Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Gettysburg, PA

It is a privilege to be an Outpatient Therapist. My clients are the BEST teachers. I would like to teach my clients to be their own therapists and/or to re-parent their parts to function in this world at their highest ability. I completely and thoroughly appreciate and am grateful for every moment even the not so good ones (usually the lesson we need to learn). I want to help my clients learn happiness comes from within, happiness is their responsibility and we ALL deserve to be happy and to feel loved and accepted. The journey is the challenge and turning challenges into opportunities is the goal.

Choosing the right counselor can be very difficult. Feeling weighed down, frustrated, and not able to move past difficult memories can make a person feel chained to the past. It is important that your concerns are heard, validated, and that your pain is relieved by healing the wounds. Unlike talk therapy, memories can be resolved without talking about them. EMDR and IFS are two evidenced based ways to permanently heal people who have trauma. This is my specialty. In addition, I am offering EMDR intensive therapy for people who desire to resolve the past pain more quickly and effectively. This option is private pay, only.

My goal is to be by your side as you make the transitions that lead you to experience an authentic expression of expansiveness and discover what your fullest and most liberating life looks and feels like. We will co-create a safe and comfortable space where you can show up as you are, whatever that means for you on any given day. The space we cultivate together will be one in which you can relax, share, question, learn, and get to know yourself better. When we work together, you don’t have to be anything— you can just be.

I love working with teens, college students, young adults, and adults experiencing concerns related to abuse, anger, anxiety, bullying, depression, divorce, family stressors, grief, life transitions, living losses, loneliness, parental addiction, perfectionism, relationships, self-esteem, sexual abuse, and school stressors. My clients tell me I am compassionate, hopeful, committed, accepting, and very patient. I work extensively with clients from diverse cultures and identities and am committed to fostering an open and inclusive therapy practice. I have significant experience supporting clients with complex trauma histories.

Hi! My name is Tessa, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with around 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I currently offer telehealth sessions to ages pre-adolescent through adult. Although my main focus areas are trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, boundary and relationship issues and life transitions, I have experience working with a variety of other issues as well.

When you are doing your best and you are struggling to keep up with your expectations; or when you are just not quite meeting others' expectations regardless of how hard you work, maybe it's time to explore if talking or at least sharing space with someone professional could help. Maybe a part of you doesn't feel okay with the changes or plans that are happening. There is room for that here. I have daytime availability for new people at this time.

Although I am trained as a generalist provider who can treat a wide range of concerns across the lifespan, I specialize in helping to manage and reduce anxiety, stress, poor sleep, and difficulty adjusting to the demands of work, school, or other social situations. I look forward to meeting with you and working together to alleviate discomfort and create a plan for change that fits your individual needs.
