About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working as a counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, traumas, career challenges, self-esteem, and Addiction. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I hold a Bachelors and Masters degree in Social Work and an Associates Degree in Substance Use Disorder Counseling. I utilize person-centered therapy, which seeks to facilitate a client's self-actualizing tendency, "an inbuilt proclivity toward growth and fulfillment," via acceptance (unconditional positive regard), therapist congruence (genuineness), and empathic understanding. I am particularly interested in helping adults who have experienced trauma through Trauma-Focused CBT. I am also interested in DBT and treating self-esteem issues. I have a specialization in Alcohol and Other Drug (AODA) counseling and licensed to work with dual diagnoses. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. The greatest gift a person can give to another is truly listening to their life story, and I consider that an honor and privilege gave to me.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and 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!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Teri Nugent. 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.
Teri is wonderful! She listens to me and offers me a solution immediately. She’s very experienced in her field and has real interest in you as a person, she doesn’t see you as just another client. Thanks for all your help Teri! You’re the best.
