Find purpose, clarity, and connection

IT’S OKAY TO BE DIFFICULT

Not mean, not rigid, not impossible, but the good kind of difficult. The kind of difficult that requires those around you to see you, enables them to have a better sense of who you are and what you need, and makes clear the intentions you have set for yourself in your life.

I’m Tonya Lester, and I’m a psychotherapist in Brooklyn, NY. I can teach you how to manage your mind and emotional life, develop mutually respectful and supportive relationships, and approach decision-making and communication with clarity and courage. When you choose challenging growth over comfortable stagnation, you can improve your life.

LET’S FIND A PATH BETWEEN THE OBSTACLES.
