Feeling stressed, or worried, like things aren't making a lot of sense? You are not alone. In difficult times it can be hard to see a path forward. It is there, though and we can help you find it. Your life can be more what you hope for, not worry about. The past doesn't have to control the present much less the future. Taking a wrong turn, making mistakes, having things go wrong, and needing healing is just part of the cost of living, part of being human. So is forgiveness, self care and freeing ourselves of the past. We can't change what's happened. But we can start where you are, improve the present and make the future bright.

In the famous words of Eric Matthews, (BMW) “Hey bro, life’s tough, get a helmet!” If only it were that easy, right!? This statement from my old sitcom obsession hit deep the first time I heard it, but has really engraved itself deeper the older, more experienced with life I have gotten. I’ve learned very quickly and/or the hard way that walking around with a helmet on wouldn’t make much of a difference at all and would probably just add to the stressors and hardships of life. Today’s world is different. Today’s world is hard. Today’s world can be scary. But most importantly, you don’t have to go through today’s world alone.

We are all individuals and experience life in a unique way. I approach therapy with the belief that my clients are capable people who may need help to understand or perceive their difficulties in a different way. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting and grief. I also work with people who are experiencing changes in their life such as divorce, retirement and health problems or had a major trauma. In addition, I work with people who have severe and persistent mental illness. Thank you for stopping at Terry's Tools For Living

You've been running on empty: anxious, exhaustd, depleted, and trying to hold it all together. You're the strong one - the helper, the emotional anchor, the high achiever - but your body is showing the cracks. Your hormones feel chaotic. You can't relax. The gut, sleep, and mood are all over the place, you've tried talk therapy before, but it didn't go deep enough, because your stress isn't only in your mind - it's in your body.

I work with clients who struggle with mental health and/or substance use concerns. I believe dealing with life problems involves building up one's "foundation," and gaining healthier alternatives to work through day-to-day challenges. Open-mindedness and willingness are key, and I can aid in strengthening that foundation.

Unfortunately, painful events in life are inevitable. The good thing is that suffering from these events can be optional. Helping people to build or rebuild a life with a new "normal" through these difficult times is something I have enjoyed doing for almost 25 years. I have had the privilege of working with people by addressing a variety of issues including substance abuse and other addictions, co-occurring disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationships, divorce, unresolved grief, co-dependency, and anger management to name a few. Together, we can restore the peace, serenity and confidence back in your life.

Hello! I'm Teresa Freeling. With over 20+ years of experience in the mental health field, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through life's challenges. I am licensed as an Independent Clinical Social Worker. I have spent most of my career working directly in my clients' homes with them and their families. In 2020, I moved to telehealth services, which still provide that at-home comfort. My therapeutic approach focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In order to change what we do; we need to figure out why we do it.

The first thing that anyone says when describing me is, “Alyssa loves her work!”. I’m not only good at providing my clients with a listening ear in times of need and skills to better help them navigate these challenges, but I also really enjoy doing it. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, to feel that their struggles and challenges are valid and to know that they are not alone. During my time working in the mental health field, I’ve gained valuable skills in communication, understanding, and patience that I bring to every session.

I love the concept of developing "grit". Learning how to overcome the obstacles and emotions that stand in our way. Let me help you deal with the inevitable anxiety and frustrations we face and develop the skills that help you deal with them. Perseverance, flexibility and adaptability gets us farther than intelligence, skill and luck ever will or ever have. If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired...I can help. Some days we need a cheerleader with pom poms; some days, we may need a "kick in the butt" or a nudge. All days we want to feel understood, accepted and validated. I am known as being both direct and kind.

I primarily have experience working with individual adults as they navigate the long-term consequences of anxiety and perfectionism. Often I find myself working with individuals whose symptoms manifest in disordered eating, OCD, anxiety disorders, and relationship difficulties. I celebrate when my clients finally start living a life that feels authentic. I'm deeply convinced that each person needs to be treated as a whole person- physically, emotionally, and spiritually- to experience healing and fully integrated living. I love to incorporate the Christian faith in my treatment planning IF that is a desired value for therapy.

Life can feel overwhelming—especially when you're carrying the weight of past trauma, chronic stress, or difficult transitions. My clients often feel stuck, burned out, or emotionally dysregulated. Many are managing invisible wounds from childhood or medical trauma, or struggling to find balance in demanding careers and relationships. They seek clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of agency. You may not know where to begin, but you know it’s time to feel like yourself again—or maybe for the first time.

Life is a journey. How often have you heard that? As we find our road through life, we all need inspiration and guidance. Having an outside perspective to navigate that journey can help us view our path through a different lens. It is my goal as your therapist to create a safe, supportive, and accepting environment for you to share your story. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for therapy. Whether it's learning coping skills, practicing mindfulness, or just having someone to talk to, I get it. Life isn't easy and you don't have to tackle this journey alone.
