Welcome
Welcome to the practice of Theresa Slade, LCPC, focusing on couples and individual therapy. My expertise includes supporting couples who are committed to strengthening and repairing their relationship as well as individuals navigating life transitions, relationship issues, parenting challenges and daily life stressors. As a clinician, I have the privilege of working alongside clients toward emotional healing by enhancing self-awareness and deepening understanding of behaviors and emotions.
About Theresa
I am originally from Pennsylvania where I attended Temple University in Philadelphia. After college, I moved to Baltimore, but I struggled to find meaning in the work I was doing. I previously worked in the restaurant and service industry, spent several years as a nanny and a special educator prior to finding my career as a psychotherapist. Although it took me longer to find a career I’m passionate about, I’ve never felt more excited about the work I am privileged to do daily. In addition to being a therapist, I am a wife, a mother (dogs included), a daughter, a sister and a friend. My journey to becoming a therapist has been enriched by unique experiences that have allowed me to gain insight and empathy into how the life experience is different for everyone.
Approach to Therapy
Whether you’ve been here before or this is your first time seeking help, I deeply understand how difficult and scary this can feel. With compassion and without judgment, we’ll work together to identify and confront unhealthy patterns of behavior and increase emotional understanding of self and others. I incorporate a variety of evidence-based interventions and modalities as I believe that a therapeutic approach is not one-size fits all and each individual has unique needs. I am passionate about working with couples who are struggling with connection and communication in their relationship and enjoy supporting parents in the adjustment to parenthood. My practice is founded on the belief that by repairing deep wounds and confronting negative cycles of behavior, it’s possible to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Credentials and Specializations
Masters in School Counseling
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)
Certified Level 1 Relational Life Therapy, Relational Life Institute
Specializes in Relationship issues, Life transitions, Parental challenges, Anxiety and Depression
I provide therapy for motivated couples and individuals. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety around a life change, depression, or relationship issues, I offer a compassionate and supportive environment to explore your concerns and work toward meaningful change.
Personal Life and Motivation
Outside of work, I am fulfilled by spending time with my husband, daughter and our two black labs. Our weekends are filled with connecting with friends and family, exercising, at Maryland sporting events or finding quiet time to recharge. I thoroughly enjoy traveling and experiencing new and different parts of the world when life allows.\
My desire to connect with people and help others began at a very young age. As the youngest in a large family, I spent years observing and absorbing different family dynamics, individual personalities and relationships and gaining insight into how interconnected experiences are. Having navigated my own challenges in life, I understand and believe in the importance of therapy and a strong therapeutic relationship.
My Commitment to You
Confidentiality, empathy, and professionalism form the cornerstone of my practice. I am committed to creating a non judgmental and supportive environment where you can feel secure as you navigate your mental health journey. My goal is to empower you with the tools, insight and confidence needed to face life’s challenges with vulnerability and strength.
