Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn next? Maybe anxiety is taking over, depression is weighing you down, relationships feel strained, or you’re navigating a major life transition. Perhaps you’ve experienced trauma, recent or from childhood, and it’s still shaping how you move through the world. These experiences can leave you feeling isolated or exhausted from trying to manage everything alone. Yet, you don’t have to carry it by yourself. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to heal

Mental health therapy is a powerful space where understanding, healing and growth can truly take root. I believe that every person carries their own story, strengths and inner wisdom- sometimes all that’s needed is a safe, supportive place to explore them. In our work together, you’ll have the opportunity to slow down, reflect and connect more deeply with who you are and who you want to become.

I am Teresa Horton, LCSW, Columbia University graduate. I discovered the field of social through my sister's chronic illness as a child. The hospital social worker who worked with my sister and family opened my eyes to the compassion that is needed in caring for and connecting to families undergoing unanticipated difficulties. As a child, I knew I wanted to help others with processing difficult life experiences.

I practice psychotherapy from a relational lens; I believe meaningful change happens within a genuine, engaged relationship. I show up as myself in sessions: attentive, authentic, and human—because therapy doesn’t need to feel overly formal to be effective. There’s room here for both laughter and tears, and often they show up in the same session!

I believe there is strength to be found in our weaknesses, love to be found through our pain, and light after our darkest days. The pain of healing comes with the self-awareness that otherwise may be over looked. When it becomes more painful to stay in our past then it is scary to step out of it is when the journey begins. I walk beside my clients, not in-front or behind. I remain steady and follow their lead. I provide the safety and hope that everyone needs to face their pain, to feel their pain, and to keep going anyway.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
