Great to meet you!

Hello, and welcome! My name is Theresa McDowell and I’m a dedicated School Psychologist and licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with over 20 years of experience in mental health and education. I specialize in supporting individuals across various stages of life, offering evidence-based interventions to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and grief.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered. I believe that each individual has a unique story and strengths, and my role is to guide and support you as we work together to navigate your challenges and achieve your goals.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to leave our sessions feeling supported, empowered, and equipped with practical tools to address their challenges. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and valued. Together, we will work toward fostering self-awareness, building resilience, and developing actionable strategies to navigate life’s difficulties.

Theresa's style is
