Tenecia Bullock-Funches
About
Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Tenecia Funches, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) based in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I’m passionate about helping you navigate life’s challenges, better understand yourself, and develop the tools you need to create meaningful change.
I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and understood without judgment. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, and I strive to meet you where you are while helping you recognize your strengths, build confidence, and develop healthier ways of coping with life’s stressors.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. My goal is to help you feel empowered to make changes at your own pace and build a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, growth, and greater emotional well-being.
My motivation for working with autistic and neurodivergent individuals comes from my belief that every person deserves to feel understood, accepted, and empowered to be themselves. As a therapist, I want to create a space where you feel safe expressing your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without feeling pressured to fit into society’s expectations of how you should think, communicate, or navigate the world.
I recognize that neurodivergent individuals have unique strengths, perspectives, and experiences, and I believe counseling should honor those differences rather than focus on changing who you are. I am passionate about helping you navigate challenges such as anxiety, emotional regulation, relationships, communication, and everyday stressors while building on the strengths you already possess. My goal is to help you develop practical coping strategies, increase self-understanding, and feel more confident navigating life in ways that work for you. I want our work together to be collaborative, affirming, and centered on what matters most to you, so you can feel supported in creating a life that reflects your individual needs, values, and goals.
I take a compassionate, affirming, and strengths-based approach to therapy, recognizing that you bring your own unique abilities, perspectives, and experiences into our work together. I believe you deserve to feel accepted for who you are, not pressured to change the parts of yourself that make you different. I focus on building on your existing strengths while helping you identify strategies that support your individual needs and goals.
My approach is collaborative and individualized because I understand that what works for one person may not work for another. Together, we can explore practical tools for managing anxiety, navigating emotions, building confidence, and strengthening relationships in ways that feel authentic and comfortable for you. I strive to create an environment where you feel safe expressing yourself, advocating for your needs, and discovering what helps you thrive. My goal is to empower you to recognize your strengths, honor your individuality, and build a life that aligns with your values and definition of well-being.
