Chinyere Tunsill, LCPC, LMHC

Chinyere Tunsill believes that many people already carry the seeds of their own solutions and that therapy can help reveal those answers by asking insightful questions, offering proven strategies, and providing psychoeducation. She aims to create a warm, compassionate, and accepting environment where individuals feel empowered to address concerns and take meaningful steps toward change.

She holds an Educational Specialist degree in Mental Health Counseling from Florida Atlantic University and a Master of Arts from Roosevelt University. The Educational Specialist degree is a post-master's clinical counseling credential that builds advanced skills for working with clients. Chinyere is a licensed counselor in multiple states and holds the credentials LCPC and LMHC - LCPC stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, both indicating advanced training and state licensure to provide mental health services.

Clinically, she often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused approaches when appropriate. Her experience spans work with youth, families, and adult clients, addressing concerns such as trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, grief, self-esteem, anger, addictions, parenting challenges, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also has experience with parent management training and substance use issues.

In addition to therapeutic techniques, Chinyere emphasizes the role of lifestyle factors - including regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and healthy sleep habits - as complementary supports in the work of improving mental health. She recognizes that even positive change can feel difficult, and she seeks to be a supportive, encouraging partner for clients as they navigate transitions and growth.
