i’m teresa.
i study spiritual and emotional
healing as a pasttime
i’m passionate about it
& i like to think i’m good at what i do.
the route i took to being a healer by vocation started with me becoming a psychotherapist and practice owner.
i founded a boutique therapy practice called centered self in 2020, dedicated to deep and meaningful healing, working alongside likeminded practitioners.
through between suns, i offer a different kind of healing.
this work blends my life experience and more intuitive side with my therapeutic experience to open space for deep exploration and transformation.
it’s a flexible, collaborative process that exists outside the framework of traditional therapy. we can get together for a single session or many, it’s up to you. whatever fits best for me to meet you exactly where you are and support your unique path forward.
my experience.
my experience with emotions & mental health:
i’ve been in therapy for a large part of my adulthood - uncovering all sides of what healing means and looks like. i’ve been underneath the microscope of relationship to others and the world around us. i’ve gotten well acquainted with shame, inner demons, and all of those ‘whats wrong with me’ things that recovering people pleasers play a never ending game of tug-of-war with until it makes sense. i’ve learned how to navigate it - and that’s pretty dang cool.
i’ve been a therapist myself for over five years, being granted the outside perspective and clear mind in guiding people through situations similar to my own & getting to pass along my own healing and new perspectives as i go and grow. i am forever grateful for every client who’s trusted me enough to work with me. i’m also a supervisor to two clinicians in my practice. i take pride in having the honor of being a leader :)
my experience with spirituality:
i was taught to meditate as a baby child and about astrology. i was raised spiritually curious and encouraged to question my surroundings, yet inside of the catholic church and a very ‘follow the rules’ type of family. i experienced a bout of atheism when my mom died when i was thirteen (like why god didn’t you save her when i prayed for a whole five days about it!?!?!). this was quickly replaced with agnosticism, although unidentified, after my best friend’s mom pointed out she was visiting me in a dream - even though at the time i was kind of too young to understand it fully. but this initiated an endless pursuit of exploring the things we don’t know. i started dabbling in messages/synchronicities, the afterlife, channeling, dreams, tarot readings and the like ever since.
a few years ago, i dove really deep into it while in the trenches of my healing journey and haven’t looked back.
curious tidbits:
i’m a virgo sun, leo stellium in the seventh house (moon included), & aqua rising.
my birth tarot cards are the star & strength, which alludes to my life circumstances and mission of transforming serious grief into healing and light for others, and it feels absolutely on the mark.
