- LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with over 12 years of professional clinical work experience. Additionally, I have extensive experience as a public school teacher. My clinical experience ranges across a variety of treatment settings including private practice, community mental health/substance abuse clinics, and in the elementary, middle and high school environment. I specialize in family conflicts, relationship struggles, parenting/co-parenting issues, self esteem and confidence, and vocational & career difficulties. While integrating Biblically based Christian principles, and with gentle balance and guidance, I will walk with you through your areas of concern as you process the vast array of emotions attached to the issues. Together, we will work toward a solution that is focused on your strengths to create a more resourceful, resilient, hope-filled life worth living.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

In a world of nominally Christian therapists practicing on platforms like this, Audrey really stands out as a true believer committed to Christian principles and guiding Christian clients always with an eye on the Bible. Very happy with the care and guidance I receive from Audrey Teshima.

Very understanding and helpful. Helping me look out for my own best interests in a considerate way. Helping me grow and push myself to make meaningful changes to my communication, behavior and though process.
Audrey has a way of listening to your thoughts on something and educationing and encouraging you to talk through your feelings while exploring if there are any other feelings behind them.
