Tonja Christopher, PhD, MS

Tonja is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern who works with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and relationship challenges. Many of her clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to manage intense emotions. Others are working through life transitions, identity exploration, or unresolved past experiences. Tonja creates a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where clients can be themselves while also being gently challenged to grow. She combines emotional insight with practical tools, helping clients better understand their patterns, build coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. She integrates evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness- based techniques, and solution-focused therapy. Tonja believes therapy should help clients feel more confident, grounded, and empowered to navigate life with clarity and authenticity.
