Getting to know Tenail Gayden

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor. I help adults and couples who are struggling with unresolved trauma, grief, and addiction learn to manage trauma symptoms and establish healthy coping strategies to preserve their legacy. I do this through trauma-focused evidence-based Psychotherapy with a person-centered and multicultural perspective. My approach I use Evidence-Based Psychotherapies (EBPs) such as various forms of CBT, CPT, PE, COPE, and Gottman Method to help you identify unresolved trauma/grief/addiction, empower you to manage your symptoms, and develop healthy coping skills. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your triggers, emotions, and behaviors. Based on your unique needs, we will develop a treatment plan that best helps you meet your goals. Your goals and progress are my primary focus. Identifying and managing trauma symptoms can be challenging, but together we will work together, so that you can preserve your legacy for the future. My focus Have you been struggling with flashbacks, nightmares, relationship problems, anxious thoughts, addiction, and self-doubt? I work with adults who have experienced trauma, grief, and those who are struggling with addiction, learn to manage trauma symptoms so that they can develop healthy coping skills to begin reengaging with life in meaningful ways. I also work with couples that have experienced trauma, infidelity, challenging life events, and addiction, to identify unhealthy patterns and cycles, and to develop healthy coping skills to improve their quality of life. Whether you’re working through trauma, grief, communication, or relationship challenges, I’ll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable.
