14 years offering treatment
Hi, I am Theresa Presley and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri and Kansas. I have been practicing social work for 14 years. I have worked in a variety of settings to include inpatient/outpatient mental health, domestic violence and private practice. I work with a variety of ages and various populations. Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, and the challenges of parenting. I work with a Strength-based theory using elements of Cognitive Behavioral Theory. I try to build a strong, trusting relationship with each client and help them understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings and actions. The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be caring, warm, empathetic, nonjudgmental and a good listener. Life can sometimes be tough; sometimes, we have to ask for help. I understand that this is hard; but together we will focus on your strengths to get you through this difficult time and come out even stronger.

I'm an individual and couples' therapist licensed in Illinois with over 26 years experience in providing superior counseling services. My areas of expertise include relationship issues, couples' counseling, women's relationship with food and their bodies, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, major life transitions, living with chronic or terminal illness, stress management and exploring the mood/food connection. Clients often tell me I'm very "different from other therapists" they've seen. I give feedback when appropriate and ask you to do the same. That will help me further tailor your treatment plan to specific issues of concern. My supportive, compassionate approach allows for a safe. nonjudgemental atmosphere where learning to manage and overcome problems becomes easier as I earn your trust through our work together. Originally from Brooklyn, NY I ventured to the Midwest to attend Washington University in St. Louis where I earned my bachelors degree in psychology.
