Bio
Tena Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor who founded Sunridge Counseling in 2022 after providing therapy since 2016. She specializes in Borderline Personality Disorder and neurodivergent clients — particularly those navigating life with Autism and ADHD — and works with teens (16+) and adults dealing with complex trauma, anxiety, and deeply ingrained emotional patterns.
Tena's approach is rooted in compassion for the survival strategies people develop early in life. Rather than pathologizing these patterns, she helps clients understand where they came from and find more flexible, sustainable ways of moving through the world — at a pace that feels manageable and safe.
"Understanding where your patterns came from is the first step toward no longer being defined by them."
Tena is EMDR trained and working toward full certification, holds Level 1 training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and is completing Level 1 IFS. These modalities allow her to work with trauma stored in the body, parts-based internal systems, and the deeply relational wounds common in BPD and neurodivergent presentations.
She offers telehealth sessions across 14 states and is locally networked in the Phoenix area. While her availability is currently limited, she welcomes inquiries and can find room for a good-fit referral.
