Transform pain into purpose,
wounds into wisdom,
inspire others to do the same.
Mental Health Teletherapy services
Teletherapy Services Only.
2022 Service Update: Telka's mental health services are now exclusively Telemedicine for current and former clients only. The good news is that Telka's tools and video recommendations are available to use on your own or with the psychotherapist of your choice. Telka now offers free training for therapists as a "give back and rise up" to the profession she loves in hopes that former clients will connect with brief, solution-focused, CBT counseling in the future.
What is a "Telka"?
Bio update: Pronouns: She, her, hers. Telka was born and raised in Michigan, earning a BSW & MSW from Michigan State University. Her brief, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral 11-week program was approved as 22 credit continuing education for clinical social work in 2006. In 2007, after working over 20 years in hospital-based outpatient mental health, Telka established a successful private practice with her spouse, a retired psychologist and fellow Spartan.
As of 2020, her telehealth services are limited to current and former clients only, no longer accepting new clients.
In 2025, projected plan is to retire from private practice, transitioning into volunteer consulting, training and educational work within the community.
