Teinesha Smallwood, MSW, LCSW

Hello and WELCOME! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I help women in North Carolina heal, grow, and thrive. I'm available virtually and on your schedule because "you don't have to do life alone." I value walking alongside individuals through life’s toughest seasons. My passion lies in supporting women of color and communities who are too often overlooked or expected to “push through.” You deserve care, support, and a space that honors your truth. Your story and your lived experiences matter! Don't let chronic pain, the uncertainty of a relationship break, or career stress continue to weigh you down! Reach out for a FREE 15 minute or less consultation.

My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and rooted in compassion. I use several evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, & MORE. Each intervention is tailored to meet you where you are. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, tap into your resilience, and help you move forward with clarity.

Therapy is not a luxury! It is a courageous step towards wholeness. Are you a woman of color carrying the weight of expectations, navigating overwhelming life changes, or feeling the burnout that comes with always having to be strong for everyone else, take a breath. You don’t have to hold it all alone. I see you and I welcome you! Whether you're a caregiver stretched thin, an educator under pressure, a mother, daughter, or friend supporting someone through addiction, or simply feeling stuck in a cycle of anxiety, grief, depression, or chronic pain, your story matters. Healing is possible, and therapy can help. Don't wait! Let's connect today. Virtual sessions offer the flexibility for sessions to be held virtually anywhere you are comfortable. You have already shown your bravery and strength by reading this far. Let's get to the next level together!
