Are you ready for change? Hello! My name is Theresa, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in private practice in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.
My doctorate is in Marriage & Family Therapy from the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and I also have a Masters degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. This, along with being a Certified Family Mediator, has given me the skills to offer consultation services to couples and families going through separation and divorce.
I'd like to say I specialize in women's issues, especially those surrounding self-confidence, maintaining a sense of self and independence in a relationship, and working through the grief and insecurities of infidelity. I've also taught courses for Tulane University in Gender Studies & Sexuality, and this gives me a bit of an edge in new research for women's studies.
As a therapist, I offer pre-marital counseling as well, using the PREPARE/ENRICH curriculum, if the couple enjoys using one. I'd like the chance to meet once as a couple, to determine your needs and expectations. From that initial session, we can decide together if you'd like to use coursework in sessions, or you just need some fine-tuning in your communication with each other.
My preferred approach to therapy is a systems-based approach. I use Solution-Focused and Emotionally Focused Therapy when working with clients.
Additional areas of focus: Stress, Anxiety, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Anger management
