Theresa Porter
LMSW
Theresa is a compassionate and empathetic therapist whose main goal is to help people understand that they no longer have to navigate life’s challenges alone. It takes courage to reach out for help, but wonderfully challenging life changes can occur when one does seek support from a professional. She believes in a sense of synchronicity and that if clients feel drawn to speak to her, they should absolutely reach out!
Feeling heard can be a powerful tool for healing, and some people have never had someone truly listen to them. Theresa listens to her clients with an open heart and mind in the hopes that clients will feel comfortable enough to be their authentic selves. She believes that it is within this space of authenticity and acceptance that a person can finally let their walls down and heal.
Her professional experience includes the areas of pregnancy and postpartum support, trauma-informed sexual abuse recovery, spiritual exploration, hypnotherapy, and LGBTQIA-related support. She takes an integrative approach that incorporates empathic listening, mind-body awareness, and coping strategies to help individuals rebuild their inner self.
While Theresa studied Spanish Education in her initial years of college, in 2019 she obtained her Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Maryland Baltimore County. She then went on to complete her Master of Social Work at the Catholic University of America in 2021 and obtained her social work license in 2022. She is a Licensed Master Social Worker who has completed courses and training in psychodynamic theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, ethics, and social work with immigrants and refugees. She is bilingual in English and Spanish.
Theresa sees clients via Telehealth.
