Teresa lets me be myself. In past experiences if I didn't write or cancell to many times they would drop me. Teresa is very patient and is concerned about my welfare. I have told people about Betterhelp and Teresa. She understands my needs, worries and my ways of communication which in turn, makes me feel more comfortable

Welcome!
I know it’s not always easy making the first call to reach out for help, but I’m so glad you did. “Accepting help is its own kind of strength.” I believe everyone should have a safe and healing place to work through life’s difficulties.
Professional Summary: A highly skilled compassionate, empathetic, and solutions-oriented Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to providing exceptional care and implementing effective treatment plans.

I have over 25 years of experience working with a wide array of topics; depression, anxiety, grief, eating disorders, addictions, relationship issues, OCD, trauma and abuse, PTSD, domestic violence, parenting challenges, career transitions, LGBTQIA issues, and discrimination. My focus is to always make you feel welcomed and supported.
Enough about me; I am excited to get to know you!

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.
