Theresa Makoons-Solarz, MS, LP

Theresa Makoons-Solarz is a Licensed Psychologist with more than 30 years of experience working with adults facing mental health challenges, life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, and Serious and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI). Her career began in Adult Day Treatment, where she spent many years leading groups and providing individual therapy before transitioning to one-on-one counseling.

Theresa takes a person-centered, individualized approach to therapy, drawing from a variety of therapeutic techniques to meet each client's unique needs. Clients can expect a relaxed, supportive, and straightforward environment with creativity, humor, and practical solutions woven into the process. She believes healing, growth, and recovery are always possible and is passionate about helping people create meaningful change in their lives.

When she's not working, Theresa enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, exploring nature, gardening, playing cards and board games, watching movies and documentaries, and relaxing with her cat. She is inspired by kindness, family, and the healing power of nature—and proudly admits she didn't learn to enjoy black coffee until after age 50.
