Teresa Adcock

Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming when life seems chaotic or you are in crisis. Teresa Adcock encourages people to take that first step, noting that contacting a therapist often becomes easier once it is begun. She prioritizes listening and making each person feel heard and seen.

Teresa adapts her approach to meet each individual’s needs, drawing primarily from solution-focused methods, strengths-based perspectives, and cognitive behavioral techniques to help address present concerns and process past experiences. She aims to support clients in problem solving and developing practical strategies, and reports positive outcomes with these approaches.

She strives to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where clients can set and work toward goals that increase confidence, motivation, and self-awareness. Teresa has 15 years of clinical experience working in hospitals, outpatient clinics, community teams providing in-home therapy, and private practice. Her experience includes supporting people with relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, autism, trauma and abuse, PTSD, eating disorders, grief and loss, parenting challenges, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, anger management, self-esteem concerns, and career difficulties, as well as navigating medical changes.

Teresa holds a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin and is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who is also qualified to supervise other clinicians. She pursued advanced clinical training to ensure high-quality therapeutic care for her clients.

In terms of availability, Teresa checks and responds to messages at least twice daily, seven days a week.
