(she/her)
My name is Deenne Houston. I have been a License Clinical Social Worker for over 13 years, in Los Angeles, California. I have extensive experience as a Director, Trainer, Administrator and Clinical Supervisor in Intensive Services within Los Angeles County Mental Health Services. My work is strongly grounded in wellness, resiliency, the promotion of self sufficiency, and support. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, self-esteem, depression and relational issues. I have also assisted many people who have experienced trauma or emotional, physical abuse, PTSD, anger, communication issues, and family members impacted by addiction. My goal is to assist in the process of establishing coping skills to help individuals achieve, their therapeutic goals, overall fulfillment and wellness.
The first session will consist of introduction of your presenting concerns, as well as gaining a better understanding of the depths of your challenges, along with assisting you with achieving your goals.
My strengths are that I assist clients with identifying and addressing their unmet therapeutic needs, through their innate strenghts and growth at their individual pace. Inclusive of being psychoanalytic, I also lean strongly toward solution focus and strength based therapeutic strategies.
Adult clients, 18yrs to 64 are my primary clientele. I work well with clients who are open to explore alternative strategies, coping techniques and interventions to meet their individualized goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a Therapist who utalizes CBT, a large part of my focus consists of assisting clients with challenging re occurring negative thoughts through reframing and identifying alternative options to manage their feelings in order to gain a more stable emotional equilibrium.
