TERI ACOSTA • LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker #149460

Hi, I’m Teri, and I show up to therapy with a blend of fierce tenderness, intuition, grounded presence, and authenticity. I believe healing happens through genuine connection, honesty, and the courage to explore what’s beneath the surface. My clients often describe me as thoughtful, quick, steady, and sometimes a little goofy, but always deeply committed to their well-being.

What excites me most about being a therapist is witnessing the transformation that unfolds as people move from pain, confusion, or relational hurt into clarity, emotional strength, healthier relationships, renewed confidence, and a felt sense of wholeness. Walking alongside someone as they reclaim their life is truly a privilege, and I’m honored to be part of that journey.

I work with adults, couples, men, and individuals seeking authenticity, empowerment, and emotional healing. My approach is relational, authentic, and deeply human. I believe in using self-disclosure thoughtfully and showing up as a real person, not a blank slate.

My goal is to help clients experience insight, emotional stability, relational growth, and a deeper sense of who they truly are. Authenticity is central to my work — I teach it, model it, and believe it’s essential for healing.
