Teretha Lewis, LCSW, LSOE, LSOTP

Hello! My name is Teretha Lewis, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist in the Chicagoland area. I completed my Master of Social Work Degree with a specialization in Mental Health from Loyola University Chicago. For most of my career, I have worked in various settings within the therapeutic community with individuals who have experienced trauma and are struggling to manage their daily lives. I specialize in the treatment of children/adolescents, adults, and families struggling with Trauma, Depression, Behavioral Issues, Sexualized Behavior Problems, and PTSD.

In my work, my goal is to assist my clients in developing greater insight and effective strategies to manage stressful and distressing situations in their lives. I believe my biggest strength is my ability to connect with my clients. My counseling style is warm and interactive, which provides my clients with a warm, empathetic, non-judgmental, safe space to speak about the daily challenges where they can truly be themselves.

Clients can expect to take away from their first session the mode of treatment I will be utilizing and beginning to understand and develop insight into some of the stressors in their lives. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy.
