Teresa Adams

Teresa Adams is a marriage and family therapist who focuses on relationships, family dynamics, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, anger management, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She approaches therapy with a blend of clinical training and personal experience, aiming to help families and couples restore calm and manage the challenges that strain relationships.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in Food and Nutrition from Mississippi University for Women and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Reformed Theological Seminary. Teresa is a licensed professional counselor in Mississippi, holding LPC license number 1529. She also holds several relationship-focused certifications, including Gottman I certification, Prepare/Enrich assessment certification, and SYMBIS assessment certification, and has pursued continuing education in topics such as anxiety, depression, stress, conflict, communication, and sexual issues.

As a Christian counselor with Biblical training, Teresa integrates faith-informed perspectives when appropriate for those who seek that approach. She has coauthored a marriage manual titled Marriage: What To Do Before and After You Say, "I Do" and draws on both clinical tools and faith-based principles to help reduce anxiety, depression, and stress within relationships and families so daily life becomes more manageable and peaceful.

With 16 years of professional experience, Teresa brings perspective from a long marriage and family life—she has been married for 38 years and raised four children. She describes her style as caring, compassionate, and warm, and she is willing to ask the hard questions that help people move through difficult times. Teresa emphasizes nonjudgmental support and practical guidance to help clients find healthier, more stable family and relationship patterns.
