Get to Know Theresa (she/her)

I specialize in working with adults that struggle with issues at the intersection of eating behaviors, body image, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, size diversity, and life stressors. I believe all bodies deserve dignity, respect and care. My passion is helping people of all body sizes and identities learn to regain trust in oneself and make peace with food.

My therapeutic approach is informed by Health at Every Size ® and centered around utilizing my training as a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I provide support in working with the 10 principles of Intuitive Eating to find personalized ways to bring balance to thinking, eating, and behaviors by finding compassion and trust in oneself.
In my trauma work, I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to facilitate relief from the traumatic experiences and limiting beliefs that keep one stuck in cycles of pain and dysfunction. I incorporate IFS-informed strategies and expressive arts therapy, such as Written Exposure Therapy (WET), to meet clients’ needs.
I believe that the client is the expert of their own experience and in supporting each individual in building a unique skill set to allow them to reach their therapeutic goals. I draw from extensive training in skill based and experiential modalities including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), CBT, Gottman Method Couples Counseling (Level 2), and Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E). My work is infused with creative mindfulness practices developed through years of working in somatic and expressive arts from Dancing Mindfulness and The Trager® Approach to Movement Education

An Ohio native, I received my BA in Sociology from The Ohio State University and my Master of Science Education (MSEd) in Community Counseling from the University of Dayton. I am an independently licensed counselor in the states of Ohio (LPCC-S), Michigan (LPC), and hold telehealth privileges in Florida. I am board certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NCC & CCMHC), EMDR certified, and a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.

I have been an Outpatient Therapist at EBHA since 2019, where I have worked with individuals, groups and couples. I lead Beginner’s Intuitive Eating and Advanced Intuitive Eating virtual groups.
I completed my clinical fellowship and delivered evidence-based treatment for adults with eating disorders, mood disorders and personality disorders at The Center for Balanced Living in Columbus, OH. While at The Center, I worked in the Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Programs, facilitated DBT Skills Training Groups, and presented training on Binge Eating Disorders for families and professionals, both locally and nationally. I also served as Director of Support Groups in which I trained and supervised volunteer facilitators.
