Find Adult Autism Care Near You

Hello, my name is Teral. I am a licensed mental health counselor with 12 years of experience helping people through some of life's most challenging moments. While I am a professional in my field, I recognize that you are the expert on you. My desire is to work with you to develop and meet your goals by first actively building the level of trust through active listening, unconditional positive regard, in a compassionate, supportive, and safe space. I am here to genuinely as well as strategically provide you with hope and a way to move forward, when you may feel stuck. Especially, during those times when you are feeling lost, with no answers, or life seems more than you can handle. I am here for you. I am here to help you process feelings of anger, hurt, frustration, loneliness, insecurity, disappointment, shame or sadness. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges. I also have experience in Child Welfare working with children as well as adults with a history of physical trauma or emotional abuse (foster care, adoption). Even as an adult I have experienced personal trauma and understand that everyone responds differently and needs an individual approach to your healing journey.

What sets me apart?

Simply because, I love what I do. Being a therapist is much more than a career choice for me. It reflects a core part of who I am and my genuine desire to understand people on a deeper level, without judgment. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from many different backgrounds, experiences, and ways of thinking. Through those experiences, I developed a deep appreciation and respect for the strengths, insights, and perspectives that neurodivergent individuals bring.

My assessment style combines clinical expertise with warmth, curiosity, and genuine respect for each person's unique experiences. I strive to create a comfortable environment where you can speak openly and feel understood. The evaluation process is individualized and collaborative, focused on gaining a clear understanding of your lifelong patterns, strengths, challenges, and ways of engaging with the world. My goal is to provide meaningful insights that help you better understand yourself, make sense of past experiences, and identify strategies and supports that can enhance your well-being, relationships, and success in daily life.
