About Teresa Trower M.A. LMHC
Teresa Trower has over 30 years experience in the helping
professions as Teacher, Guidance Counselor and Licensed Mental
Health Counselor in the state of Florida.
She received her undergraduate degree at Oklahoma State University
and her Masters in Counseling at the University of North Florida in
Jacksonville.
Her early counseling work involved helping elementary school students
learn about emotions, deal with anger, develop coping skills, and utilize
the techniques necessary for academic success.
Teresa developed and published numerous counseling materials to
facilitate this process.
These include a computerized survey entitled “Who Am I?”, The Kid
Counselor, The Kid Counselor Musicals, The Kid Counselor Curriculum,
Furious Fables, Self Esteem Stories and “Helping Your Child Through
Your Divorce”.
She also developed a board game and workbook entitled, “The Self
Control Patrol”, which is currently distributed by Paperbacks for
Educators and Youthlight, Inc.

In addition to counseling, Teresa has participated as a speaker in
several conferences.
These include “Counseling Interventions with Angry Children” and
“Helping Children Deal with Grief” at the National Guidance and
Counseling Conferences in Pittsburgh and Orlando.
In 2000, she was awarded the Certificate of Recognition for Counseling
by the Alpha Delta Kappa Educational chapter in Nassau County.
As a counselor in private practice, Teresa has an eclectic approach to
therapy. She believes that every client comes with a unique story and
she respects the courage with which clients meet their varying life
circumstances.
Although she believes that most people already have the answers they
seek, in the presence of a caring, compassionate listener, those
answers can emerge with a clarity not often afforded by solitary
pursuit.
As a cognitive behavioral therapist, Teresa helps clients examine how
their thoughts affect their feelings and ultimately, their behavior.
She is both a Licensed Clinical Hypnotherapist and a trained
practitioner of EMDR, a highly researched therapy to reduce anxiety
and change dysfunctional beliefs.
Teresa specializes in Depression, Anxiety, Parenting, and Attention
Deficit Disorder.
Her background as The Stress Coach came from her realization that
every life problem is exacerbated by stress. With this in mind, Teresa
developed the Stress Inoculation Program which teaches her clients to
minimize the effects of stress to the point of becoming "stress-
resilient". No matter what the life challenge or goal, approaching it
from a place of peace greatly enhances the chances for success.
Teresa has coached adults, teens, and children to help them reach
their individual goals. She has helped clients with goals as diverse as
weight loss and script writing.
Teresa's ideal client is ready to take that next step towards living a
more fulfilling, joyful, and health filled life.
