Tonya Kennard
Tonya Kennard, LPC-MHSP Licensed Professional Counselor | Jenisys Behavioral Health I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in East Tennessee with over eight years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. I earned my degree from Liberty University and have worked with individuals of all ages across various therapeutic settings. My expertise includes conducting mental health assessments, alcohol and drug assessments, and parent capacity assessments. I also specialize in anger management, alcohol and drug education, and parenting education. My work with children is guided by my exposure to play therapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), fostering healthy emotional and behavioral development. At Jenisys Behavioral Health , my private practice, I strive to create a supportive and goal-oriented space for clients. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but I remain flexible, intuitive, and responsive to each client’s individual needs. I adapt my methods based on how clients are feeling and reacting during sessions, ensuring a tailored and collaborative therapeutic experience. Clients can expect a safe, nonjudgmental environment where we work together to navigate challenges and build resilience. I accept cash and credit payments and am committed to meeting clients where they are in their journey. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to work with you. I realize not all clients are the same. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, with a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I'm flexible and adaptive, tailoring the session to each client’s unique needs and how they respond in the moment. I rely on my instincts to gauge the best course of action during sessions, adjusting techniques as needed to ensure that the client feels supported and heard. My approach is grounded in a deep responsiveness to my clients, fostering a therapeutic environment that encourages trust and collaboration. Clients can expect to gain a deeper understanding of their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, a gained insight into how past experiences affect the present, a safe, nonjudgemental space to feel heard and understood, tools to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and strategies for mindfulness, grounding, or emotion regulation.
