Teresa Padgett

I use a client-centered, trauma-informed approach to support children, teens, and adults in Virginia experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship stress. I integrate CBT, play therapy strategies, and crisis-responsive support and provide LGBTQIA+ affirming counseling in a safe, supportive space.

Together, we will explore challenges related to anxiety, depression, grief, school stress, identity, or relationships, and build healthy coping skills and emotional regulation tools. Using CBT and trauma-informed therapy, I support children, teens, and adults across Virginia in building confidence and resilience.

Clients describe me as warm, supportive, and easy to talk to, especially when working through anxiety, depression, grief, school challenges, and identity concerns. Families value my experience as a Virginia school counselor, and clients appreciate my LGBTQIA+ affirming, practical, strengths-based therapy style.
