Life can sometimes be difficult and surprising. There are ebbs and flows. The seasons of our life hold challenges, new issues arise, and we are sometimes confused. Perhaps what we seek is a new question. That question might lead to new answers and strategies for navigating through the present challenge.
I’m a counselor with over 20 years of experience and specialized trainings. I’ve become familiar with the variety and depth of our human circumstances and encounters. I hold a conviction and personal view that every person’s trials and perceptions are their truth and that they present an opportunity for growth. What is true for you, your reality, is our starting point toward achieving goals.
Counseling is a tool that helps us get current with our life. In the partnering of counselor and client, I utilize a holistic focus that validates your experience, finds the wisdom that makes the most sense in your challenge, and gives you a place to be seen and accepted without a need to be other than your true self.
With my ease of listening with empathy and intuition, and my ability to guide through the background noise and chaos of life events, your life story and the innate wisdom it holds will unfold so you can develop strategies that are in your highest and best interests.

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.

Wonderful support and human. Thank you!
Fabulous woman with great insights! She has a calm, patient and thoughtful presence that is invaluable for anyone processing difficult things.
Felt like Theresa got me the very first session! I’ve been in therapy, off and on, for awhile bet never really felt like the therapist understood me, Call me crazy but I sensed Theresa had the ability to help me work through things I need to address, and some I don’t even realize are issues! I look forward to our next session, Theresa!
Theresa is wonderful! I’ve dealt with many therapists in the past and was dubious, at best, with being matched with someone I knew nothing about. My suspicions were alleviated almost as soon as Theresa opened her mouth. She knew just what to say and how to say it in a way that I’d hear. She’s a gem!
I was very hesitant to try therapy again after having had very poor experiences with therapy in the past. Theresa has been a breath of fresh air and completely changed my opinion of therapy. I felt an almost instant connection with her, and she has given me the exact tools I need to work thru my issues. I couldn’t recommend her more highly than a 10/10 but wish I could.
Theresa is terrific! Really excellent at providing the help and support I need right now. It’s such a relief to talk to someone who can help me process my grief and still participate in the world.
She is an excellent therapist who filled my heart with courage to move forward and take action against what I have been subjected to and traumatized by. She is not only a good listener, but also a caring and supportive partner who regularly checks on my well-being. She understood my feelings and struggles and gave me invaluable guidance and advice that changed my life for the better and find my joy again.
I felt in an immediate connection with Teresa. I feel like she’s gonna definitely be able to help me. I’m excited to meet with her again and see where this journey is going to take me with her.
Absolute savior! I was drowning in my emotions I hadn't dealt with for 9 years in active military service. She has great tips and tools to help resolve the skeltons locked up in the closet!
Helpful and respectful. This is my first experience. I would recommend Theresa Bowes to anyone looking to move forward in life.
Theresa is great at listening and giving helpful feedback. She's willing to ask challenging questions but also let's you come to your own conclusions. She doesn't criticize or talk down to you and treats you like a whole individual. She She's empathetic and patient, which is so important for a mental health provider.
Simply wonderful ✨
Theresa Bowes is wonderful! She has thoughtfully advised and guided me through such a delicate and stressful experience. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
Theresa made me feel very comfortable from the start. She has listened and offered good presuppositions and input. I feel supported and very comfortable talking quite in depth about some issues. She also checks in and responds quickly to messages outside of therapy. She's been very helpful getting me through a rather difficult situation and I look forward to seeing what personal progress I can make with her.
Theresa is extremely helpful. I am pleased to say that I have grown and become closer to the person that I want to be with each discussion/tool/idea. Thank you, Theresa!
Wonderful listener. Wise. Has great insight and advice.
Theresa is a wonderful therapist with a surprising amount of insight and compassion. I'm glad I found her for sessions after not clicking well with a different therapist before, and I'd highly recommend her for relationship topics and everything else she specializes in.
