Getting to know Teresa Torres-Johnson
Hi there, I'm Teresa!
My name is Teresa Torres-Johnson. I have over thirteen years of experience working with anxiety disorder, substance abuse, addiction, PTSD, autism, LGBTQIA+, stress, and couples counseling. I was a teacher for some years and worked with adolescents to geriatrics. I earned my Bachelor's degree from North Carolina Wesleyan University.
My approach
My counseling approach is eclectic because not everyone fits a mold. I use an interpersonal approach to link environmental stressors to issues. I support self-efficacy to reduce symptoms. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to introduce new adaptive learning experiences and replace maladaptive processes. Additionally, I use mindfulness counseling to help you pay attention to your feelings and understand your present thoughts without judgment.
My focus
I have worked with clients ages 11 to 70. I worked with adolescents in schools and military personnel dealing with PTSD, addiction, and relationship issues. I have supported the LGBTQIA+ community addressing family and community challenges. I have helped women dealing with identity, domestic violence, divorce, sexual assault, and childhood issues in a non-judgmental environment.
My communication style
I use active listening and compassionate feedback to build confidence during sessions.
My journey to therapy
I was a teacher in a low socioeconomic area. Students often shared issues from home, and I knew I wasn't equipped at my educational level, so I went back to school. My heart for people drove me to this path, and now I combine both to help everyone achieve a better quality of life by changing their perspective.
My goals for you
Goal setting is about the client, so I use brainstorming to develop realistic goals from their perspective.
