Pendo Thomas - Counseling Intern

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes leave you feeling discouraged, isolated, or unsure of what comes next. You do not have to face those challenges alone.

Originally from Tanzania, I provide counseling in English and Swahili for adolescents, young adults, and adults. Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a journalist and later served as a chaplain, experiences that strengthened my ability to listen with compassion, respect, and genuine care for each person’s story.

I offer evidence based therapy and Christian counseling for those who want to integrate their faith into the healing process. It is important to me that every person who walks through my door feels safe, accepted, and supported. My goal is to help you identify your strengths, overcome life’s challenges, and move toward the goals that matter most to you.

Having personally experienced the challenges of adapting to a new culture, I understand how loneliness, uncertainty, and the search for belonging can affect emotional well being. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, or cultural adjustment, I am committed to walking alongside you with compassion, practical guidance, and hope.
