About Teresa
Teresa Syversen is an Oregon Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience in behavioral health and addictions. She practices on the Oregon coast and works with people who are facing depression, anxiety, bipolar symptoms, addiction concerns, and ADHD. Teresa often sees clients who have a history of physical trauma or emotional abuse and meets them with calm and respect.
Her style is warm and interactive. Conversations are guided by the person's needs rather than a rigid formula. Teresa uses clear, practical tools alongside open listening to help people name problems and try new ways of coping.
She blends several approaches to match what each person needs. That can include cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking, client-centered listening to hold difficult feelings, and trauma-focused steps when past harm affects daily life. Teresa adapts the plan as progress and goals emerge.
In sessions she focuses on real-life changes like managing stress, improving relationships, handling grief, and finding ways to reduce substance use or compulsive behaviors. Work can include skill-building, problem-solving, and changing unhelpful habits.
Teresa encourages people who are ready to make changes and supports them through the process. She aims to create a respectful space where people can try new approaches and regain a sense of control over daily life.
