“People simply become caught in narrow dysfunctional patterns that evolve for many “good” reasons, and then are hard to change.” – Susan M. Johnson
Terresha’s professional focus revolves around the intricate dynamics of relationships. She knows that relationships can be tough and a source of pain, but they are also where we can find real growth and happiness. Whether she is working with little kids, teenagers, couples, or individuals, Terresha aims to facilitate discovery of one’s authentic self within the context of interpersonal connections.
Specializing in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), allows Terresha to help children between the ages of 2-7 with emotional and behavioral challenges. PCIT merges play therapy and behavioral techniques while actively involving parents in the therapeutic process. By strengthening the parent-child bond and enhancing communication, Terresha empowers parents with effective strategies to transform their child’s behavior. Additionally, she employs the adapted model of PCIT for older children aged 8-10, incorporating parent management training skills to tackle the unique needs of older children.
Terresha received her Master of Social Work and a Bachelor of Social Work from Georgia State University. Her professional background spans from developing comprehensive case plans for children in foster care to developing programs to support women experiencing homelessness.
Beyond her counseling endeavors, Terresha finds joy in the simple pleasures of life, cherishing moments spent with her husband of 18 years, enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and biking, and savoring a cup of excellent coffee. Through her multifaceted experiences, Terresha embodies relatability and empathy, striving to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those she encounters.
