About Terri Cole
Terri Cole is a licensed psychotherapist and relationship expert based in New York. She is the author of 'Boundary Boss: The Essential Guide to Talk True, Be Seen and (Finally) Live Free,' and host of the popular podcast The Terri Cole Show.
Before becoming an expert in love, boundaries, and codependency, Terri spent years as a bi-coastal talent agent negotiating endorsement contracts for supermodels and celebrities. However, her eventual disenchantment with the world of entertainment led her to make a career change in her 30s and become a psychotherapist and empowerment expert. Her mission has been to help women live self-determined lives that they love by teaching them how to establish and maintain healthy boundaries with ease and create and sustain vibrant relationships.
Over the past two decades, Terri has worked with a wide range of individuals, including international pop stars, athletes, Broadway performers, TV personalities, thought leaders, and Fortune 500 CEOs. She empowers a global community of over 800,000 individuals across 189 countries each week through her illuminating videos, articles and blog posts, therapeutic meditations, online courses, and podcast.
Terri's approach integrates practical psychology with eastern mindfulness practices, resulting in a unique blend that allows her to simplify complex psychological concepts for her clients and students. Her gift lies in making these concepts not only accessible but also actionable, leading to sustainable change.
Recognized as an expert therapist and master life coach, she has appeared on popular shows such as GMA3, The Doctors, and NBC News Daily, as well as being featured on the Real Housewives and hundreds of podcasts. She is a contributor to major publications including The Huffington Post, Well+Good, Oprah Daily, and Shondaland, and has been highlighted in People Magazine, The New York Times, Women’s Day, Glamour, Elle, Forbes, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, CNN, and Self.
