02 · In Teresa's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
For more than a decade, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals, couples, and families move through some of the hardest seasons of their lives. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and ADHD. I also have experience working with people who are experiencing burnout, and overwhelm with life transitions. My passion is guiding clients out of survival mode and into a place of clarity, connection, and emotional resilience.
I specialize in solution-focused and emotionally focused therapy-two powerful, research-based approaches that help clients quickly identify what’s not working and begin making meaningful change. I aim to create a space where every person feels safe, seen, and heard.
My clinical lens is deeply systemic, meaning I help clients understand not just what they feel, but why-considering relationships, identity, culture, and life experience. From there, we work together to build healthier communication, stronger boundaries, and practical strategies that support long-term healing and growth.
Clients often describe me as honest yet compassionate, grounding yet empowering. I believe therapy should be both reflective and forward-moving. Yes, we explore the roots-but we also build the tools. I look forward to working with you!

03 · What happens next
Teresa practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Teresa's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Teresa at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Teresa is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Teresa.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Provenance
Teresa's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Teresa. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
