Destiny Redmond
Hello All! Welcome!, my name is Destiny and I am a licensed professional counselor, certified trauma professional, and EMDR-Trained therapist practicing in the state of Georgia for four years. However, I have been in the mental health field as a student, paraprofessional, advocate, and blogger for 6 years. Over the years I have worked with many diverse individuals and groups in inpatient, private practice, residential, and corrections. I specialize in trauma-informed care, mood disorders, and women's issues, however, I also work with many other diverse issues and populations which has given me the ability to advance my knowledge with people of different cultures, gender, sexuality, and race. My life motto and priority is "Everyone is deserving of a safe space to heal and cope in the present moment." With that, I welcome ALL to join me in a space where you don't have to worry about judgment, and as your therapist, I am here to actively learn your story and guide you on your journey toward peace.
Over the years I have worked with many diverse individuals and groups in inpatient, private practice, residential, and corrections.
First session
Clients can expect to go over present issues, and questions about their background and what they would like to start on. Clients can rest assure I offer a safe space for them to open up as little or as much as they want as I know how daunting first sessions can be for the first time. As we move forward in sessions the goal is for you to feel comfortable to share whatever issues or troubles you have without judgement.
Strengths
I believe my biggest strength is working with trauma and crisis clients. As a woman of color, I understand the vulnerabilities of exposure and the likelihood of exposure to violent and traumatic events to historically marginalized groups, how it can impede your daily living, and how we often navigate the world.
Ideal clients
Adults, Adolescents, Women, Men, LGBTQIA+, Veterans, Previously-Incarcerated Individuals, Domestic Violence Survivors, Sexual Assault Survivors, Immigrants, Sex Workers, Religious trauma, spirituality..I am diverse in addressing various areas, goals and concerns that can impact daily life including living with chronic conditions . If there is anything not listed you are more than welcome to reach out and we can discuss if I am able to meet your needs within my scope of practice.
Origin story
Growing up, I was the socially awkward girl. I was introverted, things overstimulated me quickly and sometimes the world was unforgiving to my differences. As a daughter to a Vietnam veteran, I saw how the world treated those who mentally navigated the world differently. I am a advocate because I know what stigma does, how trauma can impact daily living. How anxiety can cloud the mind with thoughts and how depression can make it feel like getting out of bed can be the biggest challenge of day. I believe everyone deserves a space to be heard and to heal even when no one else seems to understand. Being a therapist is part of my passion and despite those of us who process a little differently, we deserve space to thrive as well in what can feel like a busy and overstimulating world.
