What is a "Telka"?
2021 Bio update: Pronouns: She, her, hers. Telka has been serving the mental health needs of the Greater Lansing Community since 1985. Telka's brief, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy program was designed specifically for the treatment of stress, depression, anxiety and problem relationships. In 2006 her CBT program was approved as 22 credits in Social Work continuing education. Telka's treatment approach blends neuroscience with practical and effective coping skills, mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and ACT.
In 2007, after working 23 years at St. Lawrence outpatient mental health/Sparrow hospital, Telka established a successful private practice in East Lansing, Michigan with her spouse, also a mental health professional. They have one adult daughter and two French Bulldog grand-pups.
