Teri-Lee Hedman, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Teri-Lee!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I take a holistic approach to healing, and I would love to partner with you on your journey.

My focus

I support folks navigating trauma and addiction. Whether or not you have a substance addiction, we all have something to recover from. In this process, you can discover and reclaim your true self and reorient to living a thriving life. I also support women, especially in the postpartum period and other transitions.

My approach

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and a Jungian orientation, integrating expressive arts, mindfulness, body-based awareness, and nature-based cycles. This builds your toolkit and ensures you have the skills to navigate healing on your path.

My communication style

I value warmth and authenticity. I hold an open, curious, and non-judgmental stance with compassion and the right use of humor. I strive to be honest and straightforward, which may mean saying things that are hard to hear. I don't pretend to have all the answers. I'd like to support you in finding that wisdom inside yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have walked my path of healing and am driven to support others in finding the same liberation it provides. I believe that our struggles and our gifts are two sides to the same coin. The more lead we have, the more gold is possible to alchemize.

My goals for you

We will identify what matters most to you and how our work together can support moving closer to that, even if it is at a snail's pace. I like to focus on valued areas of your life and build goals from there.

Our first session

I believe that our struggles and our gifts are two sides to the same coin. The more “lead” we have, the more “gold” is possible to alchemize. I have walked my path of healing and am driven to support others in finding the same liberation it provides.
