Beautiful Beginnings
Counseling and Wellness, LLC
Hello and Welcome!
My name is Teresa Northy and I am a clinical social work associate doing individual and family therapy.
I have my MSW from Portland State University. I have my CSWA and am working with a board approved supervisor and licensed through the Oregon Board of Social Workers.
I partner with Mindful Therapy Group for supervision, scheduling and billing.
I work with Oregon based clients primarily by telehealth.
Life can sometimes feel stressful and busy leading to feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety and overwhelm. Often we feel like we need to manage on our own. The reality about life and connection is that we are designed to do life in a support system. We do not have to be alone!
Finding a good fit with a counselor feels daunting but it does not have to be. Contact me by email or phone for a free 15 minute consult to see if we might be a good fit.
I see individuals of all ages, stages, and walks of life. I counsel clients using a client-centered, empathic, strength-based, trauma-informed, nurturing approach.
