Tessa Walls, LCPC

Psychotherapist
MD
Hi there, I'm Tessa! If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself lately, you're not alone — and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I'm Tessa Walls (she/her), a licensed clinical professional counselor offering telehealth therapy for teens (16+), adults, and couples. I help people navigate hard transitions, relationship tension, grief, identity shifts, and the internal storms of depression, anxiety, and trauma. My approach Whether you're adjusting to a big life change, working through past pain, or trying to make sense of who you are now, therapy can be a space where you stop holding it all together alone. My role is to walk alongside you with warmth, curiosity, and practical support — not to "fix" you, but to help you reconnect with your own strength, clarity, and self-trust. Therapy with me is collaborative, flexible, and human. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all healing. I draw from evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT, but I also leave space for the emotional, relational, and even spiritual dimensions of your experience — if that’s something you want to explore. My focus I’m kink-aware, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and attuned to neurodivergent experiences. I work well with clients who want both validation and accountability — people who are ready to explore their inner world and try out new ways of coping, communicating, or showing up for themselves. My communication style I’ll ask about symptoms or patterns that have been showing up, but just as importantly, I’ll listen for what matters most to you. Together, we’ll start to identify goals that feel meaningful and manageable. You don’t need to have it all figured out — we’ll work together to chart a course that fits your pace. My goals for you You can expect structure when it’s helpful (like setting goals or practicing new skills), and openness when you just need a space to reflect, feel, or make sense of things.
