More about Tessa Reynolds, LMFT
Tess originally got into mental health due to her fascination with psychology and the inner workings of the human mind. To her, there is so much complexity and depth to the mind, human emotions, and corresponding lived experiences. She decided to train and begin working in the therapeutic world out of a desire to help people and her community live healthier, happier, self-directed lives on their own terms. She initially worked with teens and loved the experience, and soon expanded to helping people of all ages- and increasing her positive impact.
Her working style with patients tends to be direct, client focused, and strength based. She encourages her clients to direct the treatment focus as they know what they need to work on, what areas of improvement would positively impact their lives, and what support would help them be successful in their identified treatment goals. She doesn’t push throughout the process. Rather, she walks along-side of her clients throughout their journey.
She identifies with the Mindful Health Solutions treatment approach, therapeutic culture, strength and skill-based modalities and the quality team aspect. She supports the ideal of providing access to quality mental health treatments, supports and psychoeducation, regardless of severity of identified problems or diagnosis.
She genuinely believes everyone needs support at some point in life and that is normal! Tess passionately believes that mental health supports should be easily accessible and available to anyone who needs it.
