New to Grow
I'm Deondre, a Black male therapist and LMSW-C with over 10 years of clinical experience. I use CBT, trauma-focused approaches, and solution-focused therapy to help people build real skills — not just insight. My clients often tell me I'm direct, warm, and that sessions actually feel like progress. I offer a free 15-minute consultation — no commitment, just a conversation. I'm in-person in Southfield and available virtually across Michigan. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon, HAP, and Ascension. When you're ready to take that first step, call or message me directly. I'd love to connect. (Other insurances also accepted, ask for details).
Our first session is all about getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your concerns, your strengths, and the goals you'd like to work toward. This is a judgment-free space where you can share at your own pace. Together, we'll identify patterns, develop practical strategies, and create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and goal-oriented, helping you build on your strengths while working through life's challenges.
I believe meaningful change happens when people feel truly heard and understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I take the time to understand your unique experiences while also helping you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I balance empathy with honest, respectful feedback, empowering you to build on your strengths and make practical, lasting changes. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or personal growth, we'll work together to create a plan that fits your goals and values. My aim is for every client to leave each session feeling supported, challenged, and equipped with tools they can use in everyday life. In addition to providing therapy, my experience in care management and behavioral health has strengthened my ability to help clients navigate complex life challenges while keeping treatment practical, organized, and focused on measurable progress.
I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families who want more than just someone to listen—they want someone to help them understand why they're feeling stuck and how to move forward. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family conflict, major life transitions, or everyday stress. My ideal clients don't need to have everything figured out; they simply need a willingness to show up and work together. I provide a supportive, judgment-free environment while offering honest feedback, practical strategies, and accountability to help clients create meaningful, lasting change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be keeping them stuck. Together, we examine patterns, develop healthier ways of thinking, and practice practical coping strategies that clients can apply in their daily lives. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each individual's goals, helping clients build confidence and create lasting change.
