More about me

Licensing: LMHC Years in Practice: 10 State: Florida

I believe that each one of us has the answers to our problems inside of us. However, sometimes we need someone on our journey to help us unlock those answers by asking the right questions---things you may not have considered, presenting proven strategies, and psychoeducation. Although you will make strides with the energy and effort you give, the number one predictor that one will improve is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I hope to provide a place of warmth, compassion, and acceptance in which you feel empowered and free to approach any concerns. I am here to help you along on your journey.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Arizona, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Utah. I graduated from Florida Atlantic University with an Educational Specialist degree in Mental Health Counseling. I also earned a Master's of Art from Roosevelt University. I have experience working with youth and their families as well as adults. The theoretical framework that I usually draw from is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I also apply Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing Techniques as needed. I address trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, interpersonal skills, self-esteem, anger, problem-solving, and decision-making. I also have experience with parent management training and substance abuse. In conjunction with therapy, I believe that exercise, proper nutrition, and good sleep hygiene are an integral part of overcoming mental health concerns.

Change, even positive change can be challenging and uncomfortable. I hope to provide the necessary support as a champion of change.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

I have liked the sessions with Chinyere. I hope to continue to get less stressed and more focused.

I greatly appreciate Chinyere's honesty and ability to hold me accountable for my actions. She has helped me a great deal.

She is very understanding, and lets me talk and a lot of times, helps me to work out my problems, and in some cases I’ve solved the problem. She is a big reason that I was able to improve my well being!

Chinyere is a good listener, is diligent about sending additional information related to our sessions, and is quick to challenge me on my assumptions. She has really helped me.

Chinyere has been such a positive complement to my life!

She is just amazing, full of resources. Changed my life around.

It feels good not to feel judged and communicate any and everything that is on my mind and Chinyere is making me more comfortable with this experience. She is very good with giving advice and inspiration no matter what I am going through in my life. I'm looking forward to having more sessions with her in the future.

Chinyere is a good therapist. She cares about her clients and is proactive in offering helpful tools to help people grow and overcome internal struggles.

Chin is very helpful, insightful, supportive, and responsive. She supported me through a very important life decision and am very appreciative.

Chinyere, even though I have only had 3 sessions has been amazing. She listened to everything I had to say and broke every emotion down one step at a time. She also has sent me material that is relevant to me and my process. It’s crazy to think how just a short period of time with someone could make such a big impact. Thank you

Amazing. She uses her ability to really listen and get the roots of my issues and how to have the best coping mechanisms as well as practices of improving myself everyday. I am blessed to have her as my therapist and I will continue to pay and support the better help platform because of Chinyere.

Chinyere is a gifted professional who specializes in trauma therapy. She has helped me conquer my anxiety by supplying me with holistic, sustainable tools that I can use when faced with negative thoughts. She has encouraged me to challenge old beliefs, look at situations from different perspectives, and study beneficial techniques from experts in the field. Thanks to Chinyere, I know what self love is and feel as though I have come out a stronger, healthier person.

Chinyere is always available when I response, and gives me advice.

She's great.

Chinyere is excellent and always keeps appointments. She provides valuable resources and is extremely down to earth.

Chinyere is great with exploring problems with me and helping me realize problem areas and solutions on my own but offering support when I don’t. She is very responsive, always on time for sessions, and the regular tips she sends out about various topics are great and my favorite feature of working with her. Highly recommend!

Great therapist. She genuinely cares about you and what you’re going through and always gives you great advice. I can honestly say she’s the one therapist I can always go back to and always learn something from. Thank you.

Just amazing and helped me so much through navigating through life's challenges with a fresh perspective. Thank you Chinyere for all that you do!

Chin is great. She never gives up on me. Even when I kind of give up on myself

Working with Chinyere has been a really positive experience. I have reached levels of healing I haven't reached with prior therapists. I would definitely recommend her!

Chinyere responds to me quickly, and provides me with tools and home work.

I really like the time I have sent with Ms tunsill so far. She is literally the best

Very good

I worked w Chinyere for about two years or so. I was extremely resistant for a long time but in the last year some of the messages and tools for a better life really sunk in. While I am far from all the way back in the swing I have a path forward and things are starting to feel more normal and more like real me and happier me from before an onslaught of crappy life events. Am very thankful for Chinyere's help.

I have had a few sessions with Chinyere, I appreciate her dedication to her clients. I feel like I have come leaps and bounds in the short time I have been speaking with her. She is easy to talk to, friendly and very resourceful! Would happily recommend her to anyone.

shes so calm and understanding. allowing you space and time to build trust with her. she understands and respects your boundaries, very professional but at the same time able to understand and address personal issue i shared without giving away too much advices but more so offers reliable sources from credible authors / references to deliver her advices, messages. Thanks Chin!

Chinyere (Chin as she was introduced to me) is the best therapist I have found in my adult life. I have been seeing her for almost a year and it feels like I’m having a weekly chat with a friend about things and she has the greatest methods to guide myself through the process. I am someone with a complex traumatic childhood and have a lot of present life unavoidable daily stressors. Chin has helped me develop skills I wasn’t privileged with developing as a child as an adult functioning in real time life. She has been extremely patient with me finding the words and strength to vocalize a lot of my past and I never knew just saying it out loud to someone can help. Having her as my therapist has helped me feel heard. My family is mixed and diverse and packed full of generational trauma and abuse. She has helped me to navigate and understand the effects of their unhealed pasts and the importance of working on myself. I am very grateful for finding her last year. Thank you for hiring the best ❤️

she’s really nice and listens to people and actually tries to understand them and isn’t afraid to go deep into their feelings

Chin is helpful and understanding, she always asks clarifying questions and offers practical advice. I feel heard and supporting working with her, and optimistic that my goals are achievable. She also recommends good resources with which to learn on my own, in between sessions.

I have worked with Chinyere Tunsil for quite awhile now and I am 64 and worked w several other therapists on here and out there. She is very very good and makes you feel heard and cared for. She really cares about the people she works with. It is just a fact. She also taught me a lot about being honest with oneself and with others and also admitting aspects that need work or mistakes and about forgiveness. I feel like it is an evolving therapist/client relatuonship and learning to get along with and face life alone and with others are my two big challenges alongside bipolar and health issues so I still have more work to do with her. I highly recommend Chin!!

Before being matched with Chinyere, I felt that therapy wasn't for me. Chinyere changed that. She is proactive- going out of her way to deliver truly helpful information and tips. She is relatable- always sharing content that is easy to understand and apply. She is flexible and accommodating. I have learned so much from Chinyere, and I'm grateful for the positive impact she has had.

What I like most about Chinyere is that she is open, reliable, humble, engaged, listens, and sincerely wants to be helpful.

Working with Ms. T was absolutely amazing, I was able to get farther in my healing in just a few weeks than I was in months with another therapist. The only reason I left was because I moved out of state! I stayed with her for almost 6 months and was able to learn a lot about myself. She's very no nonsense without being mean about it, just gives you the gentle truth without frills. Highly recommend!

I’m still new at therapy and wasn’t very confident before however now I am. Ms Tunsill is very helpful and so kind. I never feel judge ever and feel listen to. But it’s not only that but the techniques she recommended have really help my issues and have made me more aware of how to deal with them. Honestly, I’m loving Ms Tunsill and I’m very happy I took that step to growing a better me and she is part of that journey.

In the beginning, I wasn't talkative. What I like about Ms. Tunsill is that she didn't push anything. She picked up on the little things I said, and got me to open up. I highly would refer Ms. Tunsil. She has been a great help!

Chinyere is an amazing therapist. This is my first time speaking with a therapist and she’s made the process so easy. I look forward to our sessions because she’s so insightful. I feel as though she cares about my feelings and helps me to sort them. She’s great!

Amazing counselor, she is helping me chart my path forward

Chinyere is very kind and easy to talk to. She is compassionate. And she clearly understands the challenges and provides very good resources and direction to help get to the bottom of the problem. She gives 100% of herself.

Chinyere, is AMAZING!

Great counselor who will give you practical tools to cope in your daily life!

Chin is wonderful. She is particularly good for me because she doesn’t mince words. I need that and appreciate that.

Chin has shared with me tools I find very effective in responding and mitigating my depression. So grateful for her expert guidance!

Ms. Tusill is very helpful. At first I wasn't trusting the process, and was very resistent to the help. She has been very patient in letting me open up, and had gotten me to face my issues. Now, I can't stop talking. I may run over. But, I highly recommend her. She has been such a great help to me!!!

She is very knowledgeable for any subject i bring up and provides awesome tools for you to work on. Would definitely recommend to anybody that needs help :)

Chinyere “Chin” Tunsill is a wonderful therapist. She is thought provoking and patient. A really really great listener. I never feel judged or awkward. I have laughed and I have cried in sessions. I am not new to therapy and have been a lifer pretty much, but Chin has a calming pace to her and keeps up with my erratic brain. I feel like she is the Target of therapists. I went in for 1 thing but found way more than I anticipated, but went ahead and got it cuz I was already there, lol. I feel better after each session. Thank you for this service!

My sessions with Chinyere feel like I'm talking to a friend, and she provides me with great tools, offers new ways of thinking, and holds me accountable for my actions and decisions. She guides our conversations effortlessly to ensure I am getting the most out of my session, and our conversations are always insightful and interesting to me. Not only do I feel seen and heard working with Chin, but I feel like I learn a lot from her as well and always leave with a smile on my face, even if it's been an emotional session.

Great listener and very understanding in our situation.

She is so down to earth and real. She really brings out the best in me.

She’s amazing! Really understands personality disorders and trauma. She is all about shifting the mind in a positive view. Thank you!

Ms Tunsill was my third therapist & I really enjoyed her. She provided me w/ great tools & resources. A great joy to work with!

Chin never fails to ground me and uplift me after a session. I'm a lot healthier because of her.

She is a godsend.

Chinyere has been such a great guide and a person that is ready to listen to anything that you have to say. She has offered great advice and helpful techniques to cope with different things such as low-self esteem and confidence. I would highly recommend Chinyere as she has helped me realize my worth and work through negative thoughts that I no longer entertain!

We have been working together for a few months. I see and feel the improvement in some of my concerns that I am getting better and my peace is being restored. I appreciate Chinyere actively listening, re directing me when I lose focus and gives me the requested homework to reinforce our session. She is wonderful asset and I would recommend her to others who are seeking counseling!

I would like to thank Dr. Tunsill from the bottom of my heart for her services because she has helped me improve my mental health. She was able not only relate to my problems, but also guide me through the obstacles with exercises and research. There was not a time where I felt that I was not being heard, she listened. I am forever grateful and will definitely be back!

Chinyere has been great with helping me through some issues in my life. She tells it like it is and asks the hard questions to really get to the root of issues. I’ve had two session with her so far and I already feel like I can breathe again. I still have a long journey ahead of me but I’m glad I took this step. Thank you Chinyere!

I felt more help from Chinyere in one session than I had in weeks and months with other therapists. She's been very attentive and gives me multiple things to do, try, and focus on to help me start to heal.

Chin has been a life saver. Right away she was giving me applicable advice and helping me see things in a new way. I’m excited to continue learning from her. She has been a great help.

Chinyere will tell you what she sees, and it's often the thing you need to hear but haven't admitted to yourself. She shares awesome resources.

Chinyere is a wonderful counselor to help work through trauma and narcissism. I would recommend her to anyone.

Chinyere has been very reliable in getting back to me in a timely manner I felt comfortable meeting with her via Webcam chat. She has also been very helpful and accommodating to all the the topics I bring up daily.

I've never felt a heard as I do with Chinyere. She offers me realistic action items and reminds me that I'm not responsible for others actions. I'm grateful for her.
