Meet your therapist
Care that begins with listening.
Teinesha Smallwood, LCSW, offers a steady, affirming space to understand your experiences and reconnect with your strengths.
Rooted in community and compassion
A native of Bertie County, North Carolina, Teinesha brings warmth, cultural awareness, and respect for the whole person into every session.
Her work is collaborative rather than prescriptive. You'll explore what brought you to therapy, notice patterns with curiosity, and build practical ways to move through life with greater clarity.
Her approach may draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and expressive methods such as music.
