Since I’ve started therapy, my therapist really has been the person that I can talk to. Glad I have a therapist like Deidra to help me understand what’s causing my issues and what causes my frustrations.

More about Deidra
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a compassionate and culturally competent mental health provider who understands the importance of creating a safe, affirming space where individuals can feel supported, seen, and heard. As a neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I bring a unique perspective and sensitivity to my work, fostering connection and understanding for clients from diverse backgrounds. I am committed to meeting each person where they are, offering warmth and non-judgmental care.
With over 10 years of experience in residential programs, community-based treatment, and outpatient settings, I have worked with individuals and families from a wide range of populations. My expertise includes helping clients navigate challenges such as self-esteem issues, anxiety, trauma, family dynamics, workplace concerns, identity exploration, adjustment difficulties, depression, and addiction management.
My eclectic therapeutic approach integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), person-centered practices, and trauma-informed care, all tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I value the collaborative process of therapy, empowering clients to explore their strengths, address challenges, and work toward meaningful growth and healing.
As a neurodivergent person, I draw on my lived experience to offer a deeper sense of empathy and validation. I understand the nuances of navigating mental health, identity, and the many intersections of life, which allows me to provide truly inclusive and individualized support.
If you’re ready to begin your journey toward greater well-being, I’m here to support you. Reach out today, and let’s work together to enhance your quality of life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
