Teresa Kline, Licensed Professional Counselor

At the age of 35, I enrolled in college for the first time, following a significant emotional healing, on November 13, 1989. Prior to that day in 1989, I had not recognized ways that unresolved family of origin events had impacted my heart and soul, and ultimately my relationships with others. The experience of healing that day in 1989, led me to seek training to assist others who may be stuck emotionally. So, I enrolled in college for the first time in the fall of 1990 and for the next 10 years, I studied the academics of counseling, and at the same time, I also gained valuable life lessons and insights. Since completing a formal education in 2000, I have had many opportunities to work in the mental health field and have had the privilege to be in private practice in Waxahachie, Texas, since 2011.

As a teenager, I naturally identified as Freudian in the way that I thought about human behavior, and by the time that I completed my studies at university, I had a much broader scope of understanding. Currently, in private practice, my primary approach as a Counselor, is to seek to connect and understand with compassion each Client’s unique story and personality. And in that process, I weave Cognitive Behavioral insights with Solution Focused tools and insights and best practices as I tailor each session to the unique needs and personality of each Client. In providing Grief Counseling, I mostly seek to provide a compassionate space for Clients to experience healing unfold naturally. And for Clients who choose to continue with me beyond the initial sessions, I naturally weave in Mentoring and Life Coaching concepts. And I am also a Board Certified Christian Life Coach.
