Have you ever wondered, “What is wrong with me?” If your mirror can talk back to you, what would it say? What good things or bad things will it tell you and how would you respond? I will be the mirror that will help you learn more about yourself and will give you an honest reflection so that you can make the best decisions for yourself. I tailor my counseling approach based on your specific needs and goals. I combine a person-centered counseling approach with brief solution-focused therapy to give you the best outcome. I have a master’s in counseling with a dual emphasis on both School Counseling and Agency Counseling. I have over 17 years of counseling experience with all age groups, diverse populations, and subject matter. You don’t have to do life alone. Bring me your challenges, your struggles, and your troubles, and let’s work together to resolve them.
In our first session together, we’ll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you’re facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Completing the intake form is highly recommended, allowing me to vet if we are an appropriate match and will provide us more time to address your challenges.
Here are some quotes from my clients: "Teya is the best listener and has wonderful advice. I truly appreciate her." "Teya is friendly and very down to earth. She makes it easy for her client to relax and be themselves. She listens and respects her client's pace and what is important. One of her highlights is her ability to be genuine. I appreciate how she is her natural self. She does not camouflage herself and has a good balance of personal and professional." "I was very nervous to start therapy. Teya has put me at ease and I’m making significant progress. I’m feeling better and more confident about myself."
I use this technique to connect to my clients and help them feel heard. I respect my client to come up with their own solution. I function as a mirror to help sort out their thoughts so they can see their problems and decide what they want to change about themselves.
I use CBT to help my client understand their thoughts, feelings, and action. Through CBT, we can explore patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and work to break any unhealthy patterns.
I want to provide the quickest solution in the shortest amount of time. I want to make sure that every client leaves the session feeling heard and equipped with tools they can use to cope with after the first session.
I incorporate Biblical values with counseling. Values of treating others with kindness, gentleness, love, respect, and honesty. I make sure my counseling advice is inline with Biblical teachings. I show clients how Biblical strategies can be used to heal them.
I enjoy working with diverse backgrounds and ethnicities. I am patience with Clients new to America. I incorporate the role that family plays in creating the individual. Through counseling, we can learn to appreciate our unique identity and use that to our advantage.
