How I Can Help
Your journey is unique, and I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and guidance. Whether you’re battling anxiety, stress, or other mental health concerns, we’ll work together to craft strategies that empower you. Think of it as a roadmap to a healthier, happier you—one step at a time.
My Approach
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—a powerful, science-backed approach that blends mindfulness with real-world action. Through meaningful conversations, cognitive shifts, and tailored techniques, I help you embrace life with more confidence and flexibility. No cookie-cutter advice—just personalized, practical support designed for YOU.
My Experience & Credentials
With a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Science in Counseling from Nova Southeastern University, I’ve spent years helping individuals work through dual diagnoses, PTSD, and a range of mental health challenges. From children to adults, I’ve guided many toward healing and growth.

This isn’t just about therapy—it’s about transformation. I want to equip you with the tools to thrive, not just in our sessions, but every single day. Your well-being is my priority, and I’m ready to support you every step of the way.

“Terriee has been the support I have always looked for in a therapist. She has empowered me, challenged me, encouraged me and helped me build my tool box so I am confident in my healing. I often reflect on our sessions and content Terriee shares with me and feel she is always one step ahead of me, guiding me as I explore sobriety, trauma and loving myself. I couldn’t be more appreciative or thankful for her. Terriee is the reason I tell everyone to try the BetterHelp app! Her genuine care and direct approach has been key for me!”

“Terriee is wonderful ! She is compassionate and professional and offers excellent advice. I always leave our sessions feeling a bit lighter and clear. Thank you!”

“I have been seeing Terriee for almost 2 1/2 years. Not only does she help me get to the root of the main reason why I wanted to get therapy, she’s also been there for some pretty serious upsets in my life. She helps me to navigate these events and better understand them. I couldn’t recommend her enough and I often tell people how amazing BetterHelp has been for me.”

“Terriee has been amazing for me! I have only been with her for a few weeks, and already I can tell the difference. She is understanding, provides great tools to use in everyday life, and gets back to you quickly if needed on a bad day. I am glad that I finally got the help I have needed for a long time, and I couldn't have picked anyone better to help me on this journey.”

“I highly recommend Mrs. Smith! She responds to messages promptly and she actually cares about your well-being and offers a variety of tools to help you become a better version of yourself”

“I really like that she really listens to me”

“When I first sought help from Better Help, Terriee was "assigned" as my therapist and I could not be more pleased with her sessions. She is compassionate, thoughtful and very talented as a therapist. I was struggling with cannabis abuse and am now in remission, all due to her help. I could not recommend her more highly.”

“Terriee is a great therapist. She is understanding, kind, and will challenge when you need it. I highly recommend her to anyone.”
