Getting to know Tela Thornton

Navigating life can be difficult at times, and I would like to support you and your child in facing these challenges. Your child may be struggling with trauma or other life stressors that have left your family feeling helpless and out of options. I specialize in helping children, teens, and families cope with difficult situations, offering support and guidance in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I take an individualized, strengths-based approach to therapy, identifying your child's strengths to help them grow and flourish. I hold a Master's in Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide compassionate and effective care.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe in empowering my clients to explore their strengths and resilience while addressing areas of concern. My goal is to help children, teens, and families not only overcome immediate challenges but also to foster long-term emotional well-being and personal growth.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I work collaboratively with clients on anxiety disorders, depression, behavioral issues, trauma, and personal growth. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and humanistic principles tailored to meet the needs of each client.
