Teresa Spencer

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 19 mi away • Williamsburg, VA


Many of the people I work with come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from carrying things on their own for too long. It is a true privilege to sit with individuals during some of the most difficult and painful seasons of life. My hope is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, known, and valued. Through curiosity, compassion, and genuine connection, we can explore your story together, begin healing deep wounds, and move toward greater wholeness and freedom. I’m passionate about helping people make sense of their stories, heal from what has wounded them, and move toward a life that feels more whole and meaningful. Above all, I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported in the process.
