More about Terrence

  • 25 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois, with 25 years of professional work experience. I have worked in Chicago as a therapist providing individual, couples and and family counseling. As a native Chicagoan, I truly understand how the hustle and bustle of urban living can impact one's life. I strive to be the best me that I can be, and to live a life filled with peace, joy and prosperity.

I incorporate this in my practice utilizing a strength based approach that includes solution focused therapy.

I am a graduate of the University of Iowa with a Bachelor's of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication and a Master's in Social Work.

I have experience working with clients experiencing relationship issues, lgbtq+ related issues, trauma, abuse, motivation, self esteem, & confidence.

I strive to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
