My name is Dr. Tonia Webster, and I have 20+ years of experience working with highly complex trauma. My approach is eclectic but driven from a holistic and cognitive behavioral model. In my practice, I look at the whole person and not simply the trauma or crisis in which has steered you in my direction.

As we ebb and flow through life, we connect, disconnect and reconnect over and over again. Our connections to our mind, our body, the people around us, our society and the world are in a fluid state of change. Some internal and external changes may be overwhelming and heavy like a crashing wave. Adjusting to everchanging connections can be difficult at times. As a result, we may start to disconnect and retreat as ways to cope and slowly float away.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist my speciality is working with African American and minority women, teen girls, couples and blended families.

My work as a therapist is finding the treasure that I know is inside of you. I realize that your “gem” is often there, but covered up by years of bad habits, unfortunate events, or mental health issues beyond your control.

I may challenge you, but do so with compassion and understanding that life is a journey with bumps in the road for all of us.

A few daytime openings are available! It's so hard on our bodies and minds to be pregnant, give birth or endure loss yet we're expected to carry on with our lives like usual. People that haven't experienced the physical complications and distressing symptoms can't relate. Talking about our "stuff" is uncomfortable because we often feel shame or guilt as we think we should be grateful or we're not feeling good enough. Pregnancy and postpartum is unlike any other journey; sharing our bodies with another human is hard, being a new mom is hard, loss/change is hard! Remember, you are not alone and with help you can be well.

**I currently only can accept private pay (no insurances) and I only offer tele-therapy sessions (not in-person).** It can be difficult to find a good fit with a therapist. But this is most important, since our therapeutic relationship is key to creating the best environment in which you can explore issues and achieve your goals, whatever they may be. I enjoy a relaxed style, and facilitate a warm and safe environment for you to express yourself. I enjoy working with social or generalized anxiety, shyness, self-esteem, grief, family, and relationship issues.
