Getting to know Teretha Lewis
Hello! My name is Teretha Lewis, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist in the Chicagoland area. I earned my Bachelor's degree and Master of Social Work degree, with a specialization in Mental Health, from Loyola University Chicago. For most of my career, I have worked in various settings within the therapeutic community, supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and are struggling to manage their daily lives. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, adults, and families dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, behavioral issues, sexualized behavior problems, and PTSD.
In my work, my goal is to assist clients in developing greater insight and effective strategies to manage stressful and distressing situations in their lives. Because no single treatment suits everyone, I tailor sessions to each client's unique style and needs. I believe therapy can be one of the most healing techniques for someone to overcome challenges in their life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients can expect to take away from their first session the mode of treatment I will be utilizing and beginning to understand and develop insight into some of the stressors in their lives

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

There were a couple of moments during my appointment when Teretha was multitasking on her computer and taking a quick phone call on mute. This was disconcerting.

Mrs. Lewis was absolutely wonderful and such a great listener. She made me feel extremely comfortable opening up for my first appointment. I would highly recommend.

I’ve been on the fence about this for a long time. I’ve recently been trying to take better care of myself and live a more “healthy” way of life. But I was leaving a major piece out, the easiest one to forget about, my mental health. All I can say is I wish I didn’t take this long, but at the same time, timing is everything. I am so glad I finally decided to take responsibility for myself including my mental health. And I could not be happier that it led me to Dr. Teretha Lewis - she is outstanding. My appointment went above and beyond what I expected.
