TERESA CONNER, MSW, LCSW, LMT

Mental Health Therapist

Teresa brings passion for supporting others in their path for wellness and healing and believes it is awareness that leads to transformation and change.  Teresa believes change is possible and often occurs in small increments and often includes each realm of one’s Being: the mind, the body and the spirit. Teresa’s approach is individualized and she brings qualities of compassion, curiosity, acceptance, and present moment awareness to her therapy sessions.  The therapeutic frame of her approach includes modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as well as somatic techniques. These approaches build upon an individual’s strengths while also cultivating one’s self-awareness as they work towards achieving their personal goals. Teresa brings a trauma informed, person-centered approach, meeting each person where they are and believes the therapeutic process to be a collaborative and relational experience.  

Teresa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a graduate of Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work, located in New York City where she completed her Master’s degree in Social Work with the focus on Health and Mental Health. Additionally, Teresa is an experienced Licensed Massage Therapist of over twenty years which brings an additional layer of understanding the mind-body connection.
