Hi I'm Deandra, Licensed Professional Counselor based in Virginia. I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I strive to offer individuals the support they need to successfully address life challenges, assist them with finding their strengths, and identifying personal solutions to lead a happy and fulfilled life. I enjoy working with older teens, college students, and adults to reach their full potential.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we will complete your intake and collaboratively discuss your therapy goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I strive to have my clients to feel the most comfortable in my presence, allowing them to have a safe place where they can be open and honest without any bias.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I used Cognitive Behavior Therapy to assist my clients manage issues in a more positive way. While in treatment you will be shown how to change negative thought patterns to improve the way you feel. We will focus on ways of managing current problems through the use of CBT, rather than focusing on issues from your past.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution Focused Brief Therapy will be utilized to concentrate on finding solutions in the present and exploring one's hope for the future through finding resolutions while working together in therapy.
