Teresa Nundahl
Are you going through a major life change and feeling unsure of what comes next? Maybe you're adjusting to an empty nest, a career change, retirement, or the loss of someone important to you. These changes can bring feelings of worry, sadness, loneliness, or uncertainty about who you are and what you want from life. I help adults in midlife and later life work through these challenges with greater confidence and peace of mind. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, family concerns, or changes in your health, you don't have to figure everything out on your own.
Find Calm, Build Confidence, Rediscover Yourself
My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and better able to handle life's ups and downs. Together, we'll explore what matters most to you, build practical tools to manage stress, and find ways to bring more meaning and joy into your life. I believe that even difficult changes can lead to new opportunities for growth. With compassion, understanding, and years of experience, I'm here to help you move forward in a way that feels right for you.
First session
Your first session is not about having all the answers. It's about having a conversation. I'll take time to get to know you, understand what has brought you to therapy, and learn what you would like to be different in your life. We'll talk about your experiences, your relationships, your strengths, and the goals that matter to you. Most importantly, you can expect to be met with warmth, compassion, and without judgment. We'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You don't have to tell your entire story all at once, and you don't have to know exactly where therapy needs to take you. We can figure that out together.
Strengths
My greatest strengths are listening with compassion, helping you see things from a new perspective, and offering practical tools you can use in everyday life. I use a mix of therapy approaches based on your needs, including helping you recognize unhelpful thought patterns, build on your strengths, and take small steps toward meaningful change. I especially enjoy helping clients set healthy boundaries, build confidence, care for themselves without guilt, and reconnect with what brings them happiness. You don't have to have everything figured out. We'll work together to find a path forward that feels right for you. The clients I'm best positioned to serve are… I work best with adults navigating the changes and challenges that often come with midlife and later life. You may be adjusting to retirement, changes in family roles, menopause, grief, loneliness, or concerns about aging and health. I also support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, regret, chronic pain, and major health conditions. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next chapter, I'm here to help you better understand your feelings, build trust in yourself, and make changes that support a more fulfilling life.
Ideal clients
My clients are people in midlife and later life who are committed to engaging in therapy consistently so they can feel less anxious and depressed and live more fulfilling lives. I help people navigate regret, loss, loneliness, and concerns about growing older. I also help support clients struggling with menopause, chronic pain, and major health conditions. My goal is to help my clients develop greater confidence in themselves and their choices, and create meaningful changes in their life.
Treatment methods
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I help you focus on what you want to change and the strengths you already have to make it happen. Together, we'll look at what's working in your life, what you'd like to improve, and small steps you can take toward your goals. This approach can be especially helpful if you've spent years caring for others and are ready to focus more on your own needs.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Our thoughts can have a big impact on how we feel and act. I help you recognize thought patterns that may be adding to stress, worry, or self-doubt. Together, we'll explore healthier ways of thinking and practical steps you can take to feel more confident and in control of your daily life
Motivational Interviewing
Making changes can feel hard, especially when you're unsure where to begin. I provide a supportive space to explore what matters to you, what may be holding you back, and what steps feel possible. Rather than telling you what to do, I'll help you find your own reasons for change and build confidence in moving forward.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I believe therapy works best when you feel truly heard, respected, and understood. My approach is warm, compassionate, and free of judgment. I'll meet you where you are, listen to your concerns, and help you recognize your strengths. Together, we'll work toward the changes you want to make at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
