Hi there, I'm Teresamaria Zavala, but prefer to be called Teresa. I am a licensed clinical social worker, I like to say as a therapist "I want to work myself out of a job," I am a huge believer that therapy has its place in a person's life but ultimately has an end date. My goal is to get you to the point you can continue on in your life with new skills and hope. I have a specialized interest in gender-specific therapy, people struggling with addiction, transitional-aged youth, and the needs of LGBTQIA+ community.
I have experience with working with people across the age spectrum from infancy to advanced adulthood. I especially love to work with people in transitional phases of life, including teenagers, young adults, adults and advanced-aged individuals. I have treated people diagnosed with personality disorders, depression, psychosis, and developmental challenges.
Working with the client to set the goals they feel are most relevant and important.

Safety is the number one priority, including physical and emotional safety. I try to be as transparent as possible, instructive at times when introducing new concepts or material, and truly believe that to best serve a client, there is some trial and learning that we will go through together as treatment is established.
