Teresa Robertson is a licensed counselor practicing in Florida who brings a long history of work in both community mental health settings and private practice. She has been in private practice since 2014, first serving clients in Illinois and now working with people in Florida. Before moving into private practice she spent more than 18 years providing a range of counseling services in community mental health and social service settings, working with diverse populations.

She earned a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 1999 and later completed additional graduate coursework in human sexuality, grief and loss, and trauma counseling. Her training includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Clinical Trauma Professional certification, Psychological First Aid, and FEMA community preparedness training. Teresa has extensively studied trauma-informed treatment and applies those principles in her clinical work.

Teresa holds the credentials LMHC and LCPC - LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and LCPC stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. She has worked with individuals facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and stress-related concerns, and has supported clients dealing with parenting challenges, divorce and separation, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, social and peer problems including bullying, life transitions, and women’s concerns. Her experience also includes helping people manage work, school, and family stress.

Her approach is integrative, drawing from psychodynamic theory, client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and an understanding of how the brain responds to stress and trauma. Teresa adapts therapeutic methods to fit each person’s unique personality, preferences, and cultural context, and she works collaboratively with clients throughout treatment. Her practice emphasizes integrity and trust, with the goal of helping people develop insight, self-acceptance, and the skills needed to thrive and find fulfillment in life.
