Tesa Saulmon
LMHC, CSAT, NCC
Hello, I'm Tesa Saulmon, and I am deeply honored to be part of your journey toward healing and transformation. I understand that reaching out for help, especially in areas as sensitive as infidelity, sexual trauma, betrayal, addiction, and substance use, requires immense courage. You're not alone in this—I've walked a similar path and know how challenging it can be.
My own life has been marked by trials that have given me firsthand insight into the pain and complexities associated with these issues. I have wrestled with the turbulence of betrayal and faced the shadows of trauma. Addictions are close to my heart because my parents are both recovering addicts. These experiences have not only shaped me but have also fueled my passion for helping others navigate their own journeys toward recovery and wholeness.
In my practice, I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where you can express your deepest fears, struggles, and hopes without judgment. At the same time, I use directness to challenge your thoughts when you are struggling with denial or when a different perspective may be helpful. Together, we will explore the root causes behind these challenges and work towards reclaiming your life and finding peace, after stabilizing any crisis that may be occurring.
My approach to therapy is compassionate and holistic, drawing on a blend of therapeutic techniques tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether it's working through the aftermath of infidelity, addressing the weight of sexual trauma, or overcoming addiction, I want you to know that healing is possible. It's a process that requires willingness, patience, self-compassion, and support, and I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
Let's work together to rebuild trust, restore your sense of self, and unlock the doors to a more fulfilling and balanced life. You deserve to feel whole again, and I'm committed to helping you get there.

Trauma, Sexual Addiction, Substance Use Addiction, Sexual Betrayal, Infidelity, Sexual Assault or Abuse histories
