I feel that Therapist Teretha Lewis helped me with recognizing how to set boundaries! I feel enthusiastic with using the new skills I learned! I’m looking forward to continuing my session with Teretha Lewis because she helps me understand that I do matter!

Where I live, we have very few options if you rely on the medical card. I have never had consistent therapy- and every therapist I have had has come from one local agency; and has been a rotating door of temporary practitioners soon to move on to private practice. Many were both overbooked and also unqualified for the extension of my trauma. It’s also impossible to make progress when you see your counselor once every 3 months.
Teretha and I have only had 3 sessions, but we have covered more ground than I ever have in therapy before already. She is very methodical, a great listener, and is reassuring of all this by asking thought-provoking questions that challenge me to dig deeper into the conversations we have. I am optimistic for the first time about the theraputic process and Teretha has reassured me that she is supportive and optimistic, too.
