Tereasa Jones, M.S.
Professional Relationship Coach

WHAT I DO

As a Relationship Coach, I quite simply help people connect. I help them to connect with themselves, with their partners, with their friends, with their co-workers, and their families. I know that at the most fundamental level we all desire to be connected with others. In fact, I believe that we were designed for connection. The first step in connection, I believe, is for my clients to really know who they are, what they want, and what they need. I work with them to establish this foundation, which lays the ground work for all other relationships.

As a Coach for Singles I help my clients get to know themselves, create a vision for their lives and their relationships, and develop strategies for how to get there. I believe that clients hold all of their own answers. I simply create a safe environment for self-exploration, ask meaningful questions, and give thought provoking field work for my clients to get really clear about what they would like for their lives to look like.

As a Coach for Pre-committed Couples I help my clients maintain their balance when chemistry, hormones, and rose colored glasses threaten to tempt them to throw caution to the wind. When my clients think they have found their future mates, I help them make sure they really know the each other and that they are in alignment with each other in key areas of their lives. I help them remain intentional as they progress in their relationship and make decisions about their futures.

As a Coach for Committed Couples I help my clients become clear about where they are and where they want to be in terms of their relationship. Sometimes my clients want help in deepening their commitment to one another and moving their relationship to the next level, but sometimes they want help in putting their relationship back together again after a breach of trust or a period of growing apart. I partner with my clients exactly where they are, help them discover what they want and need, and develop strategies for how they are going to get it.

MY COACHING STYLE

I believe that each person and each relationship is unique. Whether my clients are coached individually, in couples, or in groups, I recognize that they each have gifts to offer, as well as challenges to overcome. I become close with my clients and develop a relationship with them that, many times, lasts for years. I listen carefully to all that they have to say and offer insights about what I hear and what I don’t hear. Sometimes, what is not being said is more important that what is being said. I rejoice in their successes, and offer compassion when things don’t work out so well. Most of all I partner with my clients always remembering that they are in charge of their own lives and they are the ones who get to make all the decisions. I never fail to be amazed by all the wisdom, inspiration, and love they bring to the coaching relationship.

SELECTED CLIENT COMMENTS

• “Tereasa surprises me with her wisdom. She listens carefully and picks up on things that I might never have been aware of. Her insight is a gift, and when she shares it, I feel understood in a way that I have never felt before.”

• “Tereasa saved our marriage. She guided my husband and I back to each other. She never showed partiality to one or the other of us and supported us equally. She was patient when all I could do was rant about the unfairness of life, and she offered compassion when all I could do was cry. Gradually, my husband and I came to know one another in a way that we had never known each other before. Slowly we rebuilt our lives and our love grew back deeper than before. Last year we renewed our vows and we feel like we have a foundation now that nothing can ever touch.”

• “Tereasa introduced me to myself! She held up a mirror for me to see myself and I actually liked what I saw.”

• “Tereasa helped me discover what I wanted and needed in a relationship. Together we crafted a plan for how I was going to get it. I am now married to the woman of my dreams and we are looking forward to the birth of our first child!”

• “I like working with Tereasa because she is a real person. She shares her life stories when appropriate, and helps me to feel normal.”

• “I love the way Tereasa never beats around the bush. She told me she wouldn’t step over anything and she doesn’t. She tells me her truth and the information is always valuable to me.”

MY MISSION

I have a passion to help people connect on all levels with the people they care about. I see so much loneliness in the world and I know that it doesn’t have to be that way. I hear the cries of women who want girlfriends and men who want to connect with other men and build friendships and mentorships. I hear the voices of both men and women who would give anything to have a life partner to share their lives with. I hear the anguish in the voices of both children and parents when a disconnect has occurred. I hear the fear in the voices of people who are about to lose their jobs or who have trouble getting along with people on their jobs. I hear all of these people and I know that if we partner together we can fill the voids that these people are experiencing. It is just simply a matter of connecting. The magic that occurs between coach and client is a very special one that can lead people out of loneliness and into connectedness.
