Hi, I am Teresa. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker seeing clients in Illinois and North Carolina. I obtained my Masters Degree in Social Work from Western Carolina University, Cullowhee NC. I have been practicing Social Work for several decades and I am currently working with college aged students with career counseling, life transitions, coping skills, self esteem. I have extensive experience with older adults, life transitions, end of life, death and dying, chronic illness, grief and loss.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I would want to get to know a little about you, what brings you to therapy, what your goals are and challenges you are having. The goal would be to work together towards a plan for your goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have been told I am very easy to talk to. I am empathetic and have genuine care and concern for my clients. I focus on client driven goals.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with both college aged students and older individuals.
