Sometimes we come to places in our lives when we don't know where to turn. At these times, we need someone to walk alongside us as we search. When I am invited to be that person, my role as your counselor is to provide a caring relationship of trust in which you can find healing and hope. I've heard it said, "It is in relationships that we become broken, and it is in relationships that we can find healing." Whether you are an individual, couple or family, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you - wherever you are in your journey.

Congratulations on wanting to make changes to enhance the quality of your life! I believe that most of us CAN make the changes we deeply want to, particularly if we have a knowledgeable advocate supporting us. I believe effective psychotherapy is often about both uncovering how we acquired the (literal or psychological) obstacles to our best paths and about the process of (emotional, cognitive and/or behavioral) skills' acquisition to remove those blocks. I strive to be a compassionate, trustworthy, and enthusiastic partner to my clients' growth processes.

No two people or situations are exactly the same. I use active listening skills as you express your reality, so that we can work towards a positive change in your situation. I enjoy and continue to work with a diverse clientele. Providing services to adult and adolescent individuals who may be dealing with depression, boundary setting, bullying, self-esteem, peer pressure, gender identity or other environmental concerns that may unsettle daily life.

Mental Health concerns are public health concerns. Your mental wellbeing is just as important as your physical health. We all go through things and you don't have to go through those things alone.

I believe people have the capacity to overcome problems and deserve access to tools and resources that allow them to do so.

Please come see me even if you have tried therapy many times but still haven't given up on healing! My goal as a therapist is to have a large bag of tools for you so that we can find a technique that you respond to best. I love working with creative people, people who are suffering from anxiety, depression, conflict, people who have chronic pain despite medication adherence and people who are just plain confused about why they feel the way they do.

Are you wanting some help for your child - and maybe for yourself as well?

My mission is to serve individuals by providing personalized mental health care in a safe, nonjudgmental space. I strive to plant seeds of hope and empower clients to experience mental, physical, and spiritual freedom. Communicating the depth of our personal emotion is difficult, yet necessary.

Hello, My name is Destanie Kirkland. I use an eclectic approach to counseling, understanding that we all have our own ways to heal. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and welcome clients from any back ground. I believe that multicultural awareness and competency is an important part of understanding and assisting with navigating your world. Life can sometimes have many difficulties, but I believe everyone can gain the tools to grow, learn, and process.

We all possess the tools needed for personal healing. Therapy can help you to develop the awareness needed to utilize these tools and put them into practice in daily life. Seeking therapy is brave and I consider the therapeutic relationship a truly meaningful privilege. We will walk through the process of personal discovery learning how to identify old patterns and self soothe through healthy coping. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral interventions but I believe healing also happens in the telling of your personal narrative. My goal for this relationship is to help you foster the skills to become your own therapist.
