I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York.

I also help clients who are experiencing challenges grief, with life transitions, depressive-symptoms, and anxiety-related symptoms.

First session

In our first session, we will begin with reviewing intake information, safety, confidentiality and brief introductions. We will discuss the expectations and framework (telehealth, frequency, timeliness, participation, fee) of therapy sessions. Clients can expect to discuss what led them to seek therapy and what they hope to get out of treatment. We will create goals to work towards in future sessions.

Strengths

Through my experience of providing therapy, the therapeautic relationship and creating a space where a client feels safe is of the upmost importance. I am compassionate, non-judgmental, and work at the clients’ pace.

Treatment methods

Psychodynamic

Psychodynamic therapy is the primary modality I use in treatment. Utilizing psychodynamic techniques, I help clients examine patterns, emotions, relationship dynamics, and childhood experiences to understand current behaviors, thoughts, and other mental processes.

I had a lot of "gunk" on my heart and mind. Teshera is helping me think of why I see it as gunk, should I see it as gunk, and if so should I clean it up for myself? I feel more stable after our talks, even when I have to realize some hard truths about myself. I don't walk away feeling judged. I walk away feeling like I can see my opportunities to change. I can't begin to describe how freeing that is. I'm so glad I went back to therapy. THANK YOU TESHERA!!!
