Teresa Adkins, LPCC, LPCC — Therapist in Kentucky

Hi there, I'm Teresa!

If you're looking for ways to make your life easier or to learn more about yourself, I would like to help. My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing on various models to tailor interventions to your individual concerns, primarily utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

My focus

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I am comfortable treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral issues. My current focus is on supporting young adults and adults, particularly those navigating the challenges of independence and mental health.

My approach

I employ a range of theoretical approaches, with a strong emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe CBT equips you with valuable information and helps you develop coping skills to address current and future challenges. I also incorporate techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma Therapies, and Person-centered Therapy.

My communication style

In my sessions, I strive to create a welcoming, empathetic, and supportive environment. My communication style is kind and attentive, aiming to make you feel comfortable and understood. I believe in building strong, trust-based relationships where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist started later in life, but it has always been my passion. My career has spanned roles in counseling children, conducting evaluations, and supervising various programs. I am driven by a deep commitment to helping others achieve greater independence and well-being.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting collaboratively, working with you to identify your objectives and developing a clear plan to achieve them. This involves understanding your specific needs and providing you with practical tools and strategies to progress toward your goals. I may also include testing and assessments to get a more comprehensive plan.

Our first session

During our initial session, we will discuss your concerns, and I may inquire about previous issues to gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges you're facing. The goal is to assess whether I am suitable to assist with these concerns. I aim to build trust immediately and provide assistance or information to support you.
