Welcome!
Your landing here is on purpose and probably brings you incredible relief!
During our lifetime, we have experiences that may cause us to unravel or become distracted from the course of life. I strive to establish a relationship where we can begin the journey to peace. "Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It just means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart"-Author Unknown The goal is to feel whole, safe with a positive self-perception.
I have 20 years experience working in various settings (i.e. outpatient centers, communities, schools, correctional centers and collaborating with hospitals). I've been provided the opportunity to support teens, adults, and families who overcame a wide range of challenges and symptoms in both individual and group sessions. I have studied and trained in Reality-based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and certified in Grief Therapy.
Im looking forward to meeting you. Let the journey begin!

Terri McCoy has been wonderful for my mental health! She’s a wonderful listener and helps me set small digestible goals to help me make improvements in my life. I’m comfortable talking to her about what’s going on in my life and trust her judgement and training when it comes to taking those steps in my life to become a better version of myself.

Terri is an amazing therapist. She’s professional yet still warm, welcoming, and super attentive which makes me feel comfortable in confiding in her. I’ve learned so much about myself in the couple months I’ve worked with her and each session feels like another breakthrough. From someone who’s struggled with childhood trauma, family abuse, and growing up with alcoholics/substance abusers, I’m grateful to have cross paths with Terri.

Terri has been a major help for what I am going through right now. She lets me speak my mind on what I need to and she guides me in the best way she can. She makes me feel strong and let’s me know I am capable of making the right choices and that I am doing the right thing. Sometimes it’s just good to hear it from a third party that can guide you the way you need to be guided. I’d recommend her to anyone.
