More about Teresa

Thank you for reading about me. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. Over my tenure, I have had the honor of participating in service delivery, program development, and cultivating priceless relationships that have touched a diverse group of people. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, anger management, and ADHD.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and person-centered therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

My therapy sessions with Teresa are coming to an end now after almost 9 months of counselling. She was my very first introduction to therapy, and it has been an incredibly fun and transformative learning journey. I worked through my values, assertiveness, boundaries, anxieties and so many other gaps and areas of improvement that I didn't even know were related or were root causes to constantly feeling upset and stressed. I came to Teresa scattered and overwhelmed by every little thing, and I'm parting ways now feeling collected and so blissfully relaxed. I would highly recommend therapy with Teresa, her compassion, skill, (and humour!) were a game changer.

Teresa has been able to hear me out and offer insight into my life in a profound way. I was able to get a lot out of our sessions and I am able to now take every day as it comes.

Reviewed November 2021

She’s understanding of my situation, tries to know more about me without pushing it and is really nice to talk to.

Reviewed August 2021

I felt really comfortable and relaxed with Teresa right from the start - she is incredibly genuine and natural to talk to and always has a beautifully at ease smile. I often find it remarkable how insightful our conversations become because she somehow seems to be able to attentively pinpoint and tease out the most signifiant bits of information from a jumbled conversation without it ever feeling unnatural or strained. I feel very lucky to have met Teresa, she's excellent.
