Theresa has been absolutely wonderful for my children and myself through extraordinarily difficult circumstances. My teen children are so comfortable with her, they don’t hesitate to reach out if they feel an additional appointment is necessary. She has helped me as a teacher going through CoVID and an ugly divorce. I highly recommend her services.

I would like to second Katie's review here. This place is absolutely rude and very unprofessional. My social worker tried referring me and my fiancee to this wretched place, and when I called I was made to feel as though my business wasn't welcomed even with his insurance. Out of pocket costs is just insanely rediculous. So I told my social worker this, and she called them, in Wich Theresa answered the phone. My social worker explained the situation and wanted to clarify the cost for couples counseling and explained she was on speaker phone. Well that didn't seem to bother her any! She was very

I sought out a professional counselor to help me cope with a toxic work situation. I felt very comfortable confiding my work related concerns to Theresa of Family Matters Counseling, LLC. She was professional and an excellent listener.

I had been a client of Teresa's for many years and she helped me work through many didficult situations. Whenever I needed her she was able to find a time we could meet. It was difficult for me to find a new counselor that could compare to her when I moved! If I hadn't relocated, I would never have left her practice.

We used her text option to reach out for counseling info and she responded back wanting insurance info before agreeing to help or even knowing all the details of our situation. I gave her both insurance policies that we have and she said she didn’t take either and that neither insurance company would pay for the type of counseling we were looking for so she couldn’t help me. I verified with our insurance companies that we had appropriate coverage for what type of counseling we were seeking and asked her why, if she didn’t accept our insurance she couldn’t see us if we just paid out of pocket

I have been a client for years and I can say Theresa helped me deal with alot of things head on. It was hard and lots of work, so if you want someone to pacify and just listen to you complain, she is not for you, but if you are ready to get real with yourself to overcome and gain tools to handle any situation, I would definitely recommend Theresa.
