Chanterica Ware

Hello! I’m Terica
LPC/Therapist
Welcome to Gateway Family Therapy Services!
I'm an LPC, but you might also call me a believer in hope, healing, and personal growth. I help adolescents, adults, and families who are struggling with life's challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, family difficulties, behavioral concerns, and major life transitions.
My heart for counseling comes from a deep belief that every person has value, purpose, and the ability to grow through difficult experiences. I love helping clients move beyond fear, discover their inner resilience, and develop the confidence needed to create meaningful change in their lives. Whether you're facing a current challenge or carrying the weight of past experiences, you don't have to walk through it alone.
My Approach & Values
I believe healing begins when people feel safe, accepted, and genuinely heard. That's why I strive to create a supportive environment built on trust, authenticity, and respect. My goal is to meet clients where they are and walk alongside them as they work toward the life they desire.
At Gateway Family Therapy Services, we believe healing happens through understanding ourselves, changing unhealthy patterns, and creating healthier relationships. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and client-centered. Together, we'll build on your existing abilities, develop practical tools for navigating life's challenges, and work toward lasting growth and healing.
I am passionate about helping clients overcome fear, strengthen their self-esteem, build confidence, and experience restorative healing that improves their overall quality of life. Clients often share that they feel supported, validated, empowered, and encouraged throughout the counseling process.
