  -> actually, I've come across Company of Jesus in my projects, and that's what my NGO client calls it, and I believe Company of Saint Teresa would be no different.

Leave it in Spanish, don't translate it


Explanation:
This is the proper name of a group, organization. I wouldn't translate it. Just give a brief explanation of what it is in English.
It is listed on an English language website with its Spanish name.

Order of Carmel or Order of Discalced Carmel


Explanation:
St. Teresa of Avila

(1515-1582)

"Prayer is an intimate sharing between friends, it means taking the time frequently to be alone, with Him who we know loves us."

In 1452, the nuns became part of the Order of Carmel. A century later, St. Teresa of Jesus initiated her refoundation of the Order (based on the Primitive Rule), which became known as the Discalced Carmelite Order. In her monasteries St. Teresa ardently endeavored to form houses of prayer where intimate friendship with Christ would be sought and valued above all else, and where God would be served with fidelity and with a burning love.

St. Teresa of Jesus is cherished as our "Holy Mother" and a "Doctor of the Church". The Discalced Carmelite Order has been very blessed with three Doctors of the Church: Teresa of Jesus, John of the Cross and Therese of the Child Jesus. Presently, the process of granting a doctorate to Teresa Benedicta of the Cross is underway.

Hope this helps you
Best wishes

(possibly) Teresian Sisters


Explanation:
There seem to be a number of groups taking inspiration from St. Theresa. The question is what is this group customarily called in English. The proper name for the Jesuits is Company of Jesus but they are ordinarily called Jesuits.
I found one group of "Teresians" who work in the US but were founded in France, I believe, in the 19th century.
Presumably this group is in Spain, but has sisters in the US that are part of the same structure, e.g., a worldwide president or board. You should find what the related group is called in English speaking countries.
I was a Catholic priest and am familiar with religious orders.
