Tona Bonilla

How would you describe your approach to care?

My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused techniques, and collaborative care. I work alongside you to identify unhelpful patterns, build practical coping skills, and set meaningful, achievable goals. Sessions are tailored to your needs, emphasizing your strengths, self-awareness, and empowerment. Through empathy, engagement, and evidence-based interventions, I support you in developing insight, resilience, and lasting change while honoring your pace and personal values.

What should be expected in the first session?

In the first session, you can expect a welcoming, supportive environment focused on building trust and rapport from the very start. We will review important documents and confidentiality to ensure clarity and comfort, while allowing space for questions. Together, we will begin exploring your therapy goals in a collaborative, client-centered way, identifying what feels most important and meaningful. This initial session sets the foundation for a safe, respectful partnership where you feel empowered, heard, and supported.
