Meet Terri Eddy, LCSW

Hi, I’m Terri, a seasoned therapist who deeply values the connections that I forge with my clients as I help them to feel better, to heal from their pasts, and to create better lives. I am trained in EMDR, DBT and brainspotting, and specialize in trauma healing. Drawing inspiration from my own rich experiences, I find joy in helping others navigate the complexities of life.

Who I help

I offer individual and family therapy, drawing upon my wealth of experience and personal connection to the intricate dynamics of family life. My approach is tailored to support individuals in healing from past trauma, fostering meaningful connections, and guiding families toward a more harmonious existence. Trauma in life can change the way we see ourselves and the world. I enjoy helping bring peace and serenity back to those who want it.

Why I help

My motivation stems from a profound belief in the transformative power of therapy. As a child I was trained to help my mentally ill mother and alcoholic father. As I went through life, I helped others with chronic health problems as a respiratory therapist, then became an emergency room nurse, where I realized that most health problems were related to mental health problems. I changed my career to psychiatric nursing and then become a therapist in 2004. I embarked on this path to help others overcome the wounds that might hinder them from experiencing a fuller, more joyful life. As a seasoned therapist, with training as a nurse, I have the experience necessary to approach my clients from a holistic lens, where I see the mind and body as interconnected.

How I help

In my practice, I employ a warm, intuitive approach, specializing in trauma healing that recognize the interconnectedness of mind and body. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is central to my work, laying the groundwork for growth and transformation. When my husband died of pancreatic cancer, I discovered EMDR to help myself and others process loss and trauma. My expertise includes EMDR, DBT, brainspotting, and inner child work, allowing me to tailor my methods to the unique needs of each individual and family.

Clients Appreciate

Clients often express gratitude for the warmth and wisdom I bring to our therapeutic relationship. My intuitive, relational, and engaged approach creates a safe and supportive space for healing, and clients value a sense of feeling understood and the depth of connection that I help to cultivate.

Off The Clock

When not working, I'm hanging out with my three dogs, doing CrossFit, playing pickle ball, caring for my 100 year old home, and enjoying the company of my friends or my three grown sons and their families. If I am really lucky, I get to hang out with one of my four grandchildren.

Reach out for support

In my therapeutic approach, I strive to infuse warmth, deep caring, and genuine connection into every session. Grounded in effective evidence-based modalities, my commitment is not just to techniques but to fostering an environment where you feel truly understood and supported. I am dedicated to guiding you with authentic warmth, standing by you through life's challenges, and empowering your personal growth. Together, let's create a therapeutic space that helps you to heal from past painful experiences and paves the way for a more enriching journey ahead.
