Tekla Barrett

I use a client-centered, strengths-based, and non-judgmental approach to therapy, with a strong focus on mindfulness. My style is direct, honest, and expressive, and sessions are interactive, with meaningful back-and-forth dialogue. We work collaboratively to explore what feels most supportive and effective for you. I am open-minded, empathetic, and genuine, and these qualities guide my therapeutic approach. I have experience working with individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families. Areas of focus include anxiety, depression, grief, domestic violence, relationship concerns, and reproductive mental health. I also specialize in supporting individuals and couples navigating infertility, IUI/IVF, pregnancy loss, third-party reproduction, and the emotional complexities of deciding whether or not to have children. Additionally, I work with women experiencing reproductive and hormonal health challenges. Living primarily in France and Spain for a decade and traveling extensively has deepened my cultural awareness and sensitivity. I continue to travel, as I believe these experiences enrich me both personally and professionally. Therapy with me is a space where you are encouraged to fully be yourself—within a safe, supportive, and confidential environment. I prioritize building an authentic, trusting therapeutic relationship and aim to bring warmth, optimism, curiosity, and empathy into each session. I look forward to connecting with you. I am open to working with children and adolescents ages 10–17.
