“Teresa is so approachable and trustworthy. I feel safe talking to her because it feels like she really gets it. It was hard to find a therapist who understands LGBTQ+ issues and religious trauma, and I'm so happy I found Teresa. She makes me feel seen and heard, while nudging me towards growth in the best way. ”

Getting to know Teresa Thompson

Hello and welcome! I’m Teresa Thompson, Founder and Senior Therapist at Salt River Therapy. Clients come to me feeling unsure and insecure, repeating the same frustrating patterns over and over again, and afraid to let go of what’s not working. Our work together helps them tame that feeling of being overwhelmed, ditch old and unhealthy cycles, and finally move forward on the life path that they want. I value building a genuine therapeutic connection with you - that’s why I’m open to bringing aspects of my personal identity and lived experience into my practice. As a binational, multiracial person living in diaspora, I relate well to “outsiders” and people with mixed or fluid identities. Women and LGBTQ clients often specifically seek me out as a therapist who is a queer woman of color - because I haven’t just studied these walks of life, I’ve lived them. Before I founded my private practice I worked as a psychiatric social worker in the community mental health setting. If you have CPTSD, Bipolar Disorder, psychosis, or severe depression, you can trust that I have the expertise needed to guide your care. Book a free phone consultation to learn more about my approach - I look forward to hearing from you.
