LMHC, 10 years of experience
Hey there, I am Tesia. I am a licensed clinical counselor in Florida with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping those with stress, self-esteem, anxiety, relationship issues, post-traumatic stress, and abuse. I also have experience working with family and communication-related problems. The first step in therapy is admitting that there are struggles that you need assistance with and with that; I have here to help assist you in becoming a better you. For many people, they have always been the ones to carry on others' problems without anyone being a sounding board for them. Please allow me to help you develop the tools you need in a safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
In our first session, we first get to know each other and start building a relationship with each other. I will first understand what it that has brought you therapy and we will work out a treatment plan for goals of what you would like to accomplish.
One of the main treatment approaches that I utilized is the person-centered approach. I believe there is no cookie-cutter way to approach treatment and I focus on your needs only. Another big approach I use is the cognitive behavior approach. I believe that you can change the way you think, and the behavior will follow.
I worked as a trauma and anxiety specialist for five years. I have experience with domestic violence, victims of sexual assault, victims of violent crimes, inmates, veterans and their dependents.
I love working with adults would have face some struggles with life. I especially love working those who have experience some type of trauma and anxiety that has been caused by some distress in their life.

Tesia is genuine and a good listener. I appreciate that she is always her authentic self, which makes it easy to open up. She provides great clarity, is very knowledgeable about CBT skills, and has taught me many skills to manage my anxiety to the point where my anxiety is no longer a daily debilitating issue. Her authenticity and humor make sessions very enjoyable. She has been a huge help in my mental health journey and I finally feel happy and stable.
