I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and trauma develop self-compassion and inner strength to overcome and even embrace life's challenges.
I believe that everyone deserves to live a life that makes them excited to wake up in the morning. Unfortunately, many people live imprisoned in negativity brought upon by childhood trauma, abusive relationships, or toxic work environments. One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story and take steps to create a life worth living. My goal is to provide a safe place to work through your pain to understand the patterns that have kept you feeling stuck and help you get on a path towards self-compassion, healthy relationships, and overall contentment.

However, with the proper support and guidance, overcoming these obstacles and emerging stronger than ever is possible. That’s where I come in as an Attachment and Divorce Recovery Coach. With almost 15 years of experience studying the effects of abuse, loss, and unhealthy relationships, I bring knowledge and expertise to every coaching session.

I am Tonya Schour, LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist). I have primarily worked with people who struggle with trauma (PTSD), anxiety, depression, relationship issues and domestic violence. By using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and direct communication, I have helped many clients overcome difficulties and incorporate positive changes in their lives. I believe our mental health is every bit as important as our physical health. Many, if not all, people would benefit greatly from therapy. Even if it’s just to have a neutral person to discuss everyday issues with.

I believe that the goal of "happiness" we are all striving for, is not that of elation, but inner peace. Without an understanding of this subtle difference, many of us can find ourselves on a slightly different path than we have intended. Much of my work focuses on helping my clients find acceptance in themselves in order to listen to their own voices and create a life that is fulfilling. I believe that each of my clients are the experts in their own lives. In that way, our sessions become a joint process--rather than an "expert/patient" experience.

I most enjoy working with clients who are willing to look within and accept responsibility (not blame) for their thoughts, feelings and behavior. I feel especially honored to work with clients who have had traumatic childhood experiences, including sexual abuse. Although these events can have devastating consequences, I have found that survivors of childhood trauma can also be catapulted to higher than usual levels of consciousness and well-being when the traumas are healed. In other words, therapy is a very gratifying journey to walk with a client. I work well with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, eating disorders and dissociative disorders.

I specialize in relationship issues pertaining to Infidelity; Youth (most often impacted by familial stressors) and Communication, which correlates and can manifest as obsessive thoughts, anxiety, depression and related addictions. Infidelity is a symptom of underlying issues. Trained in EMDR to identify and manage trauma, I became a therapist due to personal experience in dealing with affairs. I understand the emotional roller coaster infidelity creates. Emotional education and processing is important to understanding why you are experiencing the emotions you are dealing with.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
