I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I am trained as a Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator. I am also trained Certified Correctional Health Professional and a Certified Addiction Professional. I started my career as working with youth at risk. I also have extensive experience working with Law Enforcement, Mental Health Court, Psychiatrists, and Corrections Officers, inmates and their families. I specialize in treating individuals with Anxiety and Depression, Bipolar, Trauma/PTSD from Sexual or Physical abuse, as well as Behavior issues,emotional abuse and anger management . A majority of my career has been spent working with dual diagnosis clients, and individuals suffering from severe mental illness. I believe that early intervention can help transform children and their parents into empowered families and individuals. I utilize a mixture of the cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, strengths-based, and postmodern theoretical approaches that assist individuals in consciously deciding what to focus on and not allow unwanted or intrusive thoughts in. These modalities also help a client to envision a future and acquire the coping mechanisms and skills to achieve the goals he/she desires.

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.

Very realistic approach very understanding great overall

Tunjua Nathaniel is a compassionate and understanding therapist. An excellent listener, she provides ample methods of how to solve problems. Tunjua has infinite wisdom to share in regards to difficult, complex experiences. 10/10

Miss T. is absolutely wonderful. She extremely understanding in more ways than 1. She has an incredible soul and I see why God put her my path of getting better.

Tunjua is extremely thoughtful, non-judgmental, and patient. I appreciate every bit of her input and answers to my questions.

Tunjua was paired with me based on my issues as presented to Pride Counseling. She has been an asset to this therapy in that she relates to me as a woman, my age group and my need to be understood. Honestly I feel so lost in all this but I feel Tunjua helps me to recognize this as a session at a time knowing getting this far didn't happen overnight and neither will resolution. It's hard to stand for what we feel, especially when we wish to please others but I am hopeful for resolving my issues in a fair adult manner. I do believe she helps that process!

I absolutely adore Tunjua, she has helped me with so much and I refuse to see anyone else now because of how much she’s changed me in a good way.

Tunjua is amazing. She makes it plain for me and is very down to earth. Has God in her heart and makes my mind make sense. I normally don’t do therapy but she has made this decision one of the best decisions I’ve made. Great listener and even better insight.

She is completely insightful; full of wisdom and humor! I highly recommend!

Tunjua, in the short amount of time I’ve been seen by her, has truly helped me come to understand some deep things in my life that I have struggled with. She’s helped me begin to get healing in those areas.

This woman is phenomenal. She inspired my heart and mind while helping me deal with my emotions and fear. I am thankful and honored. If you have the opportunity to work with her, take it serious, and be patient with yourself. She will do the same.

Words aren't enough to define the magnitude and impact of someone like Tunjua Nathaniel. I would recommend her to anyone. Her approach, attentiveness, and compassion aren't matched by many. Her professionalism is one of her strong suits as well.

Tunjua is a blessing to me. She is a great match for me.

She is very insightful, nonjudgemental, and listens. She takes the time to understand what you are going through, define goals, explore emotions, and provides tips/tricks/tools to help you. I am looking forward to our next session.

In the short time i’ve been in therapy with Ms T. she’s been honest, caring and insightful. I wish I could’ve continued going to therapy, but I will take what i’ve learned from her. She is amazing!

Ms. T has truly changed my life. I’m so thankful we crossed paths. My mindset has completely evolved since I’ve been seeing her. Always look forward to seeing her!

MS. T is a professional. She's wise and understanding. Talking with her is like talking to a family member like an older aunt. She can relate and she tries her best. There's never a dull moment. I think she's the best counselor I've ever had.

Ms. T has all the nuggets you need to excel in life she has helped me tremendously look at life with a mindset set out on faith and erase my fears. I love her dearly and will keep her close for life!

Mrs. T is an amazing therapist! She listens to you and helps you overcome your issues one at a time, instead of all at once!

I absolutely adore her. She gets me and understands where I’m coming from while helping me see where others are.

Tunjua is amazing and inciteful. She is so easy to talk to and helps you to develop skills to cope effectively with your issues. I highly recommend her!

Ms. T has opened up my mind to better thinking. It took awhile to find the perfect therapist and I’m so glad I found it with her. I look forward to my sessions with Ms. T every week. This is priority. Thanks for everything Ms. T.

Amazing. Tells you like it is and is very understanding. Great listener and gives great advice.

I couldn't have been paired with a better therapist. I'm so grateful and thankful for Ms. T. She gives me the hard truth with love and guidance, she's also a great listener. I trust her and will continue my sessions for as long as I can. Because of her, I'm heading into my best life for ME not for anybody else but me, but in doing so I must stop making the same mistakes and learn from them. It's a process but I'm glad she's got me here. Thank you Ms. T!!!!!

She is the best ever. She is down to Earth and she can relate to a lot of things. I value her perspective.

Tunjua is very respectful and she tells me everything I need to know to work with her to make my life better. I love her and you'll be happy to choose her!

Very kind and insightful person.

Ms. Nathaniel provides strength and helps me to apply her words to my every day life. Thank you.

I was very skeptical and stressed about talking to someone over the phone and not in person. Ms. Tunjua within 10 minutes had me pegged. She is very intuitive and she gave some wonderful tools to help me manage my issues. I finally feel like I can breath. I thought I could manage on my own but now I feel like I can kill it in life! With her I’ll be unstoppable and I won’t be my worst enemy!

She is absolutely amazing. I can’t put into words, the energy and the compassion she brings is wonderful. She creates a safe space without judgment and with compassion. What else could we ask for?

Finally after years found a therapist that works for me

Miss T has been a large part of my healing process. Very supportive. Our session always allow me to walk away with a new understanding.

Ms. T reminds me of a family member. She reinforces my faith with what we discuss, and offers a different perspective. I appreciate her. I wish she was local.

Tunjua is great. She makes me feel comfortable talking about anything i need to talk about. She has been a blessing during a difficult time.

She is the very best!

Such a lovely lady. So helpful and pointed me to my faith.

She is the absolute truth and can relate to what I’m going through. I’d recommend her to anyone I know and love.

I appreciate her candor and sense of humor. I experience insights every time we meet and when I work on assignments between sessions.

Ms. T is wonderful! I love her unique perspective! She really makes you think.

After such a short period of time, Tunjua, has helped me a lot. I am working on thinking of things objectively, intentionally and without the cloudiness of emotion. Lots of focus on my mental health journey. I am so appreciative.

She’s the best!

Tunjua has been a huge support to me over the last year. Her background provides a unique perspective into helping me keep myself in check in terms of how I feel versus how reality plays out. She's helped me step into a space of manifesting and maintaining a healthier and more positive outlook on what's going on in my life. And I'm grateful to have had her support over this last year!

Tunjua made me feel comfortable to open up and very relatable as I was telling her about my situation. She helped me craft an actionable plan to navigate my current situation and see if there’s improvement. I want to continue working with her to see how this path leads me to healing

Tunja is awesome. I would highly recommend her. When I was entering selection criteria for my therapist I checked all of the boxes and I have to tell you I was extremely fortunate to receive Tunja. Her background and training is amazing and it actually translates into her body of work. I haven't just spoken with her during my sessions and thought oh yeah she's right about this or she's right about that, but things that she has said during the sessions or comments that she has made stayed with me throughout the week and allowed me to reflect on different situations I was in at the time so that I could better handle those situations.

She’s very wise and fully understands. I’ve had a great experience with her. The perspective offered and the philosophy of life is always appreciated and easy to understand. I look forward to our calls and I often take notes to look back on.

Honestly, this has been the best experience I've had with a therapist. I love Tunjua's approach and her ability to take the things that I consider catastrophic and give me actionable steps and tools to overcome them. Looking forward to continued sessions.

I’ve had a couple of sessions so far with Tunjua and she’s amazing. I feel like she honestly listens and offers an unbiased opinion which it’ll what I’ve been looking for. She also offers really good advice on what I should do or where I should put my focus on.

T has been an amazing sounding board for me. She definitely gets to the root of what needs to be done, but she also just lets me ramble and talk through what’s going on. She’s got a solid balance down and it shows. I am excited to continue with her!!

My time with Tunjua was really wonderful and very enlightening. She taught me a lot about mindfulness, valuing myself and putting myself first, and fostering forgiveness and acceptance. Our sessions helped me gain clarity on a lot of issues happening in my life - from childhood trauma and family struggles, to relationships and friendships and work problems - and her reassurance and validation helped me develop confidence and pride in my growth. Sitting down and talking to a wise and caring mental health professional has definitely impacted my life, and I am very grateful for having Tunjua as a therapist. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in therapy!

Straight forward communicator and also easy to talk to.

I have only had one session with her so far, but she was lovely. I’m looking forward to working with her more.

Miss Tunjua is great. I honestly love her. She's wonderful and feel great after my sessions.

she really vets to know you as a person and helps in ways no one ever did or thought of. she doesn’t judge and does not hesitate to get you back on track and help you correct it

I find her easy to speak to but have had only a few sessions and hope I am able to move on from previous behaviors limiting my potential.

I have had many counselors in my lifetime, and Ms. T has been the greatest one of all. She not only listens to what I say, but she says exactly what I need to hear, no matter how difficult it may be. Her empathy and expertise has made a significant impact in my life for the better and I wouldn't be where I am today without her.

Absolutely amazing! 10/10 recommend. Out of everyone ive talked to, she has been the only one who’s gotten through to me truly. She’s very attentive, and straightforward, and doesn’t sugar coat the truth for you. She tells you what you need to hear, and makes you take a long reflective look at yourself, to find what’s truly causing problems. Definitely something I was looking for in a therapist. 10/10 recommend.

Excellent counseling

Mrs.T has been very supportive and honest with me in my journey of self love & personal growth. I felt comfortable with her since day 1 and very excited to continue working with her.

Incredible therapist! It is my first time being consistent after years of going once and not being ready to face myself. She has helped me begin to cultivate a different outlook and perspective on a multitude of things and we are just getting started! Her way of separating facts from feelings and finding the root cause of behavior is probably my favorite thing I’ve learned and I have implemented it in my every day life. Can’t wait for my next session!

She’s the Best!! Direct, to the point and helps with teaching the tools to put your wants and needs first. Glad she’s on this journey with me!

T has helped me understand and deal with my feelings. Love her!!!

I am a queer, immigrant, woman of color, and I feel really grateful that I found Tunjua. She just gets it! She keeps it real, and she's really open. I don't feel like I have to code switch my language in our sessions. She's easygoing, sharp, and doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to her advice. Ms T is responsive on chat as well, and she sends me practical tools to have on hand for my anxiety.

Thank you so much for believing in me and getting me through this tough time.

Tunjua is very personable and great at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone!!

Tunjua seems very warm, spiritual, and affirmative. She's a great listener AND provides great advice. Also she sends the most uplifting messages. I want to recommend her to everyone.

She’s down to earth, professional, and approachable. She knows her field and cares about those she helps.

Tunjua is such a good therapist! She is very in tune with herself and so she is very in tune with me and my needs. I feel heard and supported every session.

She is the best counselor anyone could ask for. She is very helpful and gives great advice. She is also a great listener and puts things into perspective. She’s awesome!

Tunjua is real. In a difficult time, she is a genuine person with truly insightful words and impactful experience to share.

Very accepting and caters the client’s individual needs with no hesitation! Would highly recommend her to anyone!

Dr. Tunjua Nathaniel (Ms T) has been a valuable resource in my healing journey. She shoots straight from the hip and is no-nonsense when it comes to helping you become a better version of who you are meant to be. She CARES about your healing. She is principled in her methods while being positive and hopeful about my journey. I would highly recommend her (I already have!) She gives a beautiful balance of clinical experience, principled wisdom and patient listening.

She is really good!

I’ve just started BetterHelp and only have had one counseling session with Ms. Tunjua Nathaniel and I must say the first impressions is a lasting impression. She is a awesome listener and has great feedback. I was nervous about my first session, but she made it very comfortable for me and easy to open up. The best counselor I’ve ever talked too.

If you've avoided therapy like I have for years, I promise you one session with Tunjua will change that. Thorough and straight to the point with a warm demeanor, she's everything I didn't know I needed in a therapist!

She’s awesome!

Dr. Tunjua has been a great therapist in my time of need. She is very straight to the point and does not sugar coat. She is also very personable and makes me feel comfortable at the same time. I am grateful to have her as my therapist.

I love her attitude! She gets straight to the point and doesn’t sugar coat things. I like therapists that help me work on myself rather than just empathize and allow me to stay stagnant. If you want some real results, she’s your girl.

I look forward to my counseling sessions with Ms. T. She shares insights and introduces thoughts for me to consider that support my growth .i appreciate her perspective and direct way of communicating.

Very down to earth and supportive

Tunjua was kind and thoughtful with her approach.

She is amazing! She gets straight to the point. She is very good about flipping around what you are projecting. And she is 100% honest at all times. people should definitely recommend working with her if possible she's helped me in so many ways. I don't think anyone could ever have anything bad to say about her she's so caring and logical. She's exactly what my ideal therapist would be.

Mrs. T brings great insight into how we approach our emotions, and she discusses relatable concepts, while also sharing her personal and professional experiences to help understand these concepts. I am extremely grateful for the time I have been able to spend sharing thoughts with Mrs. T.

Dr. Tanjua is personable, relatable, funny, tells it like it is. She is able to give examples that connect in my mind and help unlock further pathways and realizations. I don't value myself, because I don't think I'm important. I feel like a failure (especially compared to gross expectations of myself when I don't even try) and I feel stagnant and stuck and unworthy because I have stopped growing. I'm no longer challenging myself to learn new things that are important to me and make me happy. I've begun my healing journey and I'm ready to open all the boxes of emotions I've been avoiding.

Going into this, I was afraid this wouldn’t be personal because it isn’t face to face. Ms. T made me be comfortable IMMEDIATELY! She is real and she is inviting. I connect with her and I look forward to our conversations each time.

I am so happy I got to know Ms. Tunjua! She has played a positive role as my therapist. I feel as if I can achieve my goals that I have set out with her guidance! Thank you so much for everything you do!

She’s awesome

Ms.T has helped me so much in a short time we’ve been working together. I look forward to our sessions and I feel I gain a lot from each session. She is wonderful at what she does! I’m so grateful to have met her.

Ms Tunjua helped me a lot to view my past traumas in a different point of view, and she gave me really great advice that has helped me better myself. Always a good time talking to her :)

Ms. T is a saint. Honestly, I was in a really dark spot when I had my video message with her. I felt hopeless, and truly felt like nothing could help me. We had our session and she was receptive, professional, and kind. I knew immediately that she was someone I could feel comfortable sharing my troubles with. We had a session exactly 29 days ago, and I feel like a different person. I feel a vigor for life I haven’t felt in a while. I don’t know what the future holds in store for me. However, I do know I have Ms. T to thank for helping me when I felt like no one could, to help me heal myself for myself.

“T” is a breath of fresh air. Very real and authentic person with a lot of wisdom. She’s a woman of Christ and I very much appreciate her guidance in my time of need. Thank you “T” :) God Bless.

great supporter of my needs and my issues

She's a beast for real. I love her so much!

T has been a saving grace in my life since the first day we met. I couldn’t be more happy I found a therapist in her!

Tunjua is a gift from God to me. I prayed for someone who would listen to me, take my upset and teach me strategies on how to lead a hapoy, healthy life after trauma. She is extremely knowledgeable and I'm blessed to work with her.

Ms T provides open and honest guidance as together we walk through areas of my life that need refinement. Just as you would rearrange the furniture in your home for a "fresh look and new feel" the same holds true for us as individuals, sometimes you simply need to rearrange the old thoughts and practices and and open the door to new perspectives.

Ms. Nathaniel has been very professional and attentive in following up with during the week. The counseling sessions are open, relaxing and informative . I would highly recommend ms. Nathaniel to other people in need of this counseling.

Miss T is really caring. I believe she truly listens to me and hears my concerns. I also like that she’s real with me, genuine and caring

I really enjoy my sessions with Tunjua Nathaniel. She has helped me to view things differently and gave me some techniques to use in moments when I feel unbalanced. I appreciate her calming voice and suggestions, Thank you!
