy because I felt constantly overwhelmed and unsure of my place in the world. My therapist helped me make sense of my anxiety and gave me real tools to cope. The mindfulness work we did together shifted how I relate to myself. I no longer feel broken—I feel human.”
“I came in feeling numb and disconnected. Years of pushing down emotions had left me empty. Through therapy, I started to understand my emotional world for the first time. I even learned how to talk about feelings with my teenage son. That’s something I never thought I’d be able to do.”
“I work in a helping profession, so I thought I should have it all figured out. But therapy showed me that even caregivers need care. I loved the blend of compassion and structure my therapist brought. The two-hour sessions were particularly transformative—they gave me time to unpack and rebuild.”
“For years, I thought my relationship issues were just bad luck. But therapy helped me understand attachment styles, boundaries, and my own patterns. I learned to stop chasing unavailable people and start showing up for myself. It’s been deeply healing.”
“I never thought I’d be someone who goes to therapy. But I hit a wall and couldn’t keep pretending everything was fine. From the first session, I felt a deep respect and safety here. We unpacked years of suppressed grief and stress. I’ve come out stronger, not just mentally, but emotionally and spiritually too.”
“As a young woman dealing with depression and identity confusion, therapy gave me a place to speak freely. I no longer feel like I’m faking confidence. I’ve found my voice, and for the first time, I actually feel like I belong in my own life.”
“Tonya is a great listener and very knowledgeable. She knows how to ask the right questions! She brought a very helpful external perspective to help me discover limiting beliefs hidden deep with my subconscious. Our conversations had a very restorative feeling to them and I would highly recommend working with her to help you improve your well being and mindset. Thank you Tonya.”

“Sometimes life can get really complicated and it can present to you many challenges at the same time. This is how I felt before working with Tonya. I felt overwhelmed with so many difficult and demanding situations. I didn’t know how to face and solve all of them. During my coaching sessions with Tonya, I could experience mind clarity, confidence, and accountability. She is an excellent listener and she asked me the perfect questions that helped me realize how to get on board and take the control of my life again. I can highly recommend Tonya as a coach”

“Tonya has been a great support for me as I navigated a very difficult time in my life. She has helped me to recognize the importance of self-care and understand how certain limiting beliefs may be impacting my behaviours and thoughts and how that contributes to my anxiety. She is always quick to respond and a truly compassionate person! I have benefited greatly from her support.”

“Getting matched with Tonya is a blessing that I am forever thankful for. I used to think that it is going to be uncomfortable doing counselling but now I am always looking forward to her sessions. Tonya always listens and checks on me, always validating my feelings. She doesn’t just give me answers- she guides me through until we find them. It feels so good to go from my depressed self to where I am now, looking at life from a better perspective. Thank you, Tonya 🙂 “

“I’ve found my sessions with you really helpful. As someone who has no prior experience with therapy or counselling sessions, you helped me feel at ease and heard. I appreciated that your approach was always one that was consistently supportive, and not overly assertive. I also appreciated the fact that instead of just telling me the tools and solutions I should be using, you sought for my immediate feedback on how helpful I’d imagined them to be. This further encouraged me to think out loud and assess how different situations would play out, and therefore increase my confidence in the effectiveness of these tools (or how I can tweak them slightly to cater to the situations that I was in)”

“Tonya was my first experience as a counselor. She was very helpful and and listened to my flow of words without interrupting and always encouraging me to talk. She has a very kind approach and makes you feel in a safe space. I’d definitely recommend her to my friends”
Daniela

“Tonya was brilliant to work with. She quickly understood and could see what we as a couple needed help with even when we couldn’t put our finger on what was wrong. She also succinctly put in the words exactly how I felt and gave us tools to go away and work on. She are patient and listened well and in a few sessions we already felt a lot clearer on what was going wrong and how to manage it. I would recommend Tonya to any of my friends seeking relationship therapy. Thank you Tonya and maybe see you again some time 🙂 “

“I have been working with Tonya for about three months and I can already feel the different. Prior to this, I was constantly unhappy and could not think clearly to most of the aspects of my life. With Tonya, I feel safe in sharing all my thoughts. She helped me in looking at my concerns from different perspective. I also appreciate that Tonya was very supportive/flexible in adjusting her timeline and in responding to my query in timely manner. I feel that I can always count on her when I need to”
“I’ve talked to a few coaches before but they never really spoke to me in a way that Tonya did. She really helped me understand what I was thinking and made everything clear to me. I’m very great full for all the help she gave me and I feel like a better person because of her help.”

“I have been having therapy with Tonya Jordan for 3 months. She has been very supportive from the very beginning. I felt very comfortable talking to her about my sleeping and anxiety problem. Now I mostly overcome it with having the courage to try to go on my own. I would return to her if my problem resurfaced. I can only highly recommend her as she is an excellent therapist.

“Tonya has been amazing in the time we have worked with her so far. Her approach of carefully listening and relating to our concerns, and then talking through her understanding and strategies of how we can deal with the issues, has worked tremendously well. We came to counseling with a specific question and issue we were trying to work through – not only did Tonya help us understand the issue and ourselves better and therefore reach a great resolution, she has also helped us with so many other topics that have come up since then. Her warm, friendly and completely non-judgemental approach meant that we trusted her from the beginning and her knowledge of successful mechanisms to help resolve these issues has been invaluable. We have both learned so much about ourselves from working with Tonya, and our relationship is stronger as a result”
“Tonya is the best therapist I have ever worked with. She is kind and supportive and validates your feelings while simultaneously asking hard questions and providing sound advice. I have struggled with anxiety my entire life, and Tonya helped me to overcome obstacles I never thought possible. She taught me to practice self love, and that has truly changed my life. I would highly recommend working with Tonya. She can really make a difference.”
“I am very grateful for Tonya’s consistent support and her kindness. She has helped me learn to believe in my own abilities and feel less anxious about achieving my goals. For most of my life I have felt like I don’t matter, but Tonya has helped me overcome this belief and she is always patient and compassionate throughout the process. I would recommend her to anyone who is struggling with their self esteem.”
