Hi, I’m Deasia Reynolds—a Licensed Master Social Worker, proud mom of two amazing kids, and passionate advocate for maternal and infant mental health. Born and raised in Tennessee, I’ve always felt a strong connection to my community and a deep calling to support mother’s during some of the most tender and transformative times in their lives.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and later completed my Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (Go VOLS)!

My passion for this work is both professional and personal.

I am a graduate student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program at Lamar University.

My counseling style is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That simply means this: your thoughts shape your actions, and your actions shape your life.

So in our work together, we slow things down. We notice your thoughts. We train them like a muscle.

Because just like the body, the mind can get stronger with practice.

I blend this with mindfulness, breathwork, and movement. Why? Because healing doesn’t just live in your head… It lives in your body too.

The nature of my work is to shine the light of awareness into the darkest corners of the mind, body and soul, to train the muscle of one’s attention to the present moment.

My name is Serena Tinsley, and I am a graduate Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at The Chicago School. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and solution-focused; I believe clients are the experts on their own lives, and I aim to equip them with tools to make healthy decisions that enhance their quality of life.

To me, community means being seen, supported, and accountable to others in a spirit of mutual care. I believe healing happens not only individually but in connection, within relationships and environments that affirm our dignity and belonging.

Community-centered work matters to me because mental health is shaped by real-world conditions like housing, safety, discrimination, and access to care, and these are best addressed alongside communities rather than from the outside.

I hope to help create accessible, culturally responsive spaces where people feel heard, valued, and empowered to move toward their goals.
