Psychotherapist
In-person at Midtown Location, Telehealth option provided for NC Residents

Teneshia received her Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pfeiffer University. She has provided therapy in group settings, as well as to individuals, couples, and families. While attaining her graduate degree, she worked with couples dealing with premarital concerns, infidelity, blending of families, and other conflicts; individuals suffering from depression, low self-esteem, trauma, and sexual issues; and adult males in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.

Teneshia believes that while we cannot change the past, we can learn a great deal from our life experiences. She believes that our families, culture, and the way we grew up affect our values and belief systems, and it is when those initial beliefs no longer work to maintain daily functioning that we begin to feel stuck. Through the use of techniques including but not limited to deep breathing and mindfulness practices, and family mapping, she collaborates with the client on getting unstuck and provides a safe space while they become a better version of themselves. Teneshia specializes in anxiety, depression, prenatal and postpartum concerns, stress, life transitions, couple conflicts, self esteem, addictions and African American culture.
