About me
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who chose this profession later in life because I have always had the desire to help others in ways that will really make a difference in their lives. I am empathetic and a good listener. I provide emotional support to my clients without judgment. Many of my clients have suffered from trauma, isolation, and rejection from family and friends. Some of my clients have experienced episodes of self harm, suicidal ideations, and suicide attempts. I primarily use a client centered approach, as I believe that clients are capable of making the right decisions for their lives with the right support. In addition, I use other therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, mindfulness, positive psychology, anger management, motivational interviewing, and coping skills for anxiety and depression. I prefer to work with adults, but will work with older adolescents as well.
Mental health is as important as physical health, and when one suffers, the other suffers as well. So many people do not seek the help they need because of fear of being labeled or stigmatized. As human beings, we are creatures of memory, and sometimes our pasts keep us from becoming the person we want to be. I want to be the one to help you become your best self.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Teresa Rutledge. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I honestly love how understanding Ms. Teresa is. She is encouraging and actually takes the time to listen, allowing you to finish your thoughts. She helps you through what’s troubling you, by giving you the space to express yourself. I’m happy I was able to spend the time I had with her. She has a kind spirt that helped me open up! I can not thank her enough.
She is good
She is great and super sweet! She helped me with everything that I needed, and she is a great listener. I recommend her completely!
I am so thankful for you. You were there when when I really needed to talk to someone. Thank you for being there.

Teresa is an absolute delight. My first session with her was today, and I left the meeting feeling seen, heard, empowered, and validated. I'm already looking forward to our next session!
She has been a great listener to my struggles and a no judgement therapist who is able to answer with kindness and honesty about my issues
Teresa has been fantastic throughout my entire experience. She is very responsive and offers a judgement free space for me to work through my feelings.
Teresa Rutledge has been a huge help in just a short time period. I really look forward to our talks each week, and she helps me understand my problems in a much better light. I would definitely recommend her to someone who is struggling with as much anxiety as I am. She is very kind, easy to talk to, and very respectful.
Teresa is so easy to talk to and has me feeling heard and better by the end of every appointment!
I do feel Teresa relates very much to my losses so close together & has offered suggestions for me to move forward.
Extremely friendly, very easy to schedule
Teresa is a calming personality that actively listens and validates my feelings. She offers support through both messaging and video calls and I have benefited from our client/therapist relationship.
I liked speaking with Teresa, she carried the conversation well and made it easy for me to talk.
Very respectful, gets back in touch in a timely manner.
