About Theresia
Hi, my name is Theresia, but you can call me Tee! I understand that right now you may be feeling lost, frustrated, angry, hurt, and depressed; believe it or not...I’ve been there! I get what it’s like to feel hopeless, scared, worried, alone, and overwhelmed. Right now, you may not even know what you feel. I know you have many questions, yet few answers to what is happening in your life right now. This is where I come in. Together, we will get to the root of what's beneath the mask. Yeah...that mask, we all have one. People may see us one way, but what you are carrying beneath it... That's what we will get through together. My goal is to help you identify what's beneath your mask, to help you heal. It can be exhausting, but you don't have to do it alone. I am here to help, listen to you tell your story, and help you figure out how to move forward in your life. More importantly, I am here to give you support and understanding so you do not have to do this alone. I promise you I will provide a safe place for you. Now, let me tell you a bit about myself. I am an experienced Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master's-level Marriage and Family Therapist with specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also completed extensive doctoral coursework and research in Marriage and Family Therapy at Northcentral University, where I focused on relationships, family dynamics, attachment, and codependency. My expertise includes helping with managing depression, rumination and overthinking, trauma, releasing trauma, and trapped emotions from your body, relationship attachments, codependency, and more. Also, I work with people who have low self-esteem or confidence issues, and I provide effective ways to manage and reduce anxiety. I help you figure out why you feel the way you do and how you can change it. Also, as a relationship expert, I can help you understand why you may find yourself repeating unhealthy cycles in relationships, struggling to set boundaries, or even trying to figure out what you want. My education and extensive training in family dynamics, personality traits, and even societal pressures have allowed me to help many build and maintain healthy relationships. In our sessions, we will explore attachment styles and personality traits that can better help you understand your relationships. As a clinician, I go beyond the "textbook" version of counseling. By this, I mean that I understand the value of engaging with you, being relatable and realistic about your needs, and supporting you in your efforts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Positive Psychology, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Structural Family Therapy (SFT), and Family Systems Therapy (FST) are my preferred therapeutic modalities. Aside from these, I have been trained in many other modalities, so my approach to therapy is eclectic. Thus, your counseling experience will be genuine and tailored to your specific situation. I am down to earth, and I am always available to offer relevant feedback and support. As you go through the current conflict or crisis in your life, I am here to listen and support you. Whether you are seeking meaning, managing depression, anxiety, difficulty in a relationship, or dealing with traumatic memories, I am here to support and help you. What makes me different? Well for one, I won't sugarcoat it. I will be honest with you and tell you what I see, because if I am not being honest with you, then I am not helping you. I will then help you to cope, heal, and build emotional resilience, and confidence, and provide you with strategies that help you gain clarity in your life. I understand this is a vulnerable experience for you, so I will support you every step of the way. In addition to this, I will engage with you throughout the week so we are not just meeting once a week, but talking, interacting, and working on the problems that led you here. This is a judgment-free zone that will give you the freedom to be yourself and discuss what is happening in your life. My goal is to build you up to the point of resiliency so that you can advocate for yourself. You may leave me a message at any time, and I will respond to you as quickly as I can with relevant feedback on your conflict. The process will not be easy, but it is possible. I make it my business to understand your experience and offer realistic feedback and interventions to help you. I see each client as unique, and therefore my strategies are genuine to your specific need. I am here waiting to help you. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Read more Show less
