Getting to know Teresa Eddy
Hi, I’m Terri, a seasoned therapist who deeply values the connections I forge with my clients as I help them feel better, heal from their pasts, and create better lives. I am trained in EMDR, DBT, and brainspotting, and specialize in trauma healing. Drawing inspiration from my own rich experiences, I find joy in helping others navigate the complexities of life.
I offer individual and family therapy, drawing upon my wealth of experience and personal connection to the intricate dynamics of family life. My approach is tailored to support individuals in healing from past trauma, fostering meaningful connections, and guiding families toward a more harmonious existence. Trauma can change the way we see ourselves and the world, and I enjoy helping bring peace and serenity back to those who want it.
My motivation stems from a profound belief in the transformative power of therapy. As a child, I was trained to help my mentally ill mother and alcoholic father. Throughout my life, I helped others with chronic health problems as a respiratory therapist, then became an emergency room nurse, where I realized that many health problems were related to mental health. I changed my career to psychiatric nursing and then became a therapist in 2004. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from California State University Long Beach. I embarked on this path to help others overcome wounds that might hinder them from experiencing a fuller, more joyful life. As a seasoned therapist with training as a nurse, I have the experience necessary to approach my clients from a holistic lens, seeing the mind and body as interconnected.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In my practice, I employ a warm, intuitive approach, specializing in trauma healing that recognize the interconnectedness of mind and body. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is central to my work, laying the groundwork for growth and transformation. When my husband died of pancreatic cancer, I discovered EMDR to help myself and others process loss and trauma. My expertise includes EMDR, DBT, brainspotting, and inner child work, allowing.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Clients often express gratitude for the warmth and wisdom I bring to our therapeutic relationship. My intuitive, relational, and engaged approach creates a safe and supportive space for healing, and clients value a sense of feeling understood and the depth of connection that I help to cultivate.
In my therapeutic approach, I strive to infuse warmth, deep caring, and genuine connection into every session. Grounded in effective evidence-based modalities, my commitment is not just to techniques but to fostering an environment where you feel truly understood and supported. I am dedicated to guiding you with authentic warmth, standing by you through life's challenges, and empowering your personal growth. Together, let's create a therapeutic space that helps you to heal from past painful experiences and paves the way for a more enriching journey ahead.
