Ida Terry, LPC

Ida Terry brings 22 years of counseling experience to work with individuals, families, and couples who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship strain, or the aftermath of traumatic events.

She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with formal training that includes a Master of Arts degree in Counseling, a two-year advanced certificate in Internal Family Systems theory, and a Certificate of Achievement in the addiction treatment of military and veteran culture. Behavioral and collaborative therapies, along with selected biblical principles, inform her clinical approach to ensure that care aligns with each client’s needs and beliefs.

Ida works from a client-centered foundation and integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative and existential techniques, and solution-focused methods to address concerns including addiction, family and blended family dynamics, trauma and abuse, intimacy and relationship issues, parenting challenges, coping with life changes, and a range of emotional difficulties. She aims to help people heal, build resilience, and move toward the goals they set for themselves, working respectfully with diverse cultural perspectives and lived experiences.
