Welcome! I'm Teresa.
At Phoenix Wellness, I support women in their late 20s to 40s who are exhausted from trying to hold everything together. If you are the "reliable one" who constantly hides your own feelings to take care of everyone else's chaos, you are in the right place. Together, we’ll work on setting healthy boundaries, rebuilding your self-trust, and helping you reclaim your own life. It’s your turn to get the support you deserve.
I offer both virtual and in-office appointments for clients across Missouri and Illinois. My office is located in St. Louis, MO.
Therapy for women who carry it all, but feel entirely unseen.
Therapy for:
Eldest Daughters · Chronic Family Fixers · Burned Out Moms
Family Scapegoats · Women Leaving Dysfunctional Relationships
You are the emotional anchor for everyone around you—the one who is seen as always "fine," always reliable, and always expected to hold it together.
Early on, you likely learned that the people in your life couldn’t handle you having a bad day.
Now, you're an expert at:
being chronically "fine."
The one everyone relies on, so you feel you have to hide your true needs and feelings.
What we will work on together:
We won’t just talk about your stress and overwhelm; we will challenge the old patterns that cause it.
Release the Guilt: Learn how to say "no" and set boundaries without feeling like you've failed.
Reclaim Your Voice: Practice speaking up for what you actually want and need.
Rediscover Yourself: Figure out who you are when you aren't carrying the weight of everyone else's needs.
You have spent your entire life making sure everyone else is taken care of; it is finally time to focus on you.
If you are non-binary, a trans woman, or someone who is gender diverse, you are welcome here!
