Meet Tenneille Ely, LMFT at Holistic Wellness and Psychiatry in St. Thomas, USVI

Tenneille Ely is a compassionate Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in guiding individuals, couples, and families through life’s most challenging moments with a gentle and collaborative approach.

She believes that healing begins by revisiting the roots of our stories—unpacking how early life experiences shape present-day relational health and emotional well-being. When unresolved trauma and negative beliefs go unaddressed, they often lead to recurring patterns that keep individuals feeling isolated, misunderstood, and stuck.

Tenneille works to help clients reprocess that pain, offering a supportive space to “restory” their lives in ways that promote growth, empowerment, and deeper connection.

Inspired by the work of Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, she understands that unhealed wounds can unconsciously drive our actions and relationships. Her goal is to help clients become the authors of their own narratives, rather than passive recorders of past pain.

Tenneille is EMDR Certified and brings deep expertise in treating trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, couples issues, and attachment-based challenges. Her therapeutic style is rooted in empathy, insight, and a strong belief in the human capacity for healing and transformation.
