She is great

Written on Oct 13, 2025 after therapy with Teresa for 1 year on issues concerning stress, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and anger management

Teresa Cortez pulled me back from the brink. I am still here and living life. She helped suggest tools I might try to deal with anxiety and panic. She also put me in touch with a group who deal with trauma and grief primarily which saved me. I still consider her my therapist and will for as long as she's available. I can't say enough positive things about Teresa Cortez. I'm so glad I found her and Better Help!

She’s a very knowledgeable and understanding person who uses a lot of tools that I’m sure she has honed over her many years of experience.

Written on Oct 28, 2022 after therapy with Teresa for 1 year and 2 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and family conflicts

Teresa has helped me overcome self esteem, confidence and trauma issues in the past year. With her help I have been able to analyze and reframe old patterns of thinking (and behavior) that were detrimental to my growth and improvement as the person I know myself to be. This time with her has proven to be extremely beneficial while traveling through tangible difficulties in my life such as toxic friendships, assault, cultural traumas and feeling unworthy of greatness. I am extremely grateful to her for her patience, understanding, and sternness when delivering necessary truths. You will not regret opening up to her <3

I’m deeply grateful to BetterHelp for referring my case to her.

Teresa was a wonderful, supportive, helpful resource for me when I was struggling with having to make decisions regarding my elderly mother. I don’t know what I would have done without her help. Since then she has been there for me with her sound advice and thoughtful encouragement through my everyday ups and downs. She’s a gem.

I've been seeing Teresa for a few months now, the first time I've seen a therapist since I was in college (which was many years ago!). She's helped me so much. A fantastic listener, able to distill her observations, and offer actionable tools to manage through what faces me. Therapy isn't easy, but I always feel good (or like I discovered something new about myself) after each session.
