About Teresa Adams

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!!

“She helped me so much, this was my first time in therapy and it was a great experience.”

“I’m very happy with Teresa. Her insight is fantastic and her tools are great. She has provided with with much help so far.”

“I am very happy with the service that Teresa Adams provides. <br /> As I am new on this journey to wellness, I feel comfortable expressing my feelings in a way I have never done before.<br /> She gets down to business every session and makes sound recommendations on ways for me to cope with my emotions and feelings.<br /> I would recommend her to anyone in need of therapy.”

“A Truly Caring and Attentive Christian-Focused Therapist<br /> <br /> I have been seeing Teresa for therapy, and I can honestly say she is one of the best therapists I’ve ever had. From the very first session, it was clear that she truly listens and is fully present. She has a unique ability to make you feel understood and valued, which is so important when you’re opening up about personal struggles.<br /> <br /> What really sets Teresa apart is her Christian-centered approach. She seamlessly incorporates faith into her guidance, offering wisdom and support that aligns with my beliefs. She doesn’t push any agenda but instead creates a space where I can grow spiritually while navigating through life’s challenges. Her empathy and kindness are evident in every conversation, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about her clients’ well-being.<br /> <br /> If you’re looking for someone who combines professional therapy with a faith-based perspective, Teresa is the person you need. I always leave my sessions feeling heard, encouraged, and more at peace with myself and my journey.”

“Teresa is thoughtful, respectable and kind while being direct and to the point . I appreciate her ability to ask good questions and lead me to find the answers myself. She met me in my faith which was important to me. I am thankful for the insight and objectivity she provided for me in this season.”

“Teresa Adams represents the importance of professional therapy in an online setting.”

“I have tried to work with multiple therapists in the past and Teresa is the first one I truly feel most comfortable with. She is extremely empathetic and has keen insight into things discussed, and asks excellent questions that help me learn and discover new things about myself and what I need to process things. She has a very calming manner and a perfect balance of listening and giving advice. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Teresa!”

“Wise counsel, good listener, attentive to details shared and gives room to pour out. <br /> Highly recommend”

“Teresa is wonderful! Very knowledgeable, thorough, and fair. We have been seeing her for marriage counseling and she has helped us grow and realize issues that we had that we hadn’t even identified and that they had been adding to the stress of our relationship. Our relationship is in a much better place than when we started!”

“A good listener, sound counsel. Makes you feel heard and seen. Meets you where you are, but doesn't just tell you what you want to hear. Direct and to the point, I like that.”

“Great listener. She speaks life into you. Awesome woman!”

“Teresa Adams is a wonderful therapist. She gets to the root of the problem and suggests ways to better deal with them. <br /> I have seen great improvement in how I react to certain situations and cope with stress.”

“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.”
