If you're ready to do this courageous, deeply rewarding work so that you can bring joy back into your life again, I would love to help you.
Do you remember a time when... life felt good, easy and familiar? When struggle, mistrust and that sense of feeling lost in it all weren’t the “norm”? Do those days feel like a distant memory? Hi, I'm Joanne Deaker and I help people like you break free of Good Girl Syndrome so they can unapologetically be themselves and enjoy life like they were meant too. I also specialize in divorce recovery. I use creative (arts therapy) and embodied (somatic) processes to help you get out of your head and into your body so we can go deep, get to the root of your challenges and move them.

I bring my own lived experienced of what it means to be navigating the fullness of an authentic, meaningful and humanly imperfect life.
Hi, I’m Jack. I am a psychotherapist, educator, father and long term partner and I came to this work through my own experiences with therapy. I have come to trust that both acceptance and change are possible in our lives. There are many reasons we may begin therapy; we may long for change or hope for opportunities for healing, growth and transformation. Whether there is a particular thing you are struggling with, a need for greater support, or an interest in deepening self-awareness, I can support you on your journey.

I understand life's pitfalls having lived through many of them myself.
I've helped many people see their lives more clearly and be the person they want to be. What would you like to change? Is there something you feel is holding you back but you just can't figure out what or why? Sometimes you might just want someone to talk to that isn't a friend or family member to give you an independent insight to a problem. Whatever you are looking for, I can help you reframe what isn't working and give you a different perspective.

If this resonates, please reach out—I’d love to support you on your journey to the life you deserve.
Navigating life after a late-in- life ADHD diagnosis (whether clinically diagnosed or self-diagnosed) can often feel incredibly isolating and overwhelming. Finding the right support in a timely manner is tough, and even when you do, it might not be the right fit. You may feel frustrated when the strategies don't work or are hard to follow, leaving you wondering, "What's the point of a diagnosis if nothing changes?"
