Tera O’Connor
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
About Tera
As a licensed therapist in Tennessee, I bring over two decades of experience supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges.
My practice specializes in helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, career transitions, and major life changes.
I focus on empowering individuals through various life stages, from workplace dynamics to pregnancy, childbirth, and midlife transitions. My approach centers on helping clients strengthen self-worth, improve communication, and reconnect with a deeper sense of purpose.
I’m especially drawn to supporting individuals navigating relationship stress, major life transitions, and the emotional demands of caring deeply for others while trying not to lose themselves in the process.
My therapeutic style is compassionate and collaborative, designed to help you build resilience, gain clarity, and create meaningful personal growth. I believe each person has unique strengths and the capacity to move through challenges with support, insight, and intention. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies that support your emotional well-being and help you move toward a more grounded, fulfilling life.

What clients say
- “Tera is the most professional and knowledgeable therapist I have ever worked with. She allows me space to discuss what I need and supports me through everything. She frequently checks in off the clock to make sure I know she’s there for whatever I may need. I appreciate her so much!”
- “Very understanding, patient, and isn't afraid to stop you when you need to be stopped. She saved me during a time when I needed saving. She's someone who encourages and guides rather than tells you what to do. She's a very good therapist! I'm looking forward to seeing how much more I grow with her as my therapist.”
- “Tera is my blessing. Due to scheduling and insurance issues, i went through a few therapists before getting to Tera. I fully believe i am exactly where i need to be with her in order to heal.”
