Teresa is absolutely amazing! I took therapy with her in 2020-2021 and just came back late 2023. She had impecable notes and memory since she remembers my main concerns and is able to see areas where I’ve grown and make connections to prior sessions we’ve had. She has a way of making you feel comfortable and at ease while discussing the real root of issues. I would 100% and have recommended Theresa to others!

Reaching out and trying to find a therapist can be one of the hardest things to do when you are feeling in chaos and in crisis. Once you take that first step, it gets easier and progressively easier. Feeling like someone is actually listening to you and focusing on you is so important, especially now days. As a therapist, I focus on each person’s specific needs and I adjust my style accordingly. I tend to draw from solution focused, strengths based and cognitive behavioral areas in order to help folks problem solve things that are going on currently and in the past. This has worked well for my client’s and outcomes have been positive.

I will strive to help you feel comfortable and safe from judgement and censure. Together I feel we can work on goals you want to achieve that will help you feel more confident, motivated and self-aware. I have over 10 years of clinical experience. I have been privileged to have worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and community teams providing therapy in homes, as well as private practice. I have a large amount of experience with relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, Autism, PTSD, parenting, grief/loss and medical changes. I obtained my Masters of Science in Social Work from University of Texas at Austin. I feel very strongly about quality therapy being provided for clients, so I obtained higher clinical training and acquired my license to supervise others in my field who also want to provide therapy and help people.

Being accepted and understood is what most people want and need. It would be a privilege to be present with you and provide that safe non-judgmental space so you are able to process and grow from the challenges life has thrown your way. In terms of availability, I check and respond to messages at least twice daily, seven days a week. I offer live chat, phone sessions and occasional video sessions weekly, mostly between the hours of 8am and 6pm on select days of the week. I also offer a few live chat sessions each week in the later evening hours or on the weekends depending on needs.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling.

She’s an amazing therapist and she’s changed my life for the better

Oct 2023

She’s helped me change my life! I have BPD and was devasted by the diagnosis. Teresa helped me realize that I can manage my emotions and moods and life a productive happy life! I’ve been in the best relationship in my life, I healed my horrible relationship with my parents and my younger brother and I finally have a sense of self. I’m the happiest I’ve been as an adult. Teresa thank you so much for giving me a second chance to turn my life around for the better. I will forever be grateful to you.

She’s amazing! I’ve been seeing her for over 5 years now and she’s changed my life! I’ve learned that I’m able to live and cope with having BPD. It’s not the life sentence that I thought it would be. Thank you for saving my life Teresa.

She’s the best!

Sep 2022

Amazingly wonderful !

Aug 2022

I've been working with Teresa for nearly a year now - through many different and challenging situations and life events. Teresa meets me where I'm at, listens well, helps keep me accountable, and gives me practical steps I can take to improve my life. She gives the gentle but firm push that I often need to keep going or change my approach, while never neglecting my humanity and need for encouragement and love. She has been a safe place for me to be honest and is everything I would want and expect in a counselor.

she's been absolutely wonderful and really helpful in the times i've been through.

I feel so lucky that I found Teresa. She has been so helpful as I navigate difficult family problems and find a way to keep my head above water. I would recommend Teresa to everyone.

H.O.·Jul 2021

Teresa is an amazing therapist! She listens to me and makes me feel valid and like my problems matter. I’ve had her as a therapist for three years or so for the treatment of BPD. She’s helped me in ways that I never imagined I’d be able to function in. I’m able to function sort of like an adult. She helped me realize a lot of hidden issues and has really helped me reconcile with my trauma from childhood well into my adult years. PLEASE GIVE HER ALL THE ACCOLADES AND AWARDS! She is a THERAPIST ANGEL! She’s the G.O.A.T of all therapists.

V.E.·Jul 2021

Amazing! She's so thorough and understanding!

L.O.·Apr 2021

She’s helped me get my confidence back

V.E.·Feb 2021

Teresa has been instrumental in helping navigate my grief of losing my 23 year old niece suddenly. She has also been able to give me great coping skills when dealing with certain family members during the holidays. I can’t say enough about how amazing Teresa has been and look forward to continuing my sessions with her!

S.Y.·Jan 2021

For the longest time I have been terrified about telling other people about what I have experienced. Earlier this year I was finally sick and tired of being afraid. Over it! Ever since I was matched with Teresa and she's been working with me. I've been feeling more confident, less afraid. I've only had a couple panic attacks since I started this and it's been like 8 months. I've come a long way, but I know I still got distance to travel. If Teresa, and God tbh, sticks with me pretty sure I can make it. ^_^

R.I.·Nov 2020

She feels like a friend. She is sweet and kind, and gives sound advice. She helps me feel strong. I always look forward to my sessions with her.

T.I.·Sep 2020

I’ve been working with Teresa for about a month now and it has been so beneficial. We immediately connected and I feel so comfortable talking to her about any issues I am having. She understands me and has been exactly what I needed! Working with Teresa has not only helped improve my mental healthy, but also my marriage and productivity at work. I highly recommend working with her!

R.A.·Jul 2020

It is too early to say, but I like what Teresa is doing with my case.

V.I.·Jun 2020

Teresa has been amazing in helping me learn about myself and figure out causes to issues I have been experiencing. I am so glad that I am able to have her as my counselor!

K.E.·Apr 2020

I think Teresa is a great listener and I love that she really cares about what I say to her. She helps me with great tips to help my anxiety and my personal life, overall.

O.T.·Mar 2020

Probably one of the better consolers I have ever had.

J.U.·Feb 2020

Teresa is very knowledgeable and timely. She gives great counsel for managing anxiety.

D.U.·Dec 2019

She’s the best therapist I’ve ever had!!!

V.E.·Dec 2019

Theresa is a blessing already and I have yet to fully get acquainted with the program and I feel she cares.

J.O.·Nov 2019

Teresa always listens to me and has given me a safe outlet to share my feelings. She works with me to help me to pick myself up and start to move forward after encountering a career crisis that was completely unexpected.

T.I.·Nov 2019

Teresa is caring, non-judgmental, and truly wants to help. If you're looking for a good listener who will offer great insights, I highly recommend!

B.R.·Sep 2019

She's an amazing therapist. She helped me start the process of working through years of unresolved trauma and is teaching me how to cope with my trauma and function day to day in the present. I love Teresa and recommend her to anyone trying out therapy!!! She's AMAZING.

V.E.·Jun 2019

I hope to never find another therapist again! She is phenomenal at listening and giving me tips on bettering my situation. When I don’t agree with her she’s quick to redirect to find a better solution that fits my needs and lifestyle. I’m forever grateful for her.

M.O.·May 2019

I have been working with Teresa for only a short while now, but so far she really has held true to the idea that I can tell her anything. I have had many counselors in the past, and she has been the only one so far who I actually felt like I could say anything to. I feel like my progress is important to her, and that I am truly listened to.

B.E.·May 2019

She is phenomenal. My only expectation coming into this was just need some one to listen when I talk about what I am going through! Guess what? Teresa went beyond my expectations and helped me as a genuine friend. I was able to put my perspective out and take her advice. Just imagine, I come from a different world, culture from where she came from but still she was compassionate and no problems in understanding what I am going through. I would recommend her to anyone who needs this. Most people need someone like Teresa to listen to and want to help or concerned genuinely.

A.N.·May 2019

I am very happy with conversations I have with Teresa. It helps me to clear my mind and help me think off and resolve my issues more constructively.

R.A.·Apr 2019

Teresa is very helpful and a very good listener! She took all of my concerns, had an answer for everything, and had very good techniques and advice to conquer all of my problems and issues!

M.E.·Feb 2019

Teresa has been a wonderful resource for me. She's given me perspective, understanding and a peace that I couldn't give myself. I appreciate her proactive recommendations and insight.

M.I.·Jan 2019

I have to say if I was religious she would be considered a “godsend,” because she really helped me as a person to help me through my personal obstacles and journey, it’s a pleasure to find a good therapist and even better when you have no doubts about the choice. I’m happy I stumbled across Mrs. Adcock and I look forward to continue receiving her help and assurance and advice.

N.I.·Jan 2019

Teresa is awesome, very patient, practical, and kind!

Teresa is quick to respond with insightful answers. She has been encouraging, honest, and helpful.

For the first time in the 10 years that I have tried counseling, I feel I have found a counselor who understands me and talks to my on my level instead of like a child. I have recommended BetterHelp to all my friends who are going through a hard time, as it is affordable, easily accessible and convenient.
