Teresa Stroup, LCSW, Therapist in Tigard, Oregon

Teresa Stroup helps individuals, couples, and families across Oregon navigate life’s challenges with warmth, compassion, and evidence-based care. She creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can work through emotional pain, strengthen relationships, and develop skills to lead more balanced and fulfilling lives. Teresa works with adults and teens facing issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions, guiding them toward insight, healing, and resilience. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness, Teresa tailors her approach to each client’s needs. She integrates faith-based and Christian counseling when requested, offering clients the opportunity to explore the connection between spirituality and mental health as part of their therapeutic journey. Her collaborative style encourages clients to become active participants in their own growth and well-being. Teresa is particularly passionate about helping couples and families improve communication, rebuild trust, and resolve conflict. She also supports individuals navigating midlife and later life transitions—whether adjusting to aging, managing loss, or redefining purpose. Her work often includes group therapy, where clients find support and shared understanding through community and connection. Outside of her practice, Teresa enjoys swimming, camping, and spending time with her grandchildren. These moments of connection and simplicity mirror the values she brings into therapy—presence, empathy, and the importance of meaningful relationships.
