Hi, I’m Tessa
I believe that healing is possible for ALL people. At Gaia Healing, I offer individualized and holistic psychotherapy for anyone struggling with life’s challenges. We begin by understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing. I help you put a plan in place to help you move forward, and we celebrate your successes along the way. I offer an inclusive and safe space with in-person or virtual appointments to suit your schedule.
My clients typically present with anxiety and depression symptoms, often with an existing diagnosis of ADHD, AuADHD, or PTSD. I celebrate neurodiversity and enjoy working with neurodivergent population. I currently work with adults 18 years and up. My trainings include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and psychedelic-assisted therapy. My areas of interest are spirituality and mindfulness, yoga, and all forms of art and music.
