Teresia Hood

My name is Teresia Medley-Hood and I have over 20 years of formal and informal training. I attended Salem College and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology. I also attended University of North Carolina at Greensboro and North Carolina A&T University and received a Master’s Degree in Social Work. I conducted my internship at Forsyth County Department of Social Services. This is where my passion developed for providing needed mental health support to individuals, families and couples.

My approach to the therapeutic process starts with You! Meeting you where you are while offering a nonjudgmental, supportive and empowering approach. I employ an eclectic approach to therapy including CBT, Mindfulness, Solution Focused and most recently continuing extensive training in EMDR. I have experience in collaborating with people who are experiencing issues with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management and dementia/Alzheimer’s.

During the collaborative relationship with me, you can expect to feel empowered, obtain tools/strategies needed to improve your situation and reach your personalized goals. My goal is to create a stimulating, trusting and healthy environment for you to thrive and Succeed. Together we create life long solutions that allows you to continue growing and improving in all aspects of life!
