Tonia L Durand

I have been a counselor for over thirty years. My background is diverse, there are few populations I have not worked with as yet. I specialize in trauma recovery, and anxiety management. Some of the clients in my past include; incarcerated teens, residential psychiatric hospital adolescents, gifted children, hospice patients, attachment disordered infants, chronic pain patients, depressed/anxious teens, transitioning adults, sexual/domestic violence survivors, persons in acute and prolonged grief stages, self harming individuals, persons who are defining their sexuality and/or gender, and adults/adolescents with ADHD. I am an unusual therapist in that I truly enjoy working myself out of a job. Helping my patients empower themselves into a more balanced state is my goal. My diverse experience allows me to design creative ways to help people find their way out of distress. I do a great deal of recovery work with my patients. Some have been harmed in conversion “therapy”, or a poor connection with their previous provider. I am an advocate for one’s locus of control being within themselves.
