Teresa Reitz
I have always been empathic and a good listener. I have always been drawn to wanting to help people make their lives better. I have worked in a variety of settings, including hospitals, hospice, foster care, and group practices. My training and expertise in schema therapy have allowed me to become the clinician that I've always wanted to be. As a schema therapist, I can be more real with clients while engaging in clinically-sound interventions that inspire real change.

First session
Working with me will feel safe, warm, and sometimes challenging when pushing through difficult issues. Progress in schema therapy involves a reduction in intensity and frequency of triggers and symptoms. Occasionally, I may assign practice to do outside of session. I enjoy working with clients who like to explore issues on a deep level, as that's where the most change occurs!
Strengths
I continue to engage in ongoing supervision and training to keep my clinical skills sharp and make sure that I'm continuing to provide the best care for my clients. My own core values very much align with the work encompassed in schema therapy; I offer a relationship with a warm, caring therapist who helps address core emotional needs within appropriate limits and with clinically-sound interventions. I find the combination of compassionate presence and clinical expertise essential to healing. “I enjoy working with clients who like to explore issues on a deep level, as that's where the most change occurs!”
Ideal clients
Adults who have experienced the effects of childhood trauma. Also those who are looking for support and assistance with anxiety and personality, and mood issues that are problematic to them in their life. I address through Schema Therapy and other integrative modalities how to deal with the effects of trauma and triggers that show up in their adult lives. The therapy relationship is key to establishing safety and trust to explore these issues and show up with confidence, compassion, and desire to help you live life that feels more fufilling.
