Getting to know Teressa Whitmore

Hi there, I'm Teressa! I am Dr. Teressa Whitmore, PhD, LPC, providing compassionate, individualized therapy for adolescents, adults, and families. I focus not only on what's wrong, but on what's strong. Together, we'll build coping skills, address emotional and relationship challenges, and create practical strategies for meaningful, lasting change. My focus I work with adolescents, adults, and families who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, family conflict, behavioral concerns, or major life transitions. I support clients in understanding their emotions, recognizing their strengths, improving relationships, developing healthy coping skills, and creating positive change. My approach I approach therapy with compassion, respect, and the belief that treatment should be individualized to each person. I use evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Together, we identify strengths, address challenges, build practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful change. My communication style My communication style is warm, supportive and straightforward. I create a judgment-free space where clients can speak openly and feel heard and respected. I listen with compassion while also offering honest feedback, encouragement, and practical guidance, meeting you where you are while helping you build confidence and move toward effective goals. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist grew from a desire to help people navigate difficult seasons and recognize the strength they already possess. Over the years, my work with individuals and families has strengthened my commitment to mental health care. I became a provider to create a space where people feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal.
