Hi! My name is Derick, a therapist with a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. I received my bachelor’s in Psychology with ABA from Troy University. I have a strong passion for counseling, and I specialize in working with individual adults (18+) and couples, supporting them through a wide range of life challenges, disorders, transitions, and diagnoses. I believe in a holistic approach to counseling with an eclectic theoretical orientation, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy and many other counseling techniques to support each client.
I am passionate about creating a safe, welcoming, and affirming therapeutic space where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves. I am dedicated to providing inclusive support for LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent clients, and anyone who sits across from me. I approach every client with cultural sensitivity, empathy, and respect.
At the core of my work, I strive to help all clients recognize their strengths, confront their fears, understand their limitations, and move confidently toward their goals. If interested in therapy sessions with me, please text, email, or call me directly anytime. I'm currently accepting new clients for in person or telehealth sessions.

I often integrate several types of therapies into my sessions. In a client's first sessions we will discuss what brings them to therapy and then decide what types are the most appropriate to help them.
