Counseling can be a rewarding experience, and she is excited to be a part of her client's journey.
Demetria prioritizes building a strong therapeutic rapport through trust, empathy, and open communication. This foundation supports a collaborative, client-centered approach to treatment planning, focusing on tailored goals that promote growth and lasting progress.
The wellness model includes working with the mind, body, and spirit. I incorporate each of these in my theoretical intervention. I am trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-informed care.
I am dedicated to working with adult clients who are ready and willing to embrace personal growth and development. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I strive to create a supportive environment that fosters self-awareness, resilience, and positive change. My goal is to empower clients to overcome challenges, unlock their potential, and achieve meaningful progress in their lives.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been training in trauma-focused CBT and have over four years of experience in this intervention style.
Trauma Informed Care
I am certified as a trauma-informed care provider and a trauma-informed care trainer by the Kentucky Department of Behavioral and Health and Intellectual Disabilities.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing gives the client permission to be present in the room and search deeper into part of their mind than they have gone. While I remain their passenger seat rider, I am assisting them with realizing areas they may need deeper support then we use CBT to master that newly learned knowledge.
Attachment-based
Attachment styles are developed as young as the age of 2. They are developed in childhood; however, they follow you into the different areas of your life. Areas like romance, social, and occupational. I love helping my clients connect the dots.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered is a conversational style that I use to assist with building our relationship. Opening up to a stranger can be difficult and this can help the bonds grow.

She was straight forward with me. I looked at her and said I disagree with you. She didn’t flinch, she kept making me see the truth and I’m thankful for that.

Ms. January is an amazing therapist who not only teaches me great strategies to help with my anxiety, but gives me great resources to read over to help me with my goals as well as exercises. Anyone needing a great therapist should look her up. She was exceptional in helping me deal with my grief after losing my father and for that, I owe her so much. She’s a blessing to anyone that becomes her client.
