Meet Yourself Anew

Judy Epstein, 64

I cannot recommend Tea strongly enough!!!  So genuinely caring, sensitive, perceptive and trustworthy!!! She guided me on my first (and subsequent) "expanded" experiences. I was SO nervous and afraid of what it would be like but as the rush began to come on, her presence and guidance assured me I that could totally trust her, follow her soothing voice, and feel the grounding and comfort of her presence and hand on my arm. Everything in me relaxed and I felt safe, cared for and seamlessly guided in the direction that was most beneficial. If any suggestion didn’t feel right for me, she welcomed my feedback in such a graceful and appreciative way that I never felt I needed to worry about her or how she would receive my comments. It always felt that EVERYTHING was for my benefit, a new experience for me since my life’s wounding was never feeling seen, heard or feeling that I mattered. Tea transformed that experience for me PERFECTLY!! My whole life I had been looking for that kind of presence, one that was consistent and genuine because as a Highly Sensitive Person, I could somehow feel any and all unspoken yet palpable to me undercurrents of thoughts and feelings of inconsistencies within someone, even if their “presentation” was perfect. With Tea, there was no “presentation”; it was her heart, through and through! I believe experiencing that in another is one of the most blessed connections possible. I am not one to speak this way, but Tea felt like the Angelic presence I always yearned to feel. A year later, I still feel this way with each and every time I’m blessed to share a connection with her!!

From the moment we met, Tea’s soulful green eyes showed me it was safe to be myself around her. She is a true angel who is deeply compassionate, genuinely caring and beyond qualified for this work. The insights received in my time of expanded consciousness were life changing and I couldn’t have done that without Tea’s guidance and selfless support. She is an incredible listener and allowed me to open up fully trusting that she was there every step of the way. Even prior to our session, she thoughtfully answered all of my questions, always knowing how to hold space for my (many) fears as they arose. Since our session together, I’ve felt a continued sense of peace and love within myself and a deeper connection to my inner child, which has been healing on so many levels. Working with Tea was one of the most profound experiences of my life and I’ll be forever grateful for her guidance.

All my life, since early childhood, I have been dealing with panic attacks and anxiety, so I thought that this is just the way I am. I assumed it was normal that therefore I was a bad sleeper, a chronic worrier and constantly had negative thoughts. I always have been skeptical to the idea of counseling and therapy. I learned about IFS from Tea and decided to try it because I found it quite different from other models of Psychotherapy. She gained my trust by holding space for me at my most vulnerable  in a manner that created a deep sense of trust before we ever even began working with expanded states. I never had someone hold that sort of container for me and it was a profound experience of surrender, knowing i'll be safe. Before beginning to work with her there was a part of me who was so skeptical, given Tea's tender age. However, after developing our therapeutic relationship further and feeling so seen, heard and accepted, I knew she was beyond equipped for this work. I experienced the ability to really tune into my internal landscape and understand my actions and thought patterns through a lens of curiosity and non-reactivity For the first time in over 20 years I felt compassion for myself and the choices that had led me here. Tea really helped me in discovering more about myself and finding the root of my anxiety. She a a very, very kind soul with a purpose.

I recently participated in a journey into expanded awareness with Tea that changed my life. The container that Tea created felt so safe and healing that I was able to journey into the deepest unknown parts of my subconscious to communicate with the parts and energies of my being that had become obscured. With Tea's expert guidance throughout the journey, I was able to reach new understandings and develop new conclusions that have served as the basis for me making some major life changes and decisions. I'm forever grateful for the experience and for Tea's empathetic and experienced facilitation and would highly recommend working with Tea if you are looking to heal the past to move forward with grace into your future.

I don’t know how to describe how lucky I am to have had Tea as my therapist during my journey towards understanding and loving myself. I was really surprised at first to see how professional and knowledgeable Tea is at her field despite her young age.  But after spending time with her outside of treatment sessions, I soon understood that she spent enormous amount of time daily pursuing personal growth not only as a therapist but also as a person. After the first treatment with Tea I realized that I would like to go on a follow up journey and spend more time integrating the insights from the first session with her as I saw the great benefit of this work unfolding in my healing journey.  Despite her heavy schedule, she managed to spend quite a lot of time with me. The thing that felt really special was the non-transactional nature of her care, I truly felt like I was in the presence of a longtime friend. And at that moment, I knew that I had found the right person who truly cares about her clients and is willing to step up to help them, which I believe is the most important thing in this field. Now after the treatments, I am so thankful to have Tea as a resource and guide in my continued healing journey, and to feel her sustained authentic care for my wellbeing.

I’ve been working with Tea over the past several years and can confidently attribute a great deal of my healing and self-discovery to our conversations. Aside from Tea, I’ve only ever experienced counselors that have been more of sounding boards, where I leave feeling validated and heard, but still stuck; or counselors who have a solution-oriented approach, which has often left me feeling shut down. Tea has such a gift of offering space for people to be vulnerable and feel understood. Between her wealth of scientific knowledge and emotional intelligence, she’s somehow able to meet me exactly where I am every time we talk. She listens attentively and asks questions that get to the core of whatever it is I’m trying to work through. I couldn’t recommend her as a counselor enough!! Along with being a loving guide, she also has a sense of humor and levity to her that has a way of pulling me out of my spiraling tendencies. I find that the post-session support is especially important for individuals who have a long standing pattern of numbing or escaping difficult emotions and volatile mood swings, as the ongoing integration of insight and the support in strengthening self-regulation are pivotal in long term development of skillsets to healthily cope with difficult life circumstances!

Tea is what most of us envision when picturing an ideal counselor. I have worked with several professionals, and while most are able to follow my thought process and ask me questions, Tea has a gift for truly understanding the baggage behind what I am articulating and helping me learn new things about myself. She seamlessly creates an environment where I feel fully held and accepted, in a manner that not once has felt superficial. Many are able to go through the training and schooling Tea has completed, but few (and not a single person whom I have met) possess Tea’s emotional intelligence and boundless compassion. I leave every session with her feeling less helpless and more in tune with myself and my own feelings. After working with her for a significant period of time, I have noticed significant improvements in my own ability to recognize feelings of shame, guilt, etc and pinpoint the root cause behind them. Beyond that, Tea has helped me craft healthy coping mechanisms that allow me to prevent my anxiety from reaching a point where it is debilitating. I recommend her wholeheartedly to everyone!

Tea is incredible. Her space holding abilities are unparalleled, and her advanced understanding of IFS framework made me feel like she could deeply relate to my experience thus allowing me to open up on a truly profound and vulnerable level in a way that I’ve never experienced before. It’s been so amazing working with someone with such a technical background that also incorporates a soft, loving, and deeply caring energy into her work.

To really connect with my inner self, I had to deal with my shame and continuous state of regret. I had to be compassionate and forgiving to myself,  because I would have never been the man I am today without the 'mistakes' I made, and I am more than happy with who that is. Tea made it easy to recognize this within myself and created the space for me to connect with the little boy that is and will forever be who I truly am, together with all the fears, insecurities, dreams and passions he holds. Being open, honest and compassionate to myself has made me deal with addiction in a healthy manner and it showed me the true values of life. Her guidance in navigating my system in a loving, all-compassionate way gave me the tools to be that loving anchor for myself and has deeply impacted the trajectory of my life.
