Teri Homan is an award-winning filmmaker and solo piano composer who received her bachelor of arts in social work in 1991 and holds a master’s degree in IT Management. She identifies as a lesbian, is twice divorced, and has two children. Teri is known for her compassion and sense of humor and considers herself a life-warrior who manages three different, but intertwined recovery journeys - childhood and adolescent trauma, mental illness, and gambling. 

Teri’s battle with mental illness is a tumultuous experience. At a young age, Teri’s mother had her committed to a psychiatric hospital. In her 30’s she was diagnosed with severe clinical depression, and about four years ago, Teri hit rock bottom when she spent all of her rent money at a casino. 

As a result, Teri entered treatment for gambling and started therapy and EMDR. Today, Teri works regularly with a shaman to promote physical and spiritual health.
