Thrive With Thistle Therapy
At Thrive with Thistle Therapy, our mission is to provide compassionate and evidence-based mental health care for individuals and families navigating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), parenthood, loss, and the unique challenges of the reproductive journey. We are dedicated to fostering resilience, promoting healing, and empowering our clients to embrace their paths with strength and hope.
Through tailored therapy sessions utilizing evidenced-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and trauma-informed care, we aim to create a supportive environment that will allow for every client to
thrive, not just survive.
The thistle, our inspiration and logo, symbolizes perseverance and transformation. It thrives in tough conditions, reminding us that beauty and strength can emerge even in adversity. Its protective spines reflect the importance of boundaries, while its vibrant bloom represents the potential for growth and healing.
Together, we’ll help you thrive,
just like the thistle.
Meet your therapist
Hello, my name is Terri and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of California dedicated to supporting individuals and their families during life’s transitions. In addition to providing therapy services with Thrive with Thistle Therapy, I am a mother of two young children and I serve as a clinical social worker on the mother-baby units of a hospital. I have experience providing care and support to patients and their families navigating challenges including: pregnancy complications, baby blues, difficulty adjusting postpartum, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), birth trauma, NICU admission for their baby, adoption, surrogacy, infertility, pregnancy and newborn loss, and first time parents.
​
I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Southern California (USC) and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Chapman University. In an effort to better serve my clients, I obtained a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) from Postpartum Support International to equip me with specialized knowledge and skills to support individuals during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
With both personal and professional experience, I focus on helping clients while they are trying expand their families, cope with loss, manage perinatal mood or anxiety symptoms, or adjust to parenthood.
