A Premier Counseling Experience Awaits You
I believe in a warm, welcoming environment where you can immediately become comfortable and feel safe to talk... created in person or from your computer. In office face to face, warm tea, cool water, the smell of relaxing essential oils and even a super soft blanket will greet your senses. Being surrounded by positive energy and uplifting quotes will speak to your heart and mind as you prepare to enter into a new path for your life. Follow me on Instagram for uplifting quotes - @drteri_d.
The next best thing to being in the office is the privacy and comfort of your home. Many clients have found the convenience of Telehealth to be optimal. We can create an emotionally safe virtual space to work.

What Others Are Saying About Dr. Teri
"I started working with Dr. Teri because of my panic attacks and high anxiety. I learned to manage my stress and anxiety, and stay calm in triggering situations. It makes me proud of how far I’ve come!"

“As a parent, I love my son and want to give him all tools that I can to help him make wise choices as he enters his pre-teen/teen years. We finally decided to have him try counseling with Dr. Teri and so far it has been a great experience. From the very first day, my son warmed up to Dr. Teri and was comfortable with her. He loves going to her and in his words, “I like her lots” (he is 10, so that’s saying a lot!). On the parental side, we see that he is learning about himself and how to read his own emotions and now processing and dealing with them in a healthier and more productive way. We think Dr. Teri is great and are so happy that we found her!”
