Therese “Teri” Lange is an Adult‑Gerontology Nurse Practitioner with a uniquely integrative background that blends hands‑on therapeutic experience, clinical depth, and a whole‑person approach to wellness. Born in the Philippines and raised in New York, Teri grew up in a family rooted in business and finance, but her passion for health, healing, and human connection led her toward a different path.
Teri began her healthcare journey in 1998 after earning her Massage Therapy Certification from The Swedish Institute. Over the next 24 years, she built a respected career as a licensed massage therapist specializing in medical and orthopedic massage. Her work in sports facilities, chiropractic clinics, and wellness settings shaped her understanding of the body, movement, and pain in a way that continues to inform her clinical practice today.
Driven to expand her ability to care for patients, Teri pursued nursing in 2011 and graduated with honors in 2014. As a Registered Nurse, she gained experience in long‑term care, hospice, and mental health—settings that deepened her appreciation for compassionate, patient‑centered support. During her RN career, Teri diligently pursued her Master of Science in Nursing degree, graduating from Russell Sage College in 2020, and soon became a board‑certified Adult‑Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner.
From 2020 to 2023, Teri worked in a gastroenterology specialty practice, caring for patients with a wide range of digestive health concerns. This experience strengthened her expertise in GI‑related conditions and continues to shape her approach to whole‑body wellness.
From 2023 to 2025, Teri practiced in an integrative physical medicine clinic focused on opioid‑free management of acute and chronic pain. Working within an interdisciplinary team, she provided comprehensive evaluations, developed individualized treatment plans, and routinely performed trigger point injections. Her approach emphasized nonsurgical, holistic strategies and patient empowerment through education to support mobility, function, and quality of life.
Today, as a nurse practitioner at T Wellness, Teri brings together her diverse clinical background to support adults and retirees seeking digestive health support, metabolic and weight‑focused care, medical cannabis evaluations, and integrative approaches to pain. Her practice reflects her core values: prevention, education, empowerment, and accessible care tailored to the needs of rural communities.
Outside of her clinical work, Teri is a lifelong learner who continually pursues advanced training to better serve her patients. She is an avid reader and enjoys spending time with her husband and family. Her blend of experience, compassion, and commitment to whole‑person wellness makes her a trusted partner in her patients’ health journeys.
