Theresa Connelly, LCSW, CCTP

Hello! I am Theresa Connelly, LCSW, owner of Calming Waters Counseling, LLC. I am a licensed clinical social worker with several years of clinical experience across a variety of settings. I received my bachelor’s degree in social work from Shippensburg University in 2008 and my master’s degree in social work in 2010. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, family conflict, trauma, and life transitions. I am dedicated to creating a supportive, safe, and judgement free space to work on your growth and wellness. My goal is to help you explore and understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all connected to your well-being. With a background in social work my practice is rooted in empowerment, strength-based, and goal-focused approaches to care. I strive to utilize therapy interventions based on your needs and concerns, meeting you where you are at in your life. I want my clients to leave a session feeling like their concerns have been actively listened to and validated. When my clients leave a session, my goal is that they feel like they have gained something of value for the time that we have spent together. My clients often share they feel more prepared to tackle some of their concerns after working with me. If you are interested in scheduling a free 15-minute consultation with me, please send an appointment request. I am accepting several insurances, private pay, and also offer a sliding fee scale!
