Great to meet you!

Hi, my name is Teresa Mefford. I have over twenty years of experience working as a counselor in Virginia and Alabama. I enjoy working with preteens, teens and adults that are dealing with mental health issues.

My approach to therapy

I like to get to know every aspect of my clients lives so together we can develop the best working plan to meet your needs. My approach is warm, nonjudgemental and empathic. I believe in treating people with dignity and respect and starting where you are comfortable and growing from there.

What you can expect from me

We will set goals together. I am interested in what you know about yourself and want to share my knowledge, skills and abilities to help you further your growth. My approach is to identify your strengths and understand your challenges. I'd like to help you take a look at any unhelpful thoughts and teach you how to think positive to decrease emotional distress.
