Hello, I am Derek! It is so nice to meet you. Thank you for taking the time to explore what Grow Therapy can do for you. I hope to be able to come alongside you and work with you to build a life worth living. Life can be challenging sometimes; however, it does not need to stay that way. Hopefully, we can work together to work through life's difficulties and find new ways to manage them moving forward. A little bit about myself. I spent much of my career working with children, adolescents, and their families. I still really enjoy working with adolescents and adults who face difficulties in life. My focus is working with Anxiety, Depression, and Addiction. In addition to working here, I am an Assistant Professor and teach in a Counselor Education program. I look forward to working with you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will take some time to get to know a bit about you. I will find out what you enjoy, what are your passions, and what challenges you are facing. This will assist us in creating a tailored plan that we will use for our time together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel I am a very positive individual and a good listener. I am very open-minded and non-judgemental. I also bring with me vast experience working with multiple populations.
