About
Tinisha Pender, MA, LPC, NCC is the owner and lead therapist of Common Ground Therapeutic & Coaching Services, LLC, providing mental health therapy and coaching services throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
The year 2020 brought unprecedented uncertainty and change across the world. For many, it was a season marked by isolation, fear, and emotional overwhelm. While some resisted the changes brought on by the pandemic and others adapted to them, one reality remained the same: people were forced to confront unresolved pain, trauma, doubt, shame, and emotional struggles they could no longer avoid. As a result, many individuals began experiencing heightened symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, and emotional distress without the tools or support needed to navigate them.
It was during this pivotal time that Common Ground Therapeutic & Coaching Services was founded. Recognizing the growing need for a safe, nonjudgmental, and confidential environment, Tinisha created a space where individuals could show up authentically, process life’s challenges, and begin the journey toward healing and self-discovery. She believes that true healing begins when individuals are able to find common ground within themselves before they can cultivate healthy relationships and connections with others.
Tinisha’s therapeutic approach is both relatable and innovative, blending evidence-based practices with genuine human connection. Common Ground TCS is dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families who are seeking healing, growth, and restoration within themselves and their relationships. Through collaborative work, clients are empowered to gain insight into life’s challenges, develop healthier coping strategies, and build the confidence needed to heal, grow, and thrive.
