Hi! I’m Teague, a clinical social worker and therapist, and I’m so glad you’re here. I work with folks 18 and older who are navigating change, feeling stuck, or simply wanting to better understand themselves and their patterns of thinking or behavior.
Much of my work centers around transitions - starting college, entering the workforce, navigating new or shifting relationships, exploring identity, becoming a parent, or finding your footing during a period of significant change. I particularly enjoy working with people who are thoughtful and curious about themselves, and want to be active participants in the therapy process.
As a therapist, I believe that you are the expert in your own life. You know yourself, your relationships, and your circumstances better than anyone else, and I bring clinical knowledge, curiosity, and evidence-based practices from my work as a therapist. Together, we work to identify what is and isn’t working, and consider what you might like to do differently. Some people come to my practice with a specific goal, and for others, the awareness that something isn’t quite right is enough of a reason to begin.
I strive to create a therapy space that feels warm, honest, and free of judgment. Life is often complicated, and I value clients’ courage as they bring parts of themselves to therapy that they don’t often feel comfortable sharing elsewhere. I have an inclusive view of gender, sexuality, and family, and welcome folks of all identities into my practice. Destigmatizing mental health care is important to me. I believe that all of us, at various points in our lives, benefit from curious self-inquiry into what is working and what could benefit from a new, intentional approach.
I have a special interest in working with those who are considering the path of parenthood, are currently expecting a child (via pregnancy, surrogacy, adoption, or other means), have experienced fertility challenges, and/or are experiencing difficulty adjusting to parenthood. I hold a certification in Perinatal Mental Health and have advanced training in this area. Babies in arms are welcome during our sessions.
My clinical training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems/Parts Work, Problem-Solving Therapy, and other evidence-based approaches. I have extensive experience collaborating with primary care providers and psychiatrists, and am happy to support clients as they navigate changes to their medication regimen. In addition to my work at Grove, I lecture at the University of Michigan School of Social Work, and provide training and consultation to local healthcare providers to enhance their patient engagement skills. My professional background also includes academia and research, career coaching, primary care, and the juvenile justice and legal systems. Working in different systems has afforded me the opportunity to understand how they work and the challenges folks may face within them. I appreciate the macro-level perspective those experiences have given me and value learning, growing, and challenging my own thinking.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors, getting lost in a good book, finding humor and joy with friends, and learning and exploring the world alongside my two young children. -
