About Deanna
I am a LPCC-S and I got my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling at Kent State University. I primarily use narrative therapy, reality therapy/choice theory, EMDR, and ERP. I can see ages 10 years old and up and will be doing telehealth counseling only. I believe the client knows themselves more than I will ever know them and am here to help them with what I learned in school to reach their goals.
I believe we all have a story where what happened to us connects to other things that happen to us. Through mapping out your story, we can find peace in your life.
We all must choose between what is right and what is easy.
"Just because a door closes doesn’t mean you can’t kick it down."
