Welcome to my profile and congratulations on taking your first step into your therapeutic journey by being open to self-discovery and transformation. My name is Teona and I am originally from the country of Georgia. Assimilating into US culture was an interesting and challenging journey for me; however, it helped me become resilient and learn how to blend two completely different cultures. Coming from a collectivist country allowed me to connect with diversity better as a therapist. I often like to be the host, like being around people, and genuinely enjoy learning about them.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our initial evaluation, I assess the client's safety, strengths, and weaknesses and rule out any medical problems. I then help clients establish therapy goals that are realistic and measurable. Clients are able to walk out from therapy transformed by achieving what they want out of their lives through living, playing, and expressing. I prefer working with clients who need help with processing their traumas. I assign homework to clients because I believe that the best way to break unwanted patterns and improve awareness is through practice.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, specializing in treating childhood/transgenerational traumas. My main focus includes learning how to sooth inner child to improve self worth and to help you discover new ways of relating with others, especially close family members.
