Are you tired of hearing, “It’s all in your head,” or being told to simply “get over it”? You’re not alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or the ups and downs of bipolar disorder—frustrated by the stigma and misconceptions surrounding mental health.

I’m Derkia, a licensed therapist specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I’m here to tell you that your feelings are valid. Together, we’ll explore the real challenges you’re facing, and I’ll provide a safe space for you to express yourself without judgment.

CBT is at the heart of my approach, but I believe in using a holistic toolkit to help you find what truly works for you. Whether it’s mindfulness techniques, guided imagery, or integrating aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs. My goal is to empower you with practical strategies that help you feel grounded, hopeful, and ultimately, on the right track to recovery.

You deserve to feel understood and supported. Let’s work together to navigate the complexities of your mind and emotions—building resilience one step at a time.

If you’re ready to take that first step towards healing, reach out. I’m here for you. 💖
