Theresa Mago

About me

My faith is part of my spiritual armor and I don't leave home without it. I have seen the success of using Biblical Affirmations mixed with faith to make powerful changes in life and I have experienced the power of truth through confession, humility, forgiveness and restoration of relationships. If you are seeking a counselor who knows and believes scripture and uses prayer and the living word as a tool and a weapon, look here. I understand being led by the Holy Spirit and the now faith of Hebrews 11:1. I have a powerful testimony that proves the living God has been with me since before utero when my own mother had rejected me. I do believe that we are all called to love God and one another and that this is learned and modeled.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with 10 years of experience and almost 6 decades of life lessons, I have worked closely with all populations, including military. In addition to being in mental healthcare, I have been working in education and have worked with children, ages 3-22, with all exceptionalities, including giftedness. Prior to completing my bachelors degree in college, I was in the entertainment industry and worked as an entrepreneur for over 3 decades before attending a private bible based christian college to study missionary aviation and counseling.

I work well with children and teenagers, men and women, individuals, couples and families. I have worked with many types of issues including but not limited to; difficulties with communication, anger, depression, bipolar disorder, suicidal ideation, psychosis, anxiety, addictions, grief, shame and forgiveness, rejection and abandonment, complex trauma and PTSD, assertiveness training and boundaries, relationships and sex (alternative lifestyles included), ADHD/ ADD and Spectrum disorders, parenting support and family enrichment, replacing irrational beliefs, fears / phobias, increasing Spiritual understanding and other faith-based struggles, self-love and total acceptance, minfulness, motivation, goal setting, increase self-trust, learn better coping skills and other Skills to manage life better and be free in the now here.

I want what you want and my purpose is to give you the results you seek and facilitate the changes you desires. My approach is warm, inviting, accepting, extremely open, interactive and direct. I practice a style that is Solution-Focused and Action oriented, or Psychodynamic and Gestalt, depending on your needs and wishes. I often use Rational and Emotive Behavioral and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, Dialectical Behavioral and Acceptance Committment based therapies, Art, Play and strength-based Narrative therapies are also available, upon request.

Let me work with you and yours in taking that next step in your life journey...
Sincerely,
Theresza
