About
Welcome to Phyllis Tonkin, LCSW, where we help high-functioning adults reconnect with peace, purpose, and personal power.
With over 28 years of experience, I guide clients out of emotional overwhelm—into clarity and forward motion.
We know the mirror can feel painful. That most people struggle to say, “I love and accept myself.” That’s why I offer therapy designed to help you release shame, rewrite the story, and heal—for real.
What makes me different? I meet you where you are. No judgment. Just clear, compassionate guidance from someone who’s helped hundreds navigate their way back to peace.
