LP, 8 years of experience
My name is Dr. Detrie and I am glad you are looking to start your journey for growth and improvement. Knowing where to begin can be hard, but the first step is recognizing that something in your life needs to change. I am a licensed, nationally registered clinical psychologist. I started Sea Glass Psychological Services because I am passionate about helping individuals overcome the challenges of life. I believe people are like sea glass: sometimes we go through things in life that can break us, leaving rough, jagged edges. We may no longer feel whole or useful in the way we once were. Like life, the ocean can tumble and toss what is left around, sending us adrift. While that glass may not be the whole as it once was, it is through the breaking and trauma of the ocean that something new and beautiful is created. Life can be hard. Whether you are dealing with loss, change, transition, or another challenge of life—feeling like you have been broken can leave you in distress. I am passionate about helping individuals see their way through times of distress so they can reach their transformation into something that is beautiful and new like sea glass. I have experience and training in treating a variety of areas including depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, substance use, criminal behavior, and mental illness. I work exclusively with adults but provide individual, couples, and group treatment. I have extensive training and experience in psychological testing, including ADHD diagnostic testing. Please contact me directly if you are interest in psychological testing (cash pay only, reduced rates available).
Our initial session provides me the opportunity to gather necessary background information to help put your symptoms, behaviors, and experiences into context. I will spend time asking a lot of questions about your history and current symptoms so we can collaboratively complete your assessment and develop a treatment plan that is best suited for you. While I know you may be eager to start your therapeutic journey, getting into processing and learning new ways of coping, this initial session will focus more on information gathering and setting us up to start that journey in our subsequent sessions!
I truly want to see my patients succeed and improve. I am always on your team, in your corner, and have my patients' best interests in mind. However, I am genuine in my approach. At times, I will use humor, be direct, and even challenge you. My ultimate goal is for my patients to become self-sufficient and no longer need therapy. This means the healing process can be difficult at times as growth does not come easy -- but remember, I will be here to see you through it to the other side.
I work exclusively with adults. Clients with certain conditions and severe disorders that are not suited for telehealth and will be referred out.
I am trained in CBT to help clients recognize how their thinking is impacting their thoughts and behaviors, learning to disrupt problematic and maladaptive schemas and develop healthier, more effective thinking skills.
