Terri Drake
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
I welcome and affirm clients of all identities and backgrounds in my practice. I offer kind, practical help & specialize in working with college students.
I especially enjoy working with college students! I will help you look at patterns created over the course of a lifetime that interfere with you having the life you want and may have led to depression, anxiety, relationship problems or other issues. Let's explore who you are, how you got to be that way, and what changes you want to make to have a better life.
