I have been AACAST certified for 8 years and continue to update my training and consultation to the most recent best practices in the field.

 I work with individuals ages 14 and up, couples, and families. I help couples find a way to easier and effortless communication, while getting out of old hurtful patterns that aren’t good for either one. Experienced working with parents and children, relationships can also be fraught with ineffective patterns, including families experiencing estrangements.

I also work with clients with chronic illnesses and the accompanying difficulties. I support individuals and couples through difficult life transitions and journeys. I have a Masters in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University, and a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University.  My practice is both online and in person if needed. I can be contacted by phone, through my website, and my Facebook page at Therapy with Terri. I'd like the opportunity to make your life and relationships better.
