More about Teresa
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I earned my bachelor’s in Social work from the University of Montana in 1996. Since that time, in 2003, I earned my Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW.
I have over 20 years of experience working with patients of all ages. I have clinical experience with outpatient, intensive outpatient and psychological inpatient. I believe in a person-centered counseling approach where my clients can feel a sense of respect and autonomy. I also have experience as a medical social worker that enhances my ability to work with comorbid diseases. l am well versed with cognitive behavioral therapies such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, DBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ACT. I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) for clients suffering from anxiety, panic, PTSD, or trauma. In addition, I utilize motivational interviewing skills, rational emotive behavioral therapy, and I have experience working with addictions. Furthermore, with addictions comes co-occurring disorders and I have had the privilege of working with that population for years. Your goals are what are important to me and will be the foundation of our therapeutic journey. I understand that it can be difficult to ask for help and I recognize the courage that it takes. No matter what struggle you are facing, I hope it is one that we can work on together!

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.

Teresa Lewis helps me cope with PTSD and servere anxiety. She listens to my struggles and provide useful tools to get through my daily hardship. She puts my feelings and thoughts into words- explains what they are and validates me. I can't do it without her.
She's great
Teresa has helped me through so much. I look forward to our talks every week and am grateful for her words.
Teresa has been a real blessing to me! She has helped me so much, just in the short time that I have been seeing her. I feel like she really cares for me, and wants to help and support me.
Teresa has been a godsend, I started with her before my divorce, but she has been the beacon I needed to help me find my way through these turbulent waters. I look forward to each session more than anything in my life these days. Her reflection and questions are so driving. I’m excited every time I have an appointment scheduled.
I am very satisfied with my therapist and would recommend her and her knowledge with anyone who is suffering with trauma or ACE, adverse childhood experience memories that have emerged in your later years.
I absolutely love Teresa! She is kind, compassionate and has a great sense of humor. I trust her completely and look forward to continuing my sessions with her in the future
Teresa has been absolutely amazing in helping me find my voice in sensitive situations. I am generally a vocal person in my day to day life but when it starts to involve my family, I get a little nervous about being as outspoken as I naturally am due to my own inner issues that I’m working through. Teresa has been the perfect therapist to help me feel empowered in my actions and decisions to work towards a healthier baseline me.
