- LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with over 12 years of professional clinical work experience. Additionally, I have extensive experience as a public school teacher. My clinical experience ranges across a variety of treatment settings including private practice, community mental health/substance abuse clinics, and in the elementary, middle and high school environment. I specialize in family conflicts, relationship struggles, parenting/co-parenting issues, self esteem and confidence, and vocational & career difficulties. While integrating Biblically based Christian principles, and with gentle balance and guidance, I will walk with you through your areas of concern as you process the vast array of emotions attached to the issues. Together, we will work toward a solution that is focused on your strengths to create a more resourceful, resilient, hope-filled life worth living.

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.

Audrey is very good at what she does, I am very grateful.
In a world of nominally Christian therapists practicing on platforms like this, Audrey really stands out as a true believer committed to Christian principles and guiding Christian clients always with an eye on the Bible. Very happy with the care and guidance I receive from Audrey Teshima.
Therapist a believe truly cares and understands me. I need someone to help me through my life changes and she offers good advice and listens. Thank you!
From the first meeting with Audrey, I have enjoyed my sessions. Audrey has a solid background in science based technique. Audrey provided me with many worksheets which have helped me develop a new and important relationship. Look forward to the sessions with Audrey And highly recommend Her.
Audrey is a great therapist, she has helped me understand myself and my feelings better than any other therapist I’ve had. She is also very good with checking in and answering any questions in a timely manner. I hope to continue therapy with her for a good while!
Very understanding and helpful. Helping me look out for my own best interests in a considerate way. Helping me grow and push myself to make meaningful changes to my communication, behavior and though process.
Audrey has a way of listening to your thoughts on something and educationing and encouraging you to talk through your feelings while exploring if there are any other feelings behind them.
Audrey listens to my needs and gives you her full attention. She responds quickly and provides me with worksheets to help me do some self-reflection as the same time allows me to visually see what I need to work on. Audrey is very compassionate and empathetic...highly recommend her!
