Getting to know Tonya Gardner
Are you going through challenging situations, uncertain what to do or how to navigate the difficulties of life? Is this season a low point where you are facing relationship challenges, emotional struggles, or psychological distress? Are you in the valley of life? Sometimes it is in the valley where you can decide to reclaim the power of your story, and you will see the most growth and progress toward your life goals. Would you like to work together so I can help you learn how to thrive and not just survive?
My name is Tonya Gardner, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Old Dominion University. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, working with individuals through their most challenging seasons of life—“the valley”—with compassion to empower people as they grow and develop into their true authentic selves. I have experience in various clinical and mental health settings, including human services, crisis management, nonprofit, public sectors, and private practice.
Together, we can set goals to determine where you want to be emotionally, physically, and mentally as you move through and out of the valley. It is no coincidence that you are here and considering your next steps with me. You have made a decision to do something different and make a meaningful change, and I want to meet you wherever you are without judgment, with genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. Let’s get started.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe two things can be true at the same time. I will help you accept and appreciate the beauty of your strengths that helped you survive while challenging you to experience a life that matches who you would like to become. What does that look like? First it starts with creating a safe environment where you can thrive and feel comfortable being radically honest with yourself. Then, we will work together to build insight into your life story and create behavioral changes and thought process to improve your quality of life.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
