Hi, I’m Teasha, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I have experience working with young adults navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Many of the clients I support are emotionally sensitive or neurodivergent and want practical tools to feel more grounded and confident. My approach is trauma-informed and focuses on calming the nervous system. I use CBT and DBT skills, as well as creative strategies like art, movement, and mindfulness, to help students manage emotions, build coping skills, and improve communication.

I am currently accepting self-pay clients! During therapy sessions, I hold space for people facing all types of life experiences that encompass our collective human experience. Some key areas that I support individuals with are finding relief from anxiety through the cultivation of self-regulation and nervous system support, navigating major life transitions, healing from traumatic events, past or present, and exploring ways of living that are in alignment with one's true desires. I strive to help individuals build a relationship with themselves that are rooted in compassion and self-acceptance. As our imagination becomes activated and absorbed in the freedom of art and play, our linear or rational thinking processes of labeling and making judgments are temporarily suspended. This temporary suspension allows us to access our intuition (heart, center, wisdom, spirit, true self) and deepen awareness of our thoughts, feelings and experiences in life.

We are also a space that is committed to the health and well-being of our allies who have a desire to move through old patterns and blocks, and perhaps also wish to positively affect change in the world. Whether activists, veterans, college students, and more, we are all facing some very challenging and painful personal as well as societal issues, and yet what we share in common is an openness to try new ways of growing, sharing our gifts, and achieving our goals.

I specialize in relationship trauma, particularly recovery from coercively controlling relationships and cultic group.

Build your confidence and claim your life by embracing authentic identity and pursuing your true potential.
