Terriee has been the support I have always looked for in a therapist. She has empowered me, challenged me, encouraged me and helped me build my tool box so I am confident in my healing. I often reflect on our sessions and content Terriee shares with me and feel she is always one step ahead of me, guiding me as I explore sobriety, trauma and loving myself. I couldn’t be more appreciative or thankful for her. Terriee is the reason I tell everyone to try the BetterHelp app! Her genuine care and direct approach has been key for me!

How I Can Help:

I’m here to provide the support, guidance, and encouragement you need. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, or other mental health concerns, I will work with you to develop strategies that suit your unique situation. Together, we’ll set achievable goals and build the skills you need to thrive.

This helps you develop psychological flexibility. I tailor my methods to fit your unique needs, incorporating techniques like dialogue, cognitive reframing, and awareness exercises to help you achieve your goals.

Credentials & Experience:

With a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Science in Counseling from Nova Southeastern University, I’ve worked extensively with individuals facing dual diagnoses, especially PTSD. My experience spans working with children and adults, addressing a broad range of mental health issues.

About online counseling

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.

Terrie has helped me remember who I am in the year that I’ve been talking to her in weekly sessions. I’ve gone from someone dealing with suicidal thoughts and rage to someone who is more peaceful and able to identify triggers that put me in a bad mental space. I was very skeptical of therapy. It didn’t work for me before. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, showing up for myself day after day. But I really do feel the difference and so does my family.
