TESSA WALK, M.A., LPC

Struggling with perfectionism, toxic thoughts, chronic health issues, or relationship pain can feel overwhelming—like you’re stuck in cycles of shame, self-blame, or trying to “fix it” on your own. Many women and couples carry these burdens quietly, feeling disconnected from themselves, each other, and sometimes even from God. But healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.

As a Christian therapist with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health from Wheaton College, I specialize in helping women and couples navigate the deep emotional and relational patterns that often underlie issues like codependency, body shame, conflict, disconnection, and anxiety around identity or control. Whether you find yourself stuck in self-critical thoughts, caught in painful relationship dynamics, or exhausted by trying to hold everything together—I want you to know there is hope, and there is healing.

I believe lasting change doesn’t come from striving—it comes from safety, support, and truth. That’s why I offer a space grounded in both evidence-based clinical care and the compassionate presence of Jesus Christ. Our work is about more than symptom relief; it’s about uncovering the root wounds, rewriting the stories you've believed about yourself or your relationships, and learning how to live from a place of grace, trust, and connection.

For women, this often means exploring the ways past pain, perfectionism, or unmet emotional needs have shaped how they relate to food, their body, and others. For couples, it might mean gently untangling patterns of miscommunication, emotional distance, or fear—and learning how to rebuild trust, intimacy, and deeper partnership through God’s design for love and mutual care.

No matter where you find yourself today—numb, angry, anxious, or just tired—I want you to know you’re not too much, too broken, or too late. God meets us in our mess, and He walks with us toward healing.

If you’re ready to take that first step, I would be honored to walk with you. You are not alone—and freedom is possible.
