Online treatment for ADHD, Autism, Borderline Personality Disorder, and CPTSD
Licensed to provide telehealth services in 19 states
Trauma and CPTSD can affect how you see yourself, relate to others, and move through the world. You may notice patterns like emotional reactivity, shutdown, difficulty with trust or closeness, feeling constantly on edge, or being pulled back into past experiences even when you logically know you are safe.
Complex trauma often develops over time through experiences such as emotional neglect, attachment wounds, relational trauma, bullying, or growing up in unpredictable environments. In therapy, we focus on calming the nervous system, processing trauma, and addressing the patterns that keep you stuck, using approaches like EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts work at a pace that feels manageable.
Trauma therapy is not about reliving the past or pushing yourself faster than you're ready for. We work carefully and collaboratively, with attention to safety, pacing, and choice, so the process feels contained rather than overwhelming. Over time, this can reduce emotional intensity, increase stability, and support more ease in relationships and daily life.
Neurodivergence can show up as difficulty with focus, overwhelm, sensory sensitivity, burnout, or feeling exhausted by expectations that don't match how your brain works. Many autistic and ADHD adults, especially women and those diagnosed later in life, have spent years masking, being misunderstood, or being told to “try harder,” which can lead to shame, self-criticism, and chronic stress.
Therapy focuses on understanding how your brain and nervous system work, unlearning rigid expectations, and reducing the impact of masking and burnout. Treatment is individualized and may include support with emotional regulation, executive functioning, self-compassion, and building strategies that actually fit your life rather than forcing yourself into systems that don't.
If you already know, or are exploring whether you might be neurodivergent, this process isn't about fitting into a label. It's about gaining clarity, understanding long-standing patterns, and learning how to support yourself in ways that feel sustainable and authentic. works.
Borderline Personality Disorder can involve emotional intensity, rapid shifts in mood, and difficulty feeling steady in relationships or day-to-day life. You may notice strong reactions to situations or interactions, a fear of abandonment, or feeling unsure of who you are beneath the emotions. These patterns can be exhausting and hard to manage, especially when others don't fully understand what you're experiencing.
BPD does not look the same for everyone, and many people don't fit the stereotypes often associated with the diagnosis. Past trauma, attachment wounds, and chronic invalidation often play a role, and many people with BPD have been misunderstood or misdiagnosed along the way.
In therapy, we work collaboratively to build emotional regulation skills, strengthen relationships, and understand the patterns that developed to help you cope. Treatment is structured and paced intentionally, combining skills-based support with deeper work when appropriate. Over time, this can support greater stability, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.
Anxiety can show up as constant mental noise, physical tension, avoidance, or a sense of always being on edge, even when there's no clear threat. For some people it stays in the background, while for others it comes in waves of panic that feel overwhelming and hard to control. Over time, anxiety can begin to shape daily choices, relationships, and how safe you feel in your own body.
While anxiety is a common human experience, it can become problematic when it starts limiting your life or keeping you stuck in survival mode. Past stress, trauma, and nervous system sensitivity often play a role, especially when anxiety has been present for a long time or feels difficult to explain.
In therapy, we focus on improving regulation, reducing reactivity, and changing how you relate to anxious thoughts and sensations. Treatment may include practical skills for managing anxiety and panic, along with deeper work to address the patterns that keep anxiety going. The goal is not to eliminate anxiety entirely, but to help you feel more grounded, flexible, and in control over time.
EMDR helps process trauma and overwhelming experiences that remain stuck in the nervous system. When events are too much to fully integrate at the time they occur, they can continue to show up as reactivity, distress, or feeling on edge.
In EMDR, we use bilateral stimulation and somatic awareness to help the brain reprocess these experiences so they feel less charged and easier to respond to over time.
DBT focuses on building skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and more stable relationships. It's especially helpful for people who experience intense emotions, rapid mood shifts, or difficulty managing stress.
DBT skills are often integrated alongside other approaches to support both day-to-day stability and deeper therapeutic work.
IFS helps you understand the different parts of yourself that carry emotions, beliefs, and past experiences. Some parts may be protective, while others may hold pain or shame.
In therapy, we work with these parts in a way that reduces internal conflict and supports greater emotional balance and self-understanding.
Somatic therapy focuses on how the body responds to stress, trauma, and sensory experiences. Using Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, we pay attention to body sensations and nervous system responses, not just thoughts or emotions.
This approach can be especially helpful for complex trauma and neurodivergent individuals, particularly when experiences are difficult to put into words or involve feeling disconnected from the body.
I'm Tena, a licensed counselor providing telehealth therapy to clients in Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Wyoming. I founded Sunridge Counseling in 2022 and have been providing therapy since 2016.
I work with teens ages 16+ and adults navigating ADHD, Autism, trauma, and Borderline Personality Disorder. Many of the clients I work with experience emotions deeply, feel misunderstood, or find themselves stuck in patterns that insight alone hasn't shifted.
It can be hard to keep moving forward, especially when symptoms show up often or feel unpredictable. In our work together, we focus on understanding where these patterns came from, loosening the beliefs you may have picked up along the way, and offering care to the parts of you that learned to survive early on. We'll move at a pace that feels manageable, with room for curiosity, reflection, and growth.
What if you could not only manage your symptoms, but experience much less of them over time? Imagine understanding yourself more clearly, feeling more secure in your relationships, and building a life that feels grounded and meaningful. When you're ready, you're welcome to reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
Therapy is a space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with support and without judgment. I'll ask questions, offer feedback, and guide you through reflection and skill-building. You'll learn tools to help you respond differently to challenges, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change. Together, we'll look at what's getting in the way, work through patterns that no longer serve you, and help you move toward the life you want.
Sunridge Counseling helps individuals experiencing symptoms related to ADHD, Autism, Trauma, BPD, Anxiety, and general life stressors.

The No Surprises Act Legislation (2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act) became effective 1/1/2022. This Legislation requires health care providers to provide a Good Faith Estimate for Services, specifically for private pay clients who are not using insurance, have opted out of using insurance, or who have insurance that the provider does not participate with.

Sunridge Counseling does not accept health insurance. However, we can provide you with a superbill. A superbill is a document that contains information your insurance company needs to reimburse you for services directly. The information includes the name of your therapist, our office address, national provider ID number (NPI), business tax ID number, mental health diagnosis, dates of service, procedure codes, and the cost paid. Sunridge Counseling does not interact with or guarantee reimbursement from your insurance provider.
There can be many benefits to not using health insurance:
You are in control of your care, including choosing your therapist, length of treatment, etc.
Increased privacy and confidentiality (except for limits of confidentiality).
Not having a mental health disorder diagnosis on your medical record. (If you use a superbill, you must have a diagnosis)
Consulting with me on non-psychiatric issues that are important to you that aren't billable by insurance, such as learning how to cope with life changes, gaining more effective communication techniques for your relationships, increasing personal insight, and developing healthy new skills.
After reading my position on why I don't accept health insurance, you still may decide to use your health insurance. If you provide me with a list of therapists on your insurance provider list, I will do my best to recommend a therapist for you.
