More about Deseree
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I believe that the most important determining factor for treatment success is the quality of the therapeutic relationship, which should be built on a foundation of safety, trust, and the spirit of collaboration. I take a client-centered, culturally sensitive, and strengths based approach to therapy. I determine my plan of care based upon the unique needs of each client, incorporating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. My role is to help you facilitate the change you would like to see in your life, to support you in coping more effectively with life's stressors, and to navigate life's transitions. My style is to approach each client with acceptance, empathy, and authenticity as walk alongside them on the path to wellness.
