Terri Bassi-Cook, LPC

Terri Bassi-Cook is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has practiced in Pennsylvania for 36 years. She takes a client-centered approach, partnering with people to address the obstacles that keep them from living the life they want. Terri prioritizes active listening, nonjudgmental observations, and thoughtful questions that help clients identify what matters most to them and clarify the steps forward.

She helps clients distinguish between the problem itself and the stories they tell about that problem - and she emphasizes that changing those stories often changes the experience. Working collaboratively, Terri explores each person’s worldview, helps identify beliefs that are inaccurate or unhelpful, and supports the process of reshaping those beliefs into more constructive perspectives. She often draws encouragement from familiar lines such as 'You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think' and 'Stop worrying. Stop letting others hold you back. Work hard, take chances and keep the faith. You will never know if you never try.'

Terri creates a welcoming space for people regardless of identity, background, body, beliefs, or who they love. Together with each client she develops a tailored plan focused on individual needs and goals, with the aim of helping people reconnect with who they are and move forward with greater confidence.
