About

Teri Sica, LICSW has over 28 years of experience as a psychotherapist and coach in private practice.

Teri’s working philosophy is that challenges and conflicts are opportunities for personal and professional growth:  “People do not need to view conflicts, weaknesses, and roadblocks in their lives as negatives.  Rather, if utilized appropriately, these are opportunities for inviting new insights and opening new doors. ”

“DISCOVERING AUTHENTICITY” is the focus of Teri’s work. “Beneath every problem there is fear.  We all have basic needs for love, safety, nurturance, etc.  When these needs are perceived as threatened, we feel vulnerable and afraid.  This is when people become defensive or go into protective mode by hiding, camouflaging, or pretending, which creates stress, alienates others and lose themselves.   Peeling away the layers and accessing your authentic self is the only way to lead a healthy and happy life.  You have to work with who YOU are and what you’ve got. That is what I help people to do.”

As TALK SHOW HOST, Teri’s weekly show, “Discovering Authenticity”, (WATD, 95.9 FM), features dynamic guests with rich provocative topics, compelling stories, and powerful messages related to everyday life challenges. Many of Teri’s guests and talent are known nationwide. Each tell their story – how their own challenges in authenticity lead them to making new discoveries and profound changes in their lives. Teri’s show reaches into the lives of every listener.

 

Areas of expertise include problems with anxiety, performance, anger, depression, eating disorders, communication, self-confidence, and interpersonal relationships.  Teri works with couples, individuals and groups as well as leading presentations and seminars.
