Aoife Tessmann (She/Her)

I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based approach that helps clients develop psychological flexibility, relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, and move toward lives guided by their values. I use ACT in a compassionate, practical way to support meaningful, lasting change.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that impact mood and daily functioning. I use CBT in a practical, collaborative way to build skills that support real, sustainable change.

I specialize in working with women navigating concerns such as body image, self-esteem, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the pressure to “do it all.” I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space that helps women reconnect with themselves, set boundaries, and move toward more balanced, values-aligned lives.
