About me
Hello, my name is Theresia, but you can call me Tee! I understand that right now you may be feeling lost, frustrated, angry, hurt, and depressed; believe it or not...I’ve been there! I understand what it’s like to feel hopeless, scared, worried, alone, and overwhelmed. Right now you may not even know what you feel. I know you have many questions and yet so few answers to what is happening in your life right now. This is where I come in. I am here to listen to you tell your story and help you figure out how to move forward in your life, more importantly, I am here to give you support and understanding so you do not have to do this alone. I promise you I will provide a safe place for you.
Now, let me tell you a bit about myself. I am an experienced Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master's level Marriage and Family Therapist, with specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In addition, I completed 8 years of PhD-level coursework and research at Northcentral University, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy, focusing on relationships and understanding family dynamics, attachment issues, and patterns of codependency. This advanced training has deepened my understanding of relationships, family dynamics, child development, and how to address unique challenges.
My expertise includes helping with managing depression, rumination and overthinking, trauma, releasing trauma, and trapped emotions from your body, relationship attachments, codependency, and more. Also, I work with people who have low self-esteem or confidence issues, and I provide effective ways to manage and reduce anxiety. I help you figure out why you feel the way you do and how you can change it.
Also, as a relationship expert, I can help you understand why you may find yourself repeating unhealthy cycles in relationships, struggling to set boundaries, or even trying to figure out what you want.
My PhD level education and extensive training in family dynamics, personality traits, and even societal pressures have allowed me to help many build and maintain healthy relationships. In our sessions, we will explore attachment styles and personality traits that can better help you understand your relationships.
As a clinician, I go beyond the "textbook" version of counseling. By this, I mean that I understand the value of engaging with you, being relatable and realistic about your needs, and supporting you in your efforts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Positive Psychology, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Structural Family Therapy (SFT), and Family Systems Therapy (FST) are my preferred therapeutic modalities.
Aside from these, I have been trained in many other modalities, so my approach to therapy is eclectic. Thus, your counseling experience will be genuine and tailored to your specific situation. I am down to earth, and I am always available to offer relevant feedback and support. As you go through the current conflict or crisis in your life, I am here to listen and support you. Whether you are seeking meaning, managing depression, anxiety, difficulty in a relationship, or dealing with traumatic memories, I am here to support and help you.
What makes me different?
Well for one, I won't sugarcoat it. I will be honest with you and tell you what I see, because if I am not being honest with you, then I am not helping you. I will then help you to cope, heal, and build emotional resilience, and confidence, and provide you with strategies that help you gain clarity in your life. I understand this is a vulnerable experience for you, so I will support you every step of the way.
In addition to this, I will engage with you throughout the week so we are not just meeting once a week, but talking, interacting, and working on the problems that led you here. This is a judgment-free zone that will give you the freedom to be yourself and discuss what is happening in your life. My goal is to build you up to the point of resiliency so that you can advocate for yourself. You may leave me a message at any time, and I will respond to you as quickly as I can with relevant feedback on your conflict. The process will not be easy, but it is possible. I make it my business to understand your experience and offer realistic feedback and interventions to help you. I see each client as unique, and therefore my strategies are genuine to your specific needs. I am here waiting to help you. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Theresia Jackson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Theresia is a great therapist. She is kind, understanding and professional. I am immensely grateful for her help. I am not one to ever praise or write reviews, but Theresia definitely deserves one, she is an amazing therapist.
Theresia has been extremely helpful in guiding my fiancé and myself as we navigate the difficulties associated with sexual abuse. She gives insight and understanding, along with practical guidance for how we can manage conflict and communicate more effectively. Thank you Theresia!

Theresa is extremely smart and cuts right to the root issues so that my partner and I can transform negative patterns into positive ones quickly and efficiently
Theresia identified my problem in the relationship right off the bat. She was able to explain it to my partner in a way that didn't hurt her feelings. I was never able to do this. We still have work to do. I'm very comfortable and confident with Theresia helping us.
She is quite amazing, she takes her time to listen, gives great feedback and give us a lot of great resources. I would recommend her to any couple who is open to couples therapy, by far the best therapist I have ever had, she will forever be our therapist.
Theresia is a wonderful couples therapist who helps us focus on the important issues and takes the time to address our individual concerns. She is an active listener who reflects back on what we have said in an honest, kind and compassionate manner. I would highly recommend her to any couple who is interested in strengthening their relationship.
I find her extremely helpful in presenting ways for us to improve our relationship.
We’ve only had one session but we are hopeful for the future and enjoy working with Theresia. She’s very grounded and fair to both sides. We feel confident in our ability to resolve our conflicts in the relationship working with her. The worksheets are really helpful as well.
Theresia is very helpful and listens at our sessions and offers us ways to become better versions of ourselves while dealing with the daily struggles of work, and family life. She’s great!
Theresa has been 100% on point with her guidance and support. The experience has been extremely insightful and caring. I continue to look forward to the weekly advice and guidance for new pathways for communicating and sharing with myself and husband. Massive gratitude for Theresa time and patience.

Theresia is exceptional at what she does. She listens carefully, is kind and reassuring and is able to communicate and elicit awareness in a way that feels like a journey that you come out of with a deeper understanding of your problems and of yourself. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.
