My name is Teresa Kirkpatrick and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I have a total of 18 years of experience in the Social Services and Mental Health sector. I really enjoy helping people heal, learn, and grow. I use CBT, family systems, with psychoanalytic aspects to assist my clients in their journey. I find that it benefits most people to identify the root cause(s) of their problems, and I support them as they courageously face underlying tensions that contribute to their distress. I have experience working with the clinical population of adults and youth that struggle with depression, anxiety, Bipolar D/O, trauma, the homeless population, family and marital issues, burn-out, serving domestic and sexual violence victims and their families, serving as an advocate in judicial hearings, and serving in psychiatric emergent care as an intake assessor and clinician for a psychiatric hospital. I count it an honor and privilege to be invited into someone’s life, even if for a short period of time to assist them in their pursuit of wellness and peace.
