I graduated with a MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I am licensed in NY State as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I am licensed in SC as Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC). My professional life has included working in a community Mental Health clinic with people of all ages and backgrounds. In this role I have encountered a variety of life stages and situations, such as depression, anxiety, stress and trauma related issues, career exploration, caregiver fatigue, developmental disabilities, anger management, self-esteem issues, and substance use issues. I use concepts from Cognitive Behavior therapy, in which we will look at the interplay between thoughts, feelings and actions and how unhelpful thoughts can pull us down emotionally and drive our behaviors in unhealthy ways. In knowing these things, we can adjust unhelpful thoughts and develop actions plans that will help you move forward on your goals. I also use a person-centered /positive psychological approach. I am here to listen with compassion and empathy and I strive to provide a warm, open space - free of judgement. I am available through messages which I will check daily, along with live chat, video sessions or phone sessions. My calendar is available for you to schedule appointments with me. My schedule may not accurately reflect all available sessions, so please message me if you need something other than what's available. I look forward to working with you!

About Me Hi, I am glad you have chosen to begin counseling and explore issues which concern you. Making the decision to seek therapy is a significant step in self-care. As a licensed clinical psychologist, with over 15 years of experience working with adults, I have successfully helped many people along their journey of self-exploration. My approach is eclectic and individualized, based on each person’s needs and readiness for change. I am trained in psychodynamic theory and have expertise in examining how we can improve our interpersonal relationships with others. I utilize insight-oriented approaches, mindfulness and CBT techniques to foster change in those who are seeking therapy. I also help patients realistically identify their strengths and their uniqueness in order to meet their personal goals. I believe therapy gives us the opportunity to take pause in our life journey, reflect and find opportunities to practice living our best life. I look forward to being part of this exploration you have chosen to pursue. With gratitude, Dr. Tori A. Bronaugh, Ph.D.

I have been a practicing Social Worker for the last 40 years. I have worked in both private practice and Community Mental Health. I recognize that by the time someone seeks counseling they have tried other alternatives and are truly looking for answers, help, and/or direction that they have not been able to get. Therapy/counseling is an important decision and the work should be a positive experience (although it is work) that helps us get to a higher level in our lives. I have worked with CISM debriefing for first responders, been trained in hypnotherapy, Accelerated Resolution of Trauma, Solution Focused and both short and longer term modalities. I am available to offer my experience and training, to work together to help find answers, resolution and new ways of being in life.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I am empathic, curious, and have a genuine concern for my work as a psychotherapist working with people. I serve young and older adults who are struggling with past and current obstacles such as anxiety, grief, and bereavement. The modality is Solution Focused Brief Therapy. My approach to SFBT is based on questions mastered to invite the client to describe their desired envision outcome, amplify solutions, and instill hope. The questions I ask may have a purpose and are deliberate to what the client is unfolding during a session. The language to the questions matters and is my listening to the problem symptomology using the third-ear sets the tone for ways the client can experience new situations.
