Teressa Thurwanger
MS, LMFT | Psychotherapy-Trauma-informed therapy and EMDR, and A.R.T. (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) for individuals, couples, and families
Teressa is a trauma-informed, collaborative therapist who practices a holistic approach. She works with individuals 21+, couples, and non-traditional relationship structures. (ethical non-monogamy polyamory, etc.) “Watching people show up, work hard, and reap the amazing benefits in their life from their practices of courage and vulnerability gives me life.”
Teressa graduated with two undergraduate degrees in Criminal Justice and Elementary Education from Evangel University in 1997, pursuing law enforcement as her first career for several years. Next up was staying home with her baby boy (who’s a grown man in the United States Navy now!), then working as a private investigator for the Missouri State Board of Nursing and the Missouri Real Estate Commission.
After beginning her own self-work with a therapist and a few years later navigating her divorce with intention, mindfulness, and kindness, Teressa decided she wanted to go back to school. She wanted to learn how to use all of her experiences to help others in the way she herself had been helped—with clinical skill and unconditional positive regard.
She attended the Friends University Marriage and Family Therapy Program and received a Master of Science with honors in 2017. She is fully licensed in the states of Kansas and Missouri.
Teressa is both incredibly warm and unapologetically bold, holding every gritty thing you might bring to a session with compassion and an utter lack of judgment.
She looks forward to meeting you!
Teressa is Private Pay and does provide Superbills on request. She also accepts HSA/FSA cards.
