Tenisha Simon, PMHNP-BC

Tenisha Simon was born and raised in Bronx, NY. She is a first generation American and a proud Antiguan. Mental health management is often overlooked in the Caribbean and African American culture. Tenisha’s goals are to make quality mental health care accessible, decrease the stigma associated with mental health and help clients to realize their potential of health and wellbeing.

Tenisha Simon has over a decade of experience as a mental health provider starting as a RN in Jamaica hospital (NY) in the psychiatric emergency room. She developed an interest in providing mental health care after seeing the same clients returning to the hospital. Many of these clients lacked support, structure and routine in their lives. With her clients, she likes to impact overall wellness by creating positive habits around nutrition, sleep, career and relationships.

Anxiety & Panic Attacks

“Before I started sessions with Tenisha Simon, I was having daily panic attacks and constant worry. From the very first few sessions, my prescriber and add medication management taught me breathing and grounding techniques which made a noticeable difference. Over the next two months, I could leave the house more often, sleep.

Depression & Loss

Losing someone close to me left me in a dark place—unable to find meaning or even hope. Tenisha Simon, helped me through a gentle, compassionate process. Through talk therapy and reflective exercises, I gradually began to reconnect with small joys—reading, meeting friends, being outdoors.

Stress & Work Burnout

I was burning out at work—long hours, constant stress, no boundaries, always exhausted. My sleep was terrible and my mood was low. Tenisha Simon helped me set boundaries, manage my time better, and taught me mindfulness practices that reduce my racing thoughts. I’m now able.

Help individuals with Relationship Issues

My partner and I were stuck in the same arguments, always misunderstood each other, and felt disconnected. We came to Tenisha Simon for couples counselling. The counsellor helped us communicate differently, empathize, listen rather than react. It was hard work.

Adolescents / School‑Related Stress

As a high school student, I felt extreme pressure to perform, constant anxiety before exams, and self‑doubt. Working with Tenisha Simon helped me understand how to manage my fear of failure, develop healthier study habits, and deal with comparison to others.
