About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I have worked with individuals in the mental health field for 10 years. With life come trials and tribulations! This journey is about progress, not perfection, everyone is capable of change. When people experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. I seek to humanize mental health struggles and encourage therapy to everyone as the path to normalizing and living a healthy, active, fulfilling life. I am dedicated to working with individuals who have symptoms of anxiety, depression, managing their anger, and trauma-related issues. I help individuals identify the root of the underlying pain, fear, insecurity, and lack of motivation.

When I begin looking for a therapist it took a couple of days to read the profiles., but Dkeya Torres profile stood out and kept drawing back. I felt a connection with her and I'm glad that I chose her and she has everything and then some in my journey of therapy.
