Theresa Gachuna, LICSW

Theresa Gachuna works with people who are coping with loss, life transitions, and difficult emotions such as anxiety and depression. She also supports those struggling with addictive or unhealthy behaviors and helps them identify patterns that interfere with wellbeing. While many assume grief only follows the death of a loved one, Theresa recognizes that loss shows up in many forms - loss of self, changing roles, the end of relationships, chronic illness, and other life changes that can prompt questions about identity and reopen old wounds.

Theresa has been in the helping field since 1996 and obtained her LICSW in 2008. LICSW stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, a credential indicating advanced training and clinical experience in social work. Over the years she has worked with people in multiple settings and from diverse backgrounds, which informs her ability to view situations from different perspectives. She draws from a range of therapeutic approaches and adapts her methods to fit each person’s needs.

Theresa focuses on helping individuals clarify their needs and goals, gain insight into unhelpful patterns, and take steps toward meaningful change. Her work aims to support changes in unwanted behaviors and to improve how people relate to themselves and others, fostering greater self-understanding and practical coping strategies.
