Let’s Begin the Work

Healing doesn’t have to be loud or fast. Sometimes it’s slow, steady, and starts with something as simple as being heard.
If you’re ready to feel more supported, more understood, and more yourself—let’s talk.

Tunisia Lumpford, LCSW

Therapist | Advocate | Family-Focused Healer

Hi, I’m Tunisia—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 22 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s hardest moments.

I’ve worked with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or unsure where to begin. Many are navigating the effects of trauma, depression, relationship conflict, family stress, or simply carrying too much for too long. They’ve been told to keep it together, stay strong, move on—but rarely offered space to pause, unpack, and breathe. That’s the space I hold.

My background includes decades of work with youth and families impacted by violence, grief, and change. I’ve sat across from people in crisis, in transition, and in silence—and I’ve seen firsthand what’s possible when someone finally feels seen.

Whether you’re in the thick of it or trying to make sense of everything you’ve survived, I’m here to help you slow down, reconnect, and begin again—with support that’s steady, nonjudgmental, and rooted in respect.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

I bring a calm, grounded energy to therapy. Clients often tell me they feel safe, seen, and not judged when we work together—and that matters to me. I don’t force breakthroughs. I don’t rush the process. I listen carefully, reflect honestly, and help you find clarity in the middle of what feels like chaos.

Whether you’re navigating family stress, anxiety, burnout, or the weight of trying to keep it all together, I offer space to slow down and reconnect—with yourself, your values, and your voice.

We’ll talk through the hard stuff, celebrate the wins, and figure out what healing looks like on your terms. Because you don’t have to keep holding this alone.

My approach is especially grounded in trauma recovery. Whether you’ve experienced acute events or long-term emotional strain, I use modalities like EMDR to help you process safely and gently—without needing to relive every detail.
