Professional Background:
Tessa graduated from the Columbia University School of Social Work in 2005 and has spent her career providing therapy in a variety of settings. Through this work, she developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges young adults face today. She enjoys helping young adults navigate identity, life transitions, and relationships, and she has extensive experience supporting individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use disorders.

Recognizing a lack of mental health services tailored specifically to young adults, Tessa founded LIKEMIND in 2017 to create a space where they can receive the specialized support they deserve.

Therapeutic Approach:
Tessa uses an integrative, client-centered approach, incorporating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques. She believes in creating a collaborative space where clients feel empowered to explore challenges and develop meaningful strategies for growth. She also sees humor as a powerful tool in the healing process and often uses laughter to help clients feel at ease.
