Introduction

Welcome! I’m Derrick, a Registered Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Intern, dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. With six years of experience, I specialize in strengthening relationships, fostering communication, and supporting clients through emotional struggles like anxiety, depression, or major life changes. You’ll find a nonjudgmental environment in our sessions where your voice is heard. I believe challenges are opportunities for connection and transformation. Together, we’ll work toward practical solutions and meaningful change at your pace. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based techniques such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), or Systemic Therapy to create a safe space where you can explore. Ready to take the first step? I offer services via in-person, teletherapy, or both, and I am currently accepting new clients. Reach out today to schedule a consultation—I’d love to hear your story and explore how I can support you on your healing journey! Dr. Smith
