About Therese
Therese Schmoll is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who brings more than 30 years in mental health and human services to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and self esteem struggles. She also supports those facing grief, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and other life transitions.
Therese trained at Pepperdine University School of Education and Psychology, where she studied clinical psychology with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy. Over three decades she has seen a wide range of challenges, from mood disorders and bipolar concerns to trauma, abuse, and compassion fatigue. That background informs a practical, steady style in sessions.
Her approach draws from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, client-centered care, and existential ideas. In a typical session she helps people notice patterns, test different responses, and build habits that support clearer thinking and healthier relationships.
Therese often addresses family and relationship dynamics, blended family concerns, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and issues around fertility, divorce, infidelity, or hospice and end-of-life matters. She also works with people dealing with ADHD, narcissism, money stress, career transitions, and parenting strain.
People who meet with her can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools, and attention to the everyday demands of life. To get started a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.
