More About Theresa Fusaro, MA, LPC:
Theresa really enjoys offering school-based therapy and hopes to be able to do this at HealthPoint. She sees this as the most effective way to reach children consistently and at the least intrusive times in their schedules. She also tried to find solutions for parents who could not bring their children to HealthPoint during the day. Also, she is eager to work with people of all ages and with most behavioral/emotional issues to make a person healthy and whole, especially when a team approach is used at HealthPoint.
She says that working at HealthPoint has provided her with benefits, such as retirement, which she did not have previously, and she gets to do what she loves: counseling! She loves raising her grandchildren and participating in their activities, such as Girl Scouts and Band, as well as singing in church and community choirs, traveling, and camping with her husband and their family.
