Welcome! I'm Teresa.
At Phoenix Wellness, I work with clients who are seen as the "strong one" in their family and relationship—the reliable, high-achieving over-functioner who suppresses their own needs to manage everyone else's emotions and chaos. Now it's your turn to get support!
I offer both virtual and in-office appointments for clients across Missouri and Illinois. My office is located in St. Louis, MO.
From the outside, you are a high-achieving person, the one whom everyone in the family relies on to be "fine." On the inside, you feel like you are drowning in household chores, expectations, taking care of your kids, holding your partner's emotions together—and you just can't do it all. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Many of my clients come to me with a history of dysfunctional family dynamics or childhood trauma—experiences where their voices were sidelined, and their needs went unmet. In therapy, we will work on setting boundaries, communicating your needs, connecting with your feelings, and taking up more space.
I will support you in exploring your past, connecting with your emotions, communicating more effectively, and living more authentically. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, seen, and connected—both in your relationships and within yourself.
