Have you spent years trying to meet someone's expectations, avoiding conflict, or striving for perfection just to feel worthy? Many of us struggle with not-enoughness. Early childhood experiences, family dynamics, high pressure environments, and past relationships can all contribute to the belief that you must earn love, safety, or acceptance. When your nervous system has learned to stay on alert trying to please, perform, or stay in control it makes sense that self-doubt and anxiety would follow. Those patterns you learned can be unlearned and self-acceptance can be cultivated through getting curious about your inner world. My focus is treating anxiety disorders, complex PTSD, and adjustment disorder. If you are searching for a therapist who has a lot of education, training and patience, a half a century of life experiences, is a fan of Grace and Frankie, hikes and loves dogs, then you have found her.

My name is Teerah, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma work with adolescents, teens, and young adults. I have worked with clients of all ages and believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can finally stop filtering yourself. I’m very down to earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely believe nothing is “too much” to bring into session. Whether you are dealing with trauma, anxiety, relationship stress, or just feeling emotionally stuck, my goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and a little less alone in it all.

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas City, MO


I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use challenges, emotional overwhelm, and difficult life transitions. Many of the clients I support feel exhausted from carrying stress, self-doubt, unhealthy coping patterns, or the emotional weight of trying to manage everything on their own.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. Together, we’ll work toward understanding what’s keeping you stuck, strengthening healthier coping skills, and creating meaningful, lasting change that supports your emotional wellbeing and everyday life.

I believe in meeting my clients where they're at. They are the expert in their own story. I'm just here to listen, help process, maybe challenge, and encourage them in their journey. I went to Newman University for my Master's Degree and went on to get my Clinical License. I have worked with varying populations including teens, adults, geriatrics, the prison population, couples counseling, and Christian Counseling. I enjoy working with people who have been through trauma or grief or have experienced anxiety or depression.
