Tessa Vanderhorn

I help adolescents, couples, and adults to work through adjustments, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, OCD, and trauma and create a life they love. When you are on a rollercoaster of spiraling thoughts and painful emotions, you feel broken, unseen, or voiceless. You may be experiencing confusion, guilt, pain, or shame, but you don’t have to stay there. I have great compassion for the difficulties you are experiencing, and I look forward to working with you to find your inner strength and assist you in living a happy, fulfilling life.

You will find a safe space for healing, developing skills and resilience through our work together. I enjoy collaborating with my clients using traditional talk therapy, neuroscience, art, and I integrate Gottman methods for couples. You will be empowered with the insight and skills to design a life that feeds your joy and fulfills your purpose.

During the initial session we will explore the symptoms or problems you are facing. Next we will define you goals; for example are you looking for new coping strategies, communication skills, relationship skills, or tools to shift how your body is processing stressors. I work with different modalities such as cognitive behavioral, emotion focus, Gottman method, Dialectical Behavioral, neuroscience, and mindfulness therapies, and we will tailor therapy objectives to match your preferences.
