I am a Licensed Practical Counselor with over 20 years of experience working as a professional counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, addiction, parenting problems, trauma and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse due to domestic violence.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. However, I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Teresa offers more than talk therapy. She is listening and responding. She is developing a real relationship with me. I liked that it wasn’t just: “ok, what do you want to talk about next.” But she would bring up things from past sessions and try to keep me moving forward with my goals. She’d remind me of the progress I made and help me make new goals after I accomplished previous goals. Very personable, understanding, and empathetic.

Teresa Worthy has been a godsend.
I started therapy not really knowing what to expect. But with each session with Teresa, I am gradually taking back control of my life. She gives it to me exactly how it is, encourages me to challenge my thoughts/emotions/habits, helps me understand my emotions/feelings, and celebrates those little wins with me.
I am grateful to have Teresa helping me through my healing journey.

Fantastic therapist - super professional, with excellent boundaries (night and day compared to that previous character whose name my memory seems to have blocked!)
Teresa is an excellent and generous listener whose suggestions are always insightful. She is as kind as she is perceptive - but is also direct and very honest. She has gently pushed me to adopt better standards for myself while helping me recognize the areas where I ought to be kinder to or prouder of myself.

Teresa, despite only knowing me and my troubles for a few weeks, really helped me through a tough moment in my life.
She helped me see that I was able to pick myself up, and helped me see the faults in my own perspective without making me defensive. She pointed out behaviours and thought patterns detrimental to my mental health, and strongly encouraged me to put an end to it, and I have done so for now.
All in all 10/10, thanks Teresa.
