Tonya Elmore

PLPC

Tonya earned her Masters of Arts in Counseling from Liberty University. As a Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor, Tonya is passionate about helping adults and adolescents navigate life's challenges with greater self-awareness, confidence, and clarity. Whether facing a major life transition, struggling with anxiety or stress, working through relationship concerns, or simply feeling stuck in the daily grind of being human, therapy can provide a space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with intention.

Tonya’s approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that every individual is uniquely created. Because no two people share the same experiences, strengths, or challenges, there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to counseling. She works with her clients to discover what works best and create a path that aligns with their individual values, goals, and authentic self.

Her goal is to provide an inclusive, welcoming, and judgment-free environment where clients feel safe enough to explore every part of their story.
