Getting to know Teresa Lakin

Therapy is a healing journey. My approach is to support clients in facing life challenges, addressing trauma as needed, strengthening their ability to cope effectively, processing emotions, and internalizing personal empowerment. I am here to support your journey toward acceptance, growth, healing, and internal peace. My approach I have a psychodynamic approach, meaning that I work with clients to explore how past experiences impact current issues in the present. I will help you explore potential unprocessed emotions, events, and experiences in order to improve your current quality of life. I also utilize CBT in my approach. My focus I work with clients in a collaborative effort to reduce intensity of mental health symptoms, improve relationships, increase sense of self-worth, connect to personal empowerment, and increase overall functioning. Therapy is one of the few spaces where one can have full focus placed upon themselves, and I am here to offer my full attention to you. My communication style My communication style involves listening attentively as you process thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I will provide direct, authentic feedback in an effort to increase insight and positive change. I will provide support, empathy, and feedback in our collaborative work together. My journey to mental healthcare I chose to become a therapist due to the challenges, dysfunction, and trauma I experienced in my own past. I realized I could release painful emotions, empower myself, and lead a fulfilling life despite what I had gone through. My purpose is to help others do the same and to enjoy a life of internal peace, empowerment, and connection to self-worth. My goals for you We will work together toward attaining your goals. Therapy is a collaborative effort, and we will work to make changes that will impact your life outside of sessions.
