Teresa Gehman, LMHC

Teresa Gehman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy problems, and issues that overlap with addiction and eating concerns. She also lists codependency among her focuses.

Teresa uses a mix of approaches to suit what each person brings. That can mean practical skill-building, short-term focused work, or addressing attachment and trauma patterns that show up in relationships. She aims to help people notice unhelpful habits and try alternatives that fit everyday life.

In sessions she often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered conversation. That can look like learning ways to accept uncomfortable feelings, testing out small behavior changes, and naming patterns learned in earlier relationships. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past connections affect present choices.

Teresa has worked across many topics over three decades, including LGBT concerns, parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and major life transitions. She notes experience with trauma and abuse and supports people who struggle with anger, low self-esteem, and commitment worries.

People can expect clear, practical steps alongside time to talk through painful memories or current conflicts. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what would make daily life more manageable. To begin, the site’s matching and scheduling steps are used to pick a first appointment.
