About me

Hi, my name is Teresa Adams and I am passionate about marriage, family, relationships and the problems surrounding them. I am a graduate from Mississippi University for Women, with a B.S. in Food and Nutrition and a M.A. from Reformed Theological Seminary in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have been in the relationship field for over 20 years and have been a professional in the field for 10 years. I am Gottman I Certified, Prepare/Enrich Assessment Certified and SYMBIS Assessment Certified as well. I have been through me continuing education trainings in anxiety, depression, stress, conflict, communication, sexual issues and many more. In addition, my husband and I have written a marriage manual/book entitled Marriage: What To Do Before and After You Say, "I Do". When anxiety, depression and stress comes into the relationship/family, a feeling of uncertainty and hopeless erodes the mind. I want to help you eliminate the anxiety, depression, and stress in your relationship/family so life is manageable and peaceful. As a Christian counselor, with Biblical training, the answer to your problem is within your grasp.

I have been married for 38 years and have raised four children. I believe the family is the fabric of your society and without the family our society is in deep trouble. Many issues have come to me and I am not afraid to ask the hard questions to help you through a difficult time. As a wife, mother, and counselor, I am caring, compassionate and warm in my delivery to my client. I am not judgmental and nothing surprises me. I can help!!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Teresa Adams. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Teresa is extremely knowledgeable, approachable and while she’s understanding of my personal struggles (while providing coping mechanisms) she also holds me accountable. A therapist who can show you how to change your behavior, admit a deeper understanding of where you are making poor decisions around communication, thought processes, and handling various situations feels rare. Accountability for how you react and manage is just as important and understanding how to remove yourself from a situation where someone else is causing you harm and I am grateful for learning myself through her.

Teresa is a warm, welcoming and professional therapist. I'm so glad that I've had her as my counselor, for the 2cyrs and been part of my healing journey. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone else who is seeking counseling support. Thankyou
