Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Hello, and welcome. I am a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, insight, and practical support. I have over 10 years of experience working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem difficulties, and trauma.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based cognitive and behavioral therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). I help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, build healthier coping strategies, increase emotional regulation, and develop skills to create meaningful and lasting change.
I believe therapy should be a collaborative and supportive process tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. Whether you are facing a difficult life transition, struggling with emotional challenges, or simply seeking personal growth, I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered.
I look forward to working with you on your journey toward greater well-being and resilience.

03 · What happens next
Tenisha practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Tenisha's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Tenisha at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Tenisha is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Tenisha.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Provenance
Tenisha's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Tenisha. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
