One of the best therapists I've worked with. I feel super comfortable taking with Dee, and he's also always professional. He has the best advice and really understands the root of my problems. Often, he's giving an example or solution and an feel that he totally gets me. That's such a wonderful feeling.

Hey, I'm Dee, a Licensed Clinical Therapist, & Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor,thanks for checking out my profile.
First off, Great work…I say this to commend you for taking this first step towards a better you.
Now, Let me tell you a bit about myself.
My approach to therapy has been described as a relaxed, conversational style approach, looking at the whole person in need, and getting to know you before any advice is given.
I have over 25 of experience in the human service field. I use a combination of therapy styles ,with elements of a Motivational style of conversation , as well as many elements of life coaching skills in my practice. I see growth as something that happens mentally, physically, and spiritually.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when helping you view things in your life from a different perspective. I incorporate some aspects of Mindfulness, breathing and meditation as well, all in helping to have a supportive promotion of your self improvement.
I can offer personal advice on bettering your physical health, from my extensive and continued work in the fields of nutrition, fitness and wellness .
I do all this, with an ultimate goal of increasing your understanding about yourself, and offering help to get things the way you want them in your life.
My style is a person centered approach with every one of my clients. I specialize in work with clients dealing with everyday life struggles in family, parenting, career, relationships, self esteem, confidence, and intimacy. I have many years of work with those involved in the justice system, both institutional and in the community, and can help you get back on track from life's misjudgements . I can help you heal from past or present experiences of neglect, trauma, and abuse from my years of service within the child welfare system. I can help with issues of mental health, and substance abuse , for yourself or someone close to you struggling with addiction.
I can help you with your anxiety, anger, and depression, or for anyone going through a tough time, needing open ears, real world advice and a few wise words every session.
With that said,
Help me Help You.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He’s not your average therapist. He more relatable than any other therapist I’ve seen in years. In order for therapy to work your therapist has to match your vibe and gets that.
One of the best therapists I've worked with. I feel super comfortable taking with Dee, and he's also always professional. He has the best advice and really understands the root of my problems. Often, he's giving an example or solution and an feel that he totally gets me. That's such a wonderful feeling.
I really enjoy how he takes the time to listen and then really gives his honest feedback. I think for myself I really respond to that. He gives examples and explains why situations are the way they are and I like hearing that. I've only had a couple of sessions and he was able to figure out the people in my life and how and why they act the way they do. When he explains how and why situations might be the way they are it gives me insight on it but not only in a way that matchs my situation but in a way that I can take it and match it with other situations. Ive only really seen one other counselor outside of better help and it was a very different experience, where it made me feel a little uncomfortable to share. But Dee makes me feel like we're having a conversation and I really like that. It doesn't make me feel pressured into talking about something.
Has a lot of experience in dealing with men like me and my problems.
Super helpful and understanding. Really helps organize the chaos of life.
Dee has been absolutely wonderful. He understands the underlying issues at hand and can come up with a well thought out plan both in a general sense as well as, importantly, in a practical and actionable way. I thoroughly benefited by my sessions with Dee and highly recommend him!
Very Knowledgeable in a variety of topics and is very encouraging
Dee is the best! Very calm and collective! Gives the best advice.
