Teresa serves as a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) at Durham Psychology Group. She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health and is pursuing a Master of Science in Forensic Psychology. She is a proud member of the International Honor Society, proving her high standards in the profession. With a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Troy University, she has dual minors in substance abuse and addiction, as well as Social Science. Outside of her professional life, Teresa loves to spend quality moments with her family and engage in church events that provide her solace. Celebrating 30 years of marriage, she and her husband cherish their three adult children and two daughters-in-law, who enrich their lives. As a military spouse for over a decade, her eldest son is a veteran, and her younger son continues to serve actively. Having faced her own family’s trauma, Teresa is dedicated to assisting others through similar trials. She targets her efforts on guiding younger people, from early childhood through young adulthood. Acknowledging everyone’s individuality has allowed her to adopt various therapeutic techniques, such as EMDR, Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, and more. After completing EMDR training, she is on her path to certification in this technique. Under the guidance of Donald Durham, Ph.D., who is an accredited Clinical Supervisor recognized by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners, Teresa will operate from the Gilbert office, offering both in-person and virtual counseling sessions.
