Tonga T Bryant – Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC

Hi I’m Tonga, a LPC in the state of AZ. I earned my masters degree in 2007 from Southern University in Baton Rouge, LA. I have been licensed for 12 years and providing therapeutic services for over 22 years. I specialize in person centered therapy that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy. I enjoy working with individuals who are ready to make changes in the way they manage their thoughts, emotions, and actions. As someone who has experienced depression, anxiety, and unhelpful self talk I provide compassionate support and tools to help you on your journey.
I take a collaborative approach as a therapist whereby I connect with clients in a way that puts them in the drivers seat. You define your goals, while I may share items that you mention which may be helpful to address in treatment, you have the final say regarding what you want to address in treatment. I It is my belief that all the answers needed or desired are found inside of each individual. Therapy is a way of unlocking some of those answers. I enjoy teaching and practicing skills within sessions and assigning homework afterwards. If this sounds like something that resonates with you please contact me today for a free consultation.
