More about Teresa

  • 21 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

As a Licensed Practical Counselor with a rich tapestry of over 20 years in the field, I bring a depth of understanding and a breadth of experience to each session. My journey in counseling has allowed me to support a diverse array of individuals grappling with challenges including depression, anxiety, complex relationship dynamics, addiction, parenting intricacies, the aftermath of trauma, and navigating the complexities of ADHD. My commitment extends profoundly to those who have endured physical or emotional wounds in the shadows of domestic violence.

At the heart of my practice is a counseling style that is not just warm, but genuinely engaging and interactive. I firmly believe in the power of respect, sensitivity, and compassion as cornerstones of effective therapy. Stigmatizing labels have no place in our sessions. My eclectic approach weaves together the best elements of cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling philosophies. This integrative blend is then meticulously tailored to resonate with your unique narrative and specific needs.

Embarking on a journey toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires immense courage, and acknowledging the need for change is the first, brave step. If you're poised to take this step, I am here not just to support, but to empower you in this transformative journey.

Together, we can explore new horizons of emotional wellbeing and personal growth. I am eagerly looking forward to being a part of your journey and working collaboratively with you to unveil the vibrant life you deserve.

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. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I was going through some difficult times and deeply burdened with depression and anxiety at the time I reached out to FaithfulCounseling. Very soon I was matched to Teresa who firmly and gently held me and guided me through the worst of it. She is kind, wise, empathetic and really listens to you at a deep level, even the things you are not saying. At four months, while nowhere fully healed (I have since learned it is a daily process), I have come so far and feel so much more confident and better equipped to keep going and making progress towards a better life. I highly recommend her and if stick with her for any amount of time you will certainly have the support you need. God bless you, Teresa!

Teresa offers more than talk therapy. She is listening and responding. She is developing a real relationship with me.

Fantastic therapist - super professional, with excellent boundaries (night and day compared to that previous character whose name my memory seems to have blocked!)

She has gently pushed me to adopt better standards for myself while helping me recognize the areas where I ought to be kinder to or prouder of myself.
