Introduction

Hi, I’m Derick! I’m a therapist with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Troy University. I have a strong passion for counseling and specialize in working with individual adults (18+) and couples. I support clients through a wide range of challenges, including life transitions, emotional difficulties, behavioral issues, changes, and various mental health diagnoses. My therapeutic approach is holistic and eclectic, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy along with many other evidence-based techniques to meet each client’s unique needs. I am very passionate about creating a safe, welcoming, and affirming therapeutic space where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves. I am dedicated to providing inclusive support for LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent clients, veterans, and anyone who sits across from me. I approach every client with cultural sensitivity, empathy, and respect! At the core of my work, I strive to help all clients recognize their strengths, confront their fears, understand their limitations, and move confidently toward their goals. If interested in starting therapy, I’d love to hear from you! You can reach out by text, email, or phone whenever you're ready. I’m welcoming new clients now with immediate availability!
