Teresa Robertson is a licensed mental health professional who combines extensive clinical training with years of hands-on experience to support individuals and families through difficult transitions and persistent emotional challenges. She holds the credentials LMHC and LCPC, which stand for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and she is licensed to practice in both Florida and Illinois. Teresa earned a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 1999 and has pursued additional graduate coursework in human sexuality, grief and loss, and trauma counseling to deepen her clinical skill set.

Since 2014 she has maintained a private practice, first in Illinois and now in Florida, and she previously worked in community mental health and social service settings for many years. Her training includes specialized work in trauma treatment such as EMDR, Clinical Trauma Professional certification, Psychological First Aid, and FEMA community preparedness, which inform her trauma-aware approach to care. Teresa regularly supports clients dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and stress-related concerns, as well as challenges related to parenting, divorce, grief, self-esteem, relationships, bullying, life transitions, women’s issues, and work or school pressures.

Teresa uses an integrative treatment style that draws on psychodynamic ideas, client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies, along with an understanding of how the brain responds to stress and trauma. She adapts techniques to each client’s unique personality, cultural context, and goals, working collaboratively and inviting client input throughout the therapeutic process. Her practice emphasizes integrity, trust, and helping people gain insight, self-acceptance, and practical skills to thrive in their lives.
