Mrs. Teresa is absolutely amazing and the best therapist anyone could ask for. I've been seeing her on and off for over seven years and I could tell right away how caring and kind she was. She's helped me grow so much as a person and always listened to me throughout every session. She offers appointments over the phone, but her office is super cozy! Overall, you should definitely go with Mrs. Teresa if you're looking for a therapist.

Teresa has helped my daughter in her early teen years with her anxiety. My daughter felt very comfortable with Teresa from her first session on. She’s very clear and caring in explaining different ways to help ease her fears and anxiety. I as her mother have made appointments with her on my own to get a good understanding about how i can help my daughter at home. I would recommend Teresa to anyone that is searching for a great child therapist.

Teresa is highly knowledgeable and has many tried and true strategies for helping her clients in meaningful ways. Teresa is responsive, accommodating, and flexible. She has a way of offering support in a nonjudgmental and respectful way.

Theresa has been working with our daughter to help her manage her anxiety for the past year and she’s been wonderful! My daughter thrives on the kindness from others, so it’s really important to me that anyone working with her is not only great at what they do, but that they have a kind heart. I was so happy to learn that Theresa definitely was that person, and it was clear to me at her first session. At just our last appointment when we got in the car my daughter told me she just physically felt so much better after talking with Theresa, and this made me really happy to hear. Thanks for all that you do!

I would highly recommend Teresa for anyone seeking family counseling. I have personal experience off and on with Teresa for over 10 years now. She has been a tremendous blessing to our family over the years. Additionally, I have referred her to others who have experienced the same.

I've been in family therapy before to find support for my kids during/following a nasty divorce. While I found the support we needed in the moment, I can honestly say that that I now understand the value in having a therapist I found an easy and organic connection with; versus "just going with a therapist on my insurance." Theresa's support comes from a very human and heart felt place. She arranged a comfortable, accessible environment for our meeting/session. Her style is casual, candid, and inviting. This opened up an opportunity for me to share that got past initial formality (which can be awkward) and I felt like I was instantly understood. Given my own communication style, I don't easily connect with people. So while this might come across as a "simple" or "small challenge" for someone like me, it's actually monumental. My goal in meeting with Teresa was to find ways to cope with the loss of my oldest child. Anyone that has ever lost a child knows full well the magnitude of that grief. For me, I could not see past my grief. And I was genuinely scared that this experience was going to impact me in ways I would not be able to recover from. Teresa gave me hope where I thought none existed. First, by validating that my feelings were actually a very normal. This helped minimize the anxiety I was having about the feelings being "too big for me to handle." Beyond that, for the first time EVER, I left the therapy session with a solution that I could immediately, and on my terms, employ. She taught me about EFT, or tapping as it is commonly called. I had heard of tapping but thought that it was a diversionary tactic and didn't give it in other consideration. Teresa took the time to not only show me how to implement tapping, but to explain to me WHY it works. Furthermore, she gave me textbook information but on my level, in a way I could process the information; all while I was in the middle of a major meltdown. I have to tell you, I am blown away at how effective EFT has been, and right from the very beginning. I'm not going to tell you that "I'm cured of my grief" and it all just magically evaporated. I will tell you that it was extremely effective in getting me to RELAX, when nothing else was working. Not walks, not swimming, not marijuana, not alcohol. My grief ridden anxiety was so intense, I wasn't sleeping. This compounded the difficulty I was having in processing my loss. EFT got me to a place that I can communicate about my child, and my grief experience, without falling to pieces. And for the first time since this all happened, I faded into a peaceful sleep. Like immediately after the session. I plan to start each day with the first tapping/ mantra that Teresa taught me. This one addresses my specific grief "trigger." I also plan to implement the secondary (one more focused on generalized relaxation) tapping sequence on an as needed basis. For how simple and quick the practices are, I have found them to be extremely effective. Enough for me to focus, enough for me to sleep, enough for me to NOT spend my days rattled and consumed with crying. That's success in and of itself. While I am not yet at the point that I can envision life without my child, I am at the point that I am no longer experiencing my grief in a way that made me fear for my own sanity and safety. This is nothing less than a gift in the form of a self-reliant tool that can be utilized anywhere and anytime. If you're having a personal challenge, big or small, that you're struggling to process, see Teresa VanPelt. For me, her humanistic, holistic guidance has been nothing short of a miracle.

Teresa is a good listener, and ready to connect you with other resources that can further help you or that are outside her areas of expertise. Her clear commitment to her clients’ well- being shows in every interaction, and I continue to appreciate and use so many of the strategies she has shared with us.
