As a Licensed Practical Counselor with a rich tapestry of over 20 years in the field, I bring a depth of understanding and a breadth of experience to each session. My journey in counseling has allowed me to support a diverse array of individuals grappling with challenges including depression, anxiety, complex relationship dynamics, addiction, parenting intricacies, the aftermath of trauma, and navigating the complexities of ADHD. My commitment extends profoundly to those who have endured physical or emotional wounds in the shadows of domestic violence.
At the heart of my practice is a counseling style that is not just warm, but genuinely engaging and interactive. I firmly believe in the power of respect, sensitivity, and compassion as cornerstones of effective therapy. Stigmatizing labels have no place in our sessions. My eclectic approach weaves together the best elements of cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling philosophies. This integrative blend is then meticulously tailored to resonate with your unique narrative and specific needs.
Embarking on a journey toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires immense courage, and acknowledging the need for change is the first, brave step. If you're poised to take this step, I am here not just to support, but to empower you in this transformative journey.
Together, we can explore new horizons of emotional wellbeing and personal growth. I am eagerly looking forward to being a part of your journey and working collaboratively with you to unveil the vibrant life you deserve.

Teresa offers more than talk therapy. She is listening and responding. She is developing a real relationship with me. I liked that it wasn’t just: “ok, what do you want to talk about next.” But she would bring up things from past sessions and try to keep me moving forward with my goals. She’d remind me of the progress I made and help me make new goals after I accomplished previous goals. Very personable, understanding, and empathetic.

Teresa Worthy has been a godsend.
I started therapy not really knowing what to expect. But with each session with Teresa, I am gradually taking back control of my life. She gives it to me exactly how it is, encourages me to challenge my thoughts/emotions/habits, helps me understand my emotions/feelings, and celebrates those little wins with me.
I am grateful to have Teresa helping me through my healing journey.

Fantastic therapist - super professional, with excellent boundaries (night and day compared to that previous character whose name my memory seems to have blocked!)
Teresa is an excellent and generous listener whose suggestions are always insightful. She is as kind as she is perceptive - but is also direct and very honest. She has gently pushed me to adopt better standards for myself while helping me recognize the areas where I ought to be kinder to or prouder of myself.
Provided you’re prepared to « show up », it seems near impossible not to make progress and feel better when working with her.
An absolute gem of a human!

I was going through some difficult times and deeply burdened with depression and anxiety at the time I reached out to FaithfulCounseling. Very soon I was matched to Teresa who firmly and gently held me and guided me through the worst of it. She is kind, wise, empathetic and really listens to you at a deep level, even the things you are not saying. At four months, while nowhere fully healed (I have since learned it is a daily process), I have come so far and feel so much more confident and better equipped to keep going and making progress towards a better life. I highly recommend her and if stick with her for any amount of time you will certainly have the support you need. God bless you, Teresa!

Teresa, despite only knowing me and my troubles for a few weeks, really helped me through a tough moment in my life.
She helped me see that I was able to pick myself up, and helped me see the faults in my own perspective without making me defensive. She pointed out behaviours and thought patterns detrimental to my mental health, and strongly encouraged me to put an end to it, and I have done so for now.
All in all 10/10, thanks Teresa.
