Tonya Miles, PsyD, has wanted to be a psychologist since third grade—right after discovering how powerful it can be to sit with someone who helps you make sense of overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Ten years of school, one dissertation, and a lot of student loans later, she made that dream a reality.
Today, Tonya is a licensed psychologist known for creating spaces where people feel safe enough to be real, messy, and human. Her approach is warm, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that vulnerability deserves to be met with compassion, not judgment.
She understands how hard it can be to open up, and she works to earn trust quickly while showing up authentically—whether that means laughter in the middle of hard moments or briefly pausing when a bird flies into her window mid-session.
Tonya believes that healing happens in connection, and that no one should have to figure things out alone.
