meet the founder
Tenisha Tolen, LMSW
Hi, I’m Tenisha Tolen, the founder of Safe Space Behavioral Health. I created this practice out of a deep calling to help people reconnect with themselves, heal past wounds, and step into their full power. With years of experience in clinical care, community mental health, and holistic wellness, I understand the importance of creating spaces where people feel safe, validated, and supported.
My work is rooted in authenticity, compassion, and cultural humility. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, trauma, relationship challenges, and burnout—especially those from communities that are too often overlooked or underserved. Through every session, workshop, or retreat, my goal is the same: to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered.
Our mission
We aim to be a leading beacon of hope and healing, where every individual, regardless of background, has access to a safe, supportive space to grow, heal, and thrive. We envision a world where mental wellness is embraced, stigma is broken, and communities are empowered through compassionate care and connection.
our vision
At Safe Space Behavioral Health, we believe healing begins with feeling safe, seen, and supported. Our mission is to provide compassionate, culturally affirming, and trauma-informed mental health care that empowers individuals to reconnect with themselves and reclaim their peace. Through therapy, education, and community-based wellness, we help clients navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change — one safe space at a time.
